| Practice Information |
| I am a practitioner and teacher of Integrative and Holistic Healing, Wellness, and Injury Prevention for 14 years. I am trained to work with individuals as young as newborn age throughout the life cycle. I have specialized training in working with infants, children and their families, pre/postnatal women, individuals healing through cancer on land and in the water. I have developed a unique approach to healing and wellness that unites the science of physical therapy with yoga therapy, belly dance, creative movement, energy medicine, breath training, healing through gentle bio-energetic breathwork, massage, aromatherapy, aquatic therapy, shamanic healing methods, and sound healing/vibrational medicine. I teach highly effective, evidence-based and personalized healing and wellness approaches that are easy to learn so my clients may benefit maximally with minimal effort to LIVE THEIR LIVES TO THE FULLEST. I align with Divine Source during our sessions, so that together we may co-create solutions for your healing and wellness needs. |
