My Background
I discovered energy work quite unexpectedly.
In 2014, I was living in Portland, Oregon and working as a Registered Nurse in a busy hospital emergency department. Around that time, I began experiencing mysterious physical symptoms that included over a dozen severe allergies and sensitivities, numbness and weakness in my legs, debilitating migraines, and unrelenting fatigue. I consulted many conventional doctors and specialists who could not confirm a diagnosis, but prescribed medications to mask symptoms. Needless to say, my health continued to decline.
​
It was through looking for answers to my own recovery that I came across the profound and powerful world of Energy Medicine. This umbrella term encompasses a broad spectrum of modalities which harness our innate healing power by balancing the energetic systems of the body. The methods I offer in my practice allowed me to get my life back. Not the life I had before illness, but one beyond what I could have imagined possible. I discovered that the "side-effect" of energy medicine is that in addition to healing my body, it fostered healing in every other area of my being...mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It rekindled a love of life. It revealed gifts of presence and intuition. It sparked a passion to help others overcome their challenges, connect to their authenticity, and fall in love with life again.
If you are ready to clear the root causes of your difficulties, create meaningful and lasting change, and ultimately live a deeper and richer life, reach out. I would love to hear from you!

My Philosophy
"Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place."
~Paul Coelho
Like the sun, our inner light is always shining brightly.
However, due to challenging life experiences we unwittingly accumulate clouds that obscure our light. These clouds are negative, emotional baggage that we carry with us. If we could physically see these clouds, we might all look like the Peanuts character, Pig Pen with the dust and dirt of our past swirling around us in a fog. It would be easy then to see how our failures years ago, for example, could be clouding the light of our true potential today.
Each of our emotions has a particular vibrational frequency. If you look at the chart below, you can see that the emotions with the lowest frequencies are guilt and shame. The emotions with the highest frequencies are peace, joy, gratitude, and love. The high frequencies are what make up our inner light, our true, inherent nature. The low frequencies are what make up the clouds of emotional baggage that obscure our light and keep us disconnected from our true selves.
​
Lower vibrational energies not only make us feel bad mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, but they also contribute to pain and illness. Our bodies thrive at higher frequencies where our energetic channels are open and flowing freely. It is when our channels are restricted by these lower frequencies that our body is vulnerable to breakdown. In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is understood that a disruption in our Chi or life force energy precedes disease. By clearing these energetic pathways, we create the environment for our bodies to heal and thrive.
​
If you find you're not resonating at the level you want, it is very likely having a negative impact on your life, health, career, and/or relationships. So, if there was an ultimate objective, it might be to release as many of these clouds as possible, thereby raising your vibration, and letting your light shine. For this is when the magic happens! This is when you experience boundless, positive changes unfolding naturally and effortlessly.
When you change your energy, you change your life.
