I discovered the wellness world 16 years ago while I was living in Spain; my boyfriend died suddenly from an epileptic seizure and my world came crashing down. This catapulted me onto a path of conscious growth. At the time, I had little awareness, and few skills to cope with this massive life event. Over time and through the power of intention, I acquired the awareness, skills, tools and resources needed to heal from this experience and previous traumas.
I now use the awareness, resources, skills and compassion I gained through this experience, along with over a decade of training and experience in yoga, coaching, and Somatic Touch work, and over 20 yrs. of study in Psychology and Spiritual Psychology to assist people in freeing themselves from inner limitations and to lead conscious, purposeful and thriving lives.
My mission is to help you integrate the unique combination of experiential tools and resources you need to expand your well-being in order to feel truly energized, empowered, purposeful and lit up from the inside out. From this place, it is my intention to help you light up the world around you, and serve others with your unique gifts and talents.
In loving service –
Life calls not for perfection, but for wholeness.
Professional Background
My heartfelt mission is to assist my clients (both children and adults) in integrating the experiential tools, resources, and support needed to thrive, awaken and bring to fruition one’s heartfelt desires, intentions and goals with grace and ease.
Through a direct yet gentle approach, I use cutting edge healing technology that assists individuals by empowering them with the experiential tools and guidance to grow in self-awareness, self-responsibility and accountability.
Today’s world requires us to respond with wisdom, resilience, strength and grace.
This work creates shifts at the root level within consciousness resulting in:
- freedom from limiting patterns and beliefs
- cultivating supportive beliefs, habits and actions
- increased self-confidence, resilience and emotional intelligence
- freedom from intergenerational healing
- more loving and meaningful relationships
- a greater ability to use their gifts and talents to create a meaningful contribution in the world
My clients consistently report coming to greater levels of empowerment, resilience, peace, fulfillment and happiness as a result of our work together.
