About Me

I believe whole-heartedly in the importance of the mind-body-spirit connection for optimal health and wellness. I believe that all physical, mental, and emotional issues are interconnected. An issue in one area affects all the rest. Symptoms that manifest physically are very often rooted in wounding and imbalances of our emotional body, energetic body, and psyche. To truly heal and thrive, we must address the wholeness of our being.

The body has an innate intelligence and divinity for self-healing, but may not always be in the necessary state to do so. By nurturing the mind-body-spirit connection, we create and honor the space and awareness for healing, transformation and growth to occur. It is from this place of empowerment and vibrancy that we may achieve optimum health, wellness, and harmony so that we may embody our full potential, thriving in the lives we choose to create.

In the last couple of years, my work has been largely focused on working with women experiencing anxiety, depression, and other manifestations of unresolved trauma. My experience working at a holistic, in-residence recovery center for women has been rich, inspiring, highly educational, rewarding, and at times challenging. What I have gained the most from this is some serious hands on learning that deeply informs how I work with clients.
