This Practice Was Born From Self Healing

I survived a childhood of tragedy and trauma, and as an adult I’ve walked through unspeakable loss. I overcome unbelievable monumental set backs, including physical disability…. by myself.

Finding balance during times of chaos, pain, and shock is a challenge. Finding my center, my wholeness, my hope. Overcoming pain and grief has been a cyclical process - from a very young age. It was my connection with nature, with source that got me through. The cycles of the seasons, the moon, the sun, the sky- the flowers and the death and rebirth of it all- it is a great mystery and it will always amaze me. It is my source, a wellspring of inspiration and awe. How humbled and grateful I become, and feel my ego attachments slip away as I become more present. More connected. Connected with the purity of Source.

This innate, eternal feeling of connection helped me heal. In silence, in stillness, in solitude, is where I feel most aligned with the flow of something meaningful.

I heal when I feel.

From a young age, I experience awakenings, and inner knowing of universal truths and principals. I have spent my lifetime seeking external validation of these inner truths, and I found much of it in the cosmology and systematic approach of Ayurveda, the science of life.

real healing doesn’t come from a product line or a pill— it comes from authentic presence.

Ayurveda is all about fostering self awareness. Practices for self growth, and self compassion. We all have a fundamental need to be fully seen and heard, yet first we must learn to fully see and hear. This begins by tuning into ourselves. Our true self.

The paradigm of understanding the human body and life, in relation to the world around us informs everything I do. It is a very different way of thinking then what we are accustomed to in the West. But it feels right to me, and the results in my life and my clients validate this age old, timeless system of health, vitality, healing, and manifestation.

My professional Ayurvedic practice began as a massage therapist, a skin health specialist, and meditation and dance-yoga instructor. I know counsel clients for radiant health and beauty with Ayurvedic herbs and lifestyle medicine.

In addition to helping clients as an Ayurvedic Practitioner, I maintain a practice as a psyco-somatic therapist and empowerment coach, which works with the mind-body-emotions through counseling, movement and creativity. To learn more about this aspect of my practice click here.

Both these approaches combine into a more well rounded, truly holistic career path of healing- encompassing both East and Western modalities. There is immense wisdom in both, and both have worked for me.

What makes me a more effective therapist and healer is my entry point is directly through the heart. I tune in and work with the emotional body. When I tap into my clients emotional energy field, I know exactly what they need to release old patterns, restore their heart, gain emotional balance, repair relationships, and empower themselves to the depths of their core.

I know that even in our deepest despair, inspirational beauty can be found all around us, we just have to look for it, and listen. Listen to the hum behind the noise. Hear the song of the birds, the insects. All of these are here to remind us of something we have long forgotten… that we are here is a divine miracle, and it is a joy to simply breathe, to feel to consume the natural world we were born into.

This is the embodied wisdom, the healing gift I bring to my clients, put simply:

the power of presence.
