Twenty years ago I was in poor health with chronic infections, auto-immune disease, and cancer. I suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome, foot addictions, phobias, depression, panic attacks, and infertility. Although my body-mind was communicating loud and clear, I was unconscious and unaware of the message.
When the Western medical healthcare system that I had been educated in and worked in for 15 years was unable to get to the root of my issues, I turned to energy medicine therapies and began healing from the inside out.
As the healing unfolded, amazing changes rippled out through every aspect of my life. I experienced not only improved health, but transformation in my relationships, my career, and my very state of being. Learning to listen and respond to the symptoms that had plagued me as messages from my deeper self, rather than something to suppress and eradicate, was like walking through a doorway to whole person healing.
For over 16 years I have studied energy-based healing modalities and natural health methods, and provided a safe and nurturing environment for clients to have their own transformative experiences. I would be honored to assist you in creating your own success story.
When East met West
….or should I say, when East collided with West?! For the first thirty years of my life, my view of health was shaped by the Western culture I was raised in, the Western medical healthcare system I was educated in, and the clinical environments I worked in. When first introduced to healthcare practices that originated in the East, I was pretty skeptical, and even downright dismissive. But as I began experiencing some of these natural therapies and then studying them, much of what I had been taught about the nature of health and illness was turned on its head. It wasn’t easy for me to change my views. Yet, there was no denying that energy medicine was working, improving my health and changing my life in unexpected ways.
As I studied energy medicine and natural health practices, I discovered that energy-based therapies are actually part of our history in the West, flourishing in the United States only a century ago. We are currently experiencing a resurgence in both the use and acceptance of these therapies as many scientific findings of the last hundred years that help explain energy medicine are re-discovered, advanced by more recent studies. Needless to say, it's exciting to be a part of this movement.
Assisting and guiding others in whole person healing is my passion. Each day I am grateful for the opportunity to facilitate healing in others.

When I'm not working with clients...
I'm usually doing research for and writing a book a mind-body health book that contains everything you need to know to understand the causes of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health issues and the key to healing them in a way that goes beyond symptom elimination into growth and transformation.
I also enjoy walking my dogs, Lexi and Stanley, playing the piano and singing, and spending time with my family.
