About

I am a Registered Nurse and CranioSacral therapist with 13 years of experience in healthcare.  In my personal search for healing, I found CranioSacral therapy and it helped me immensely after seeking many other modalities and practitioners for chronic issues. It was essentially love at first touch!  I fell in love with CranioSacral therapy, and decided I must learn it, so that I could understand the science behind it, and help clients facilitate their body’s innate healing.   

My intention is to provide a safe enough and professional environment where clients from any background can experience greater ease, balance, and resilience in their bodies. By combining my medical background with a holistic perspective, I aim to support each individual in achieving improved health and well-being.
