I found reiki and intuitive energy healing while suffering from postpartum anxiety. In 2013 I graduated with my MA in Counseling Psychology, completing my internship 3 weeks before giving birth to my daughter. After a long and traumatic birth I felt elated and so full of love for this new being. But as the days passed I felt lost and unable to separate my emotions from my baby’s or anyone around me. It felt as if I had no layers of protection from the world, and my nervous system was struggling to make sense of it all. 

Synchronicity led me to find the healing I didn’t know I needed in energy medicine. I felt the effects immediately on a subtle level. But, the seed that was planted was growing something both gentle and powerful. I felt centered and expansive, and observed a discomfort that I found fascinating.

Healing takes time, but the process can be nourishing and informative every step of the way. Both my Intuitive Energy Healer and my Reiki Therapist became my teachers as I pursued these beautiful and effective healing modalities. I was drawn to the way they complemented what I learned in my Counseling program and how they intrinsically supported the human spirit.

In 2016 I had my second child. He arrived early, and after another long and complicated labor we spent a week in the hospital while he recovered in the NICU. I felt alone and afraid, but more prepared to tend to my nervous system’s needs. 

The past several years have held so much growth, destruction, healing, falling, rising… Including a challenging divorce, part-time single parenting, cancer that was caught early enough to be navigated with a hysterectomy, a devastating fire that burned through my town displacing me and my kids, choosing sobriety from alcohol and buying a home with my partner in a new town.  Keeping true to myself and finding ways to return to my center throughout it all was not always easy… and I did not always succeed – but, the act of coming back to integrity was a gift every time. The tools and techniques I acquired in energetic training, workshops, 1:1 work with my teachers and my own personal practice supported me and ultimately liberated me. 

Yoga and intuitive movement have been guiding threads for me as I navigated my own growth and transformation. Yoga has helped me to tap into certain truths hidden within my body and to metabolize them with more comfort and ease. Emotions and personal stories arise as I move on my mat, and I am able to pause with the sensations that come bubbling up and hold them with the tenderness and compassion that they deserve.  Yoga and energy work nourish the parts of ourselves we may have not been able to digest in the past.

My goal is to hold space for you to explore all parts of your being, to give you tools and techniques for self healing and align you with your most authentic self.
