For more than three decades, I have been on a journey of listening to the body.

My path into healing began with massage therapy in 1998 and continued to evolve through nursing, CranioSacral Therapy, Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), Reiki, vibrational sound healing, breathwork, lymphatic work, intuitive healing, and personal growth. Each modality has taught me something different about the human experience—but more importantly, each has taught me to listen more deeply.

CranioSacral Therapy became a natural continuation of that journey.

What draws me so deeply to the Upledger approach is its profound respect for the body's own intelligence. I don't believe we always need to do more to the body. Sometimes we need to become quiet enough to listen to what the body is already communicating.

As an RTT practitioner, I have also developed a deep appreciation for the connection between our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, experiences, and the way we move through life in our bodies. This understanding has strengthened my belief that true healing can be multidimensional—physical, emotional, mental, and deeply personal.

In a CranioSacral session, I bring a gentle, grounded presence and create space for the client's system to unfold in its own way. I am not there to force an outcome. I am there to listen, to notice, and to support the body's innate capacity for balance and change.

My background as both a massage therapist and a nurse has given me a deep appreciation for anatomy, physiology, and the many ways the body can express what it is experiencing. My work with RTT has given me another lens through which to understand the stories, beliefs, and experiences that can shape how we experience ourselves.

My years studying complementary healing approaches have taught me to appreciate the subtle layers of a person's experience—the connection between body, mind, emotions, breath, and our sense of being at home within ourselves.

I believe the body has a story.

Sometimes that story is held in tension. Sometimes it is expressed through sensation, movement, breath, or emotion. And sometimes the body simply needs a safe place to be heard.

That is what I hope to offer my clients: a place to slow down, reconnect, and listen inward.

My work is deeply rooted in presence. I approach each person without judgment and without the expectation that their healing should look a certain way. Every nervous system, every body, and every life experience is different. I honor that individuality.

After decades of working with people, I have come to understand that healing is rarely about becoming someone different. Often, it is about reconnecting with the part of ourselves that has always known how to move toward greater balance.

CranioSacral Therapy has given me another beautiful way to support that process.

I feel honored every time someone trusts me enough to allow me into their healing space. My intention is to meet each person exactly where they are, listen deeply, and create the conditions where their own innate wisdom can be heard.
