About Me
With a strong desire to change my life from trauma and survival to thriving vitality, I dove in to Reiki training in 2009.
Reiki lit up my passion for holistic healing and for helping others. After completing Reiki Master level in 2010, I began school for massage therapy and polarity therapy at SpaTech Institute in Plymouth. I graduated with my massage license in 2012 and simultaneously became attuned to Reiki Master/Teacher.
In 2013, I completed a two-year herbal/plant spirit medicine apprenticeship with the Gaia School of Healing which gave me tools and knowledge to address dis-ease with herbs and shamanic practice. I continue to expand and learn and in 2021 began incorporating sound healing and vibrational therapy through the use of tuning forks as well as through out-loud prayer and affirmations - what I term Voice Alchemy. I have also continued my education in CranioSacral Therapy with Upledger Institute - completing both CST 1 & 2. In 2023, I completed an online certification to be a "Certified PEMF practitioner" so that I can now offer medical grade PEMF therapy to help bring clients to the next level in relaxation, repair and regeneration as a part of their bodywork treatments and beyond. All of these modalities and more have greatly impacted my life with such benefit, and I am honored and excited to share these tools with you to help you with whatever you are working through.
In a bodywork session, I tune into your body's rhythm and am intuitively guided by your body's innate intelligence to utilize the right flow and techniques to offer you the greatest nurturance and nourishment, so your mind, body and soul get a chance to unwind and tune into a deep state of dream-like relaxation – where the deepest healings and transformations occur.
I have been trained and specialize in a wide variety of techniques including:
Deep Tissue
Myofascial Release
Prenatal/postnatal
Polarity Therapy & Reiki
Shamanic Practice
Sports Massage - range of motion, stretching.
Tension headache/TMJ relief

Transformation begins within. Our bodies are our ultimate soul mates, here with us to help us experience this beautiful and sometimes crazy world. With practice and dedication to self-care, self-love, nurturance, nourishment and self honesty, our cells and structure literally re-organize and re-tune to give us experiences of expanded vitality.
With the proper care and conditions, the body heals itself!
