I’m a personal development coach and mentor for people who are exploring their emotional and mental wellness and their spiritual growth. I’ve been drawn to psychology and nature since I was a teen and have explored dozens of healing modalities in the quest of “how do we heal?”

I’ve learned two things—first and foremost, we heal ourselves, and second, we all can use some help in the form of receiving teaching, acknowledgement, energy, love, compassion, empathy, and physical support (food, herbs, massage and chiropractic and energy work for instance). and feedback from trusted people for nurturing growth and healing. Everyone gets to explore the ways that will help them heal and there’s no one size fits all. In fact, we each have the responsibility to develop our own healing compass; you can take all the ideas from others, but you have to build self awareness and hone your ability to trust your next steps.

My most beloved forms of healing are being seen and heard and felt by trusted ones, taking healthy food and herbs, receiving or using subtle energy techniques, sound, allowing the support of the ascended masters and angels, tapping into my ancestral resources, making art, and engaging with the nature and the earth through being in nature, gardening, raising chickens and bees and growing medicinal plants. All of these modalities arouse my innate capacity to listen, learn, contemplate and trust myself as I move towards making sense of my challenges and integrate lessons into inner peace.

On my journey towards my personal healing and supporting others, I’ve become an apprentice level herbalist, master’s degree holder in counseling psychology, intermediate level somatic experiencing practitioner, professional certified coach, ancestral medicine practitioner in training, and a number of other modalities that merge together to assist me in being present and helping my clients discover their best way towards healing.

Sometimes I get tired of all this healing “effort” and I am exploring that as well. I’m open to new ways of thinking, and have found myself being drawn to radical and simply fresh concepts and practices, some of which are actually ancient. What if we are whole and perfect even if we are in ill health or with broken bodies and hurting hearts? Sometimes accepting these conditions is the work we are called to do. I am open to stretching beyond judgement and holding all of us in love and acceptance. We are constantly evolving and often we are ready to understand ourselves at a new level of consciousness.

My ultimate goal is to hold the presence of my spirit and allow peace with my human experience, remaining grounded in this messy and confusing but beautiful and delicious world. My goal for my clients is that each one find the next right piece to the puzzle in their journey and receive the care and guidance they need to heal and awaken, and transform! My job is to help clients dissolve the resistance and find their own solutions and answers.
