I am a MindBody Medicine Specialist, Educator, Writer, and Researcher, with over 25 years in the field of Integrative Health and Energy Medicine.

My approach honors the interconnectedness of mind, body, and soul, combining evidence-based practices with timeless principles to provide personalized care that helps individuals rediscover balance and vitality.​
My Approach
As your guide and teacher, I draw from my AREAS OF EXPERTISE to help you deepen, grow, transform, and flourish as you navigate a deeper inquiry into your whole self, including the ways in which you influence and are influenced by the world around you. These are the three main tools I rely on:
​
-
CURIOSITY - I believe curiosity is one of the most powerful tools you possess for optimal well-being. When you are curious, your nervous system does some pretty amazing stuff, not least protect you against depression, anxiety, and even, believe it or not, things like indigestion. If you are able to be curious about your road to wellness, even when you are struggling or suffering, you can make huge inroads towards health and healing.
-
SCIENCE - My experience with true scientific methodology invites openness, curiosity, and unbiased exploration, all of which are the very mindsets required for optimal wellness. Being completely fascinated with the impact of food, eating, movement, and emotion on the structure and function of the nervous system, I put my investigative hat on and together you and I find your unique road to wellness.
-
SACRED - Exploring the Sacred, discovering what is meaningful and nourishing to the Soul, are essential components of wellness. When you practice cultivating the sacred, you are able to take the world in stride in greater love and compassion and mend/heal your body, mind, spirit, and soul.

Healing Unfolds in Both a Single Moment and Across a Lifetime
​I fully subscribe to the reality of immediate and spontaneous transformation, and I also know that the journey of wellbeing typically requires commitment and a gentle discipline. It takes roughly 60-90 days for rewired neural networks to begin firing together and solidify into new and lasting patterns of wellness. Because of this, I ask my client/students to commit to a 10-week unfolding, with our first session free of charge to make sure the journey feels simpatico and beneficial.
