It is such an honor to have you here with me! I am beyond grateful that you have taken the time to see what I offer and how I can serve you the most. I love mind-body wellness and those who seek healing not only the physical body, but the energy body, the mind, spirit, and the soul. My passion is working with clients, just like yourself, who value and appreciate depth, and those who are willing to explore transformational & non-conventional healing modalities. I believe in a more wholistic approach to finding balance in the body and believe we all have the ability to heal ourselves, mostly because I have been on this path myself for a very long time.
While I have been a healer and intuitive my entire life, I have been through many "initiations" that have brought me to where I am today and empowered me to step into my fullest self. I thought I would share a bit of my story so you know that I am YOU. I have been through many difficult things and have gained so much insight into healing, wellness, and spiritual wellbeing. Here is a part of my story that you may be able to relate to!
My life has been a road into healing from chronic depression, chronic illness, nervous system disorders, emotional and verbal abuse, addiction, and lyme disease. I hid my Self away for a very long time and learned what most of us do, to numb my pain, confusion, and hurt. What I have learned along the way is that we cannot do this deep, evolutionary work alone. We need support and guidance and to be seen and heard. HEALING IS A LIFELONG JOURNEY.
One of the many initiations I experienced, which had a huge impact on not only my physical body, but also my emotional and spiritual path, was my diagnosis with lyme disease. In 2015, after years of gradually feeling sick and being extremely depressed, I was diagnosed with lyme disease. I saw this as an opportunity to deepen my personal healing and gather more tools to heal my body and soul. It was extremely apparent to me that this was about loving my Self and working on my shadows. The dialogue I continually had running through my mind was so self deprecating that that in itself literally made me sick. I realized that through the journey of lyme I could relate more to clients who have experienced chronic illness. I was also gifted with amazing practitioners who taught me how to care for myself and heal deep emotional wounds that I had carried with me most of my life, all of which led me to work deeper with my clients and share the information I had learned to help them heal on all levels.
I love weaving together the many modalities I have learned over the past 23 years as a way to really support my clients in body, mind, spirit, and soul. Outside of therapeutic bodywork, I have studied yoga & meditation, Buddhist Psychology, psycho-somatic body therapy, nutrition & health coaching, indigenous energy healing, and earth based medicine. The hands-on therapies I offer are modalities I picked up along the way thru my own healing journey and that helped to heal my body. I received assisted lymphatic treatments once a week for many months and learned visceral and maya abdominal massage to help heal my gut and support my reproductive system. Along with many other holistic approaches to healing such as herbal medicine, meditation, breath work, and somatic healing, I continue to learn and add to my tools as a way to support others and share all I know with my clients to encourage them to live a more healthy lifestyle. We teach what we know and what we learn. I am grateful to lift others up and empower those who are in need of support and healing!
