By blending Divine Guidance, Intuition and Science, I facilitate harmony between your Body, Mind and Spirit connections. I believe that Gratitude is the first step on the “PATH” to a more peaceful and happier life.
My Background
In addition to earning a B.S. with Highest Honors in Natural Healing & Herbology, I am a Nationally Board Certified Massage & Bodywork Therapist. I have studied with and am guided by Master teachers, Innovative Thinkers, Doctors and Scientists in this realm and beyond.
To see a list of the more than 100 modalities/techniques I’m trained in click here. My highly sensitive intuition, advanced training and years of experience are why you receive individualized, one-of-a-kind therapeutic coaching sessions.
It is through Divine Guidance that my unique method and knowledge transform into processes that help you heal your own personal wounds or traumas and transmute them into a foundation for a happy and fulfilled life.
I’ll facilitate you through a process to reclaim your power, heal your heart and soul and shift into a more conscious and joyful life.
I surround the process with unconditional love. As a result of this thoughtful body, mind & spirit integration I will facilitate your self-discovery of your passion and purpose and teach you how to be open to Divine Guidance & to trust your own Intuition.
My Own Journey and Why I Can Help You:
I’ve had my own share of challenges in this life. I was sexually abused for 6yrs of my childhood. In addition, my extended family that I practically lived with was cruel and abusive both emotionally and verbally. During this time my “True Authentic Self, a very happy little girl” was sent into hiding in order to survive. This derailment caused me to experience many lows and struggles because I couldn’t seem to find the happiness that I once knew or deserved. As a result, my journey included many, many “opportunities to grow”. So many sometimes, I thought, “Oh, great here comes another opportunity!” Even when life seemed good, I found it hard to truly enjoy because I feared what was coming next because my history had taught me to brace for the unexpected and that I couldn’t rely on anyone – not even myself sometimes.
In 1996 when I was 39, one moment caused me the greatest pain and crisis of my life and simultaneously provided me with my greatest opportunity to overcome, move through, heal and grow. I experienced a situation at work that triggered me into a PTSD acute episode coupled with depression and anxiety. This trifecta is a recipe for an all out breakdown!
This crisis set me on a path to answer the questions of – Who am I really?, Who was I before the abuse?, What was I meant to do? Why was I finding happiness in my relationship with my partner, but was so unhappy at a very deep level? Why did I have to experience certain pains? How could I find out and would it make a difference anyway??????
I tried every tool, technique and therapy to help me answer these questions and find joy, peace and happiness. It took years of trial and error, of making progress and then sliding backward to find my own personal key to heal my heart and soul.
Today I know that every unkind word, experience and encounter had its place in helping me become the person that I am today. And I really am grateful and happy with me. While I still encounter challenges that test my skills to stay happy, I am more fully aware and able to navigate life’s tests.
I believe that I’ve experienced many of the same things that you and my clients experience because, it’s God’s way of making sure that I “know” how to help someone move through their own blocks and pain. My clients often feel relief knowing that they’re not alone and that if I can do it so can they.
