I love working with people! It is deeply fulfilling to assist people towards states of greater health and freedom, both physically and psycho-emotionally. I truly enjoy providing a safe and nurturing atmosphere in which people can reduce or resolve physical, emotional and spiritual pain as a hypnotherapist and massage therapist for overall health. My interest in holistic healing began as a child after my mother introduced me to to different kinds of alternative healing methods. When I was eight years old I observed while both my mother and brother received traditional healing ceremonies in a mud packed Hogan (a circular Navajo/Dine structure used either as a living space or for ceremonies) from an elderly medicine man who spoke only Navajo in Northern Arizona. From the time I was ten I received reflexology sessions from one of my mother's friends to help relieve migraines. During ballet and modern dance training in high school and college, I received massages occasionally to help relieve tired aching muscles. After graduating from UCLA in 1994 with a B.A. in World Arts and Cultures: Concentration in Dance, I decided to attend massage school and discovered I could foster my love of working with the body in a different yet complimentary pathway to dance. This truly opened up the worlds of holistic and energetic healing for me.
