My voyage in life has amassed 20+ years of Healing Arts, self-development training and experience that have influenced me personally while guiding me towards my passion of working with others – as individuals, teams and groups – making possible the journey of discovery, integration and freedom.
Through the years, I’ve discovered that when I touch someone, there is the opportunity to connect with the whole person at a deeper level --physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I consider this experience a sacred privilege and a true gift. It has led me to discover new and complementary approaches that benefit my clients ‘whole being’.
My background includes both formal and informal education that offers individuals a unique blend of skills and experience that can be applied to their specific needs, many of which use their own body’s wisdom as a conduit for change in their life. Training includes:
