 I seek to balance motherhood with a livelihood supporting clients with my hands, offering expertise in myofascial release, hands-on subtle energy techniques, therapeutic presence, and an impeccable ethical standard.  I have long been interested in developing the sensory system for self-healing and releasing obstacles to a natural balance of structure, energy flow, fluid exchange, and spiritual connectedness.

Summary of My Qualifications

Over 15 years of experience with diverse clients including ages 7 to 85, women and men, chronically ill or in-pain, wellness, first-time receivers, regular clients (8+ years), willing “seekers”, those uninterested in mind-body-spirit connectedness, a great variety of diagnoses and standard treatment choices, those reticent to seek medical treatments, and many more. I have studied and learned from clients, teachers and fellow students about touching, listening, and responding in the moment.
