About Me

Growing up, my dream was to be a teacher. In 2006, I stepped into my role as a public school teacher, where I served the community for 15 years as a Certified Teacher of Language Arts & Literature, Reading, and Writing.  

Yet, my deeper dream to practice and teach holistic healing led me to become a Reiki I & II practitioner, and eventually a Reiki Master Teacher, through my mentor, Elsie Kerns.

Broadening my scope of passion and knowledge even further, I finally decided to do the deep dive into Shamanic healing practices and became a Certified Master Practitioner of Shamanic Energy Medicine through the Four Winds Light Body School with Alberto Villoldo and Marcela Lobos embodying the Rites of The Q’ero lineage. 

I am a Medicine Woman and Earthkeeper.

After several inquiries about how I stepped into my work in the field of energy medicine and holistic wellness as a practitioner and teacher, I figured I would share a small part, let’s call it the outline of my story here, for those who are interested in learning more. I have been studying, learning, and practicing energy medicine for 34 years. I have learned from and apprenticed under many different teachers, healers, and plants, all who have inspired me to integrate these unique parts of myself and share them with others. I have been building my skill set for decades and continue to expand my practices in order to be able to serve humanity in diversified ways. Acknowledging I am always a student.

Yes, I also worked in a salon and as an independent contractor doing manicures, pedicures, and reflexology.  Yes, I was a restaurant manager and took part in our family business. Yes, I was a public school teacher. All of these roles from my past have played their part in shaping who I am today. It’s all part of the journey. And all along the way, the one thread that tied it all together was my continued exploration and training in the healing arts. It has fueled everything I have ever done. I love to teach. I am passionate about helping others work through their challenges, manage stress and anxiety, reawaken their true passions, and expand into their greatest selves. Empowerment. Healing. Expansion. 
I offer several types of private sessions using energy medicine as the catalyst for change. 
Additionally, I host classes, workshops, and events both publicly and privately. 
This is what I do. I have been asked, “When do you find time to do all this? What about your other job?”
This is my job. Yet it is so much more than that. It is a passion, a calling, and a gift. Although it certainly doesn’t feel like work! I left my career as a public school teacher a few years ago to step into my practice full time. I devote my time and energy to serving others, organizing, planning, advertising, hosting, and teaching classes and events, in addition to seeing my clients privately.

I offer both in-person and online private sessions. Each healing session is uniquely tailored to my client’s individual needs. My mission is to serve humanity, creating a sacred space for personal transformation on the spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical levels.  

Continuing to integrate my skills in the realm of Language Arts,  I offer academic tutoring, along with private academic, educational advisement sessions.  Journaling and writing workshops are brought forward with the intention to guide others to release negative beliefs, set clear intentions, and engage calming mindfulness.
