Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.

Read on for more information about me and how I came to be doing this work .

I have never had that one thing that I wanted to do more than anything else. I didn’t have a clear sense of a professional path. I’ve always been interested in many different things and for a long time wasn’t sure how I could translate that into a cohesive plan for myself. I’ve just been taking each next step along my path, trusting that eventually the whole picture would make sense.

Psychology
I always loved science and medicine - specifically the idea of being able to help people feel better. When I learned more about psychology in college, I was fascinated. I got a B.A. in psychology and went on to get a doctorate in clinical psychology a little while later (after a brief stint working in development for a paleontological research institution - a very worthwhile side quest).

I loved learning all that I did in graduate school. The depth of understanding human behavior, the art of holding space, the skill of truly listening and developing a comfort sitting with silence. Psychology gave me an incredible foundation for working with people—how to ask the right questions, how to sit with someone in their pain, how to formulate an effective treatment plan. But it did feel like something was missing. It wasn't hands-on enough. I wanted to be able to give people more tools that they could take home, practices to help them continue to heal in their everyday life.

Ayurveda
When I learned about Ayurveda, I was enchanted. It’s an ancient, incredibly elegant system that, very simply put, sees the individual as a reflection of the world around it, a microcosm of the macrocosm. It’s a system that honors the unique makeup of every individual, and which encourages careful listening to the body, and attending to the subtlest of cues, often by harnessing the rhythms and wisdom of nature. Ayurveda is vast, and I love that there's always more to learn, deeper levels of awareness to awaken. There are many tools to care for the body and mind and as I continued to study I found great benefit in these practices.

Energy
But there was still something I kept feeling called toward. Something that frankly, felt magical. I had had very positive experiences receiving energy healings from a practitioner. I was skeptical until I tried it and couldn’t deny how helpful it was. But it seemed out of reach to learn. Then I met someone extraordinary who offered to teach me the fundamentals of a specific tradition of energy work. At the conclusion of her teachings, she pointed me toward a school where I could continue my studies in healing, and for the last few years, I've been immersed in that world. I can genuinely say, without hyperbole, that it has changed my life.

Learning to work with energy has broadened the way I conceptualize healing and has deepened everything I do. It's given me a way to help people release what isn't theirs to carry and reclaim the parts of themselves they thought were lost. Sometimes those shifts are subtle; sometimes they’re profound.

In writing this, I am realizing in real time that I studied systems specifically focusing on mind, body, and spirit, in that order. I’ve never been interested in collecting credentials. I have perceived gaps in the systems I’ve been in the process of studying, and have looked for the knowledge or practices that could fill those gaps. And so one field of study has led to the next, which has led to the next, and so on and so forth. I follow my curiosity down new paths on a regular basis, so It’s inevitable that any new understandings will get folded into what I’m able to offer. There’s a lot to learn out there.

The unexpected beauty of a non-linear path

Healing is a very personal journey. It’s not a linear process.

My approach is holistic. I look at your body, mind, and spirit through multiple lenses: Ayurvedic, psychological, energetic. While the healing itself is energetic, it’s naturally informed by everything I’ve spent so many years studying and practicing.

I’m also walking this path myself. I've searched for healing across modalities because I've needed it. I've dealt with injuries, health conditions, burnout, and the exhaustion that comes from giving too much of yourself away. I know what it's like to feel disconnected from your own body, energy, sense of self. I know what it takes to begin to find your way back to yourself, and I continue to learn and practice.

When you work with me, you're not working with someone who's figured it all out. You're working with someone who’s imperfect, deeply curious, and enthusiastic, who’s walking alongside you.

Seeing through many lenses

I live on a small farm with my husband where I tend to a small orchard and gardens, and care for the animals who have found their way to us through various avenues. This is something we happened into bit by bit (i.e., could you please take care of this goat?) and now we’re fully immersed in a homesteading journey. I’ve been surprised and happy to discover how it has become part of how I stay grounded and how much it helps me be in the present moment.

Healing can happen in the natural rhythm of your days. The way you nourish yourself. The moments you choose to pause and breathe. Some of my most peaceful moments ever have been during a rainstorm, standing in our horse Ellie’s stall, looking out at the rain together, listening to it fall on the roof above us, and hearing her breathe next to me.

I bring this practiced groundedness to my sessions. We will work with energy. And we can also talk about what you're eating, how you're sleeping, and what small shifts you can make today that will ripple out into real, lasting change.

Grounded in the everyday

Honestly, this work has something to offer just about everyone. I wish everyone were interested in it because I have personally found it to be so supportive and transformative.

That said, I do find myself working more with women than with men, and I have a special interest in women’s health, so that’s where some of my studies have been focused.

In general, the best fit for this kind of work is someone who is curious about and open to the idea that there are many ways to heal.

I also love working with animals. I’ve found that they can benefit greatly from this work, and I’m always honored to have the opportunity to help them.
