About

For as long as I can remember I have been able to feel physical and emotional elements of those around me. I would give all I had to help anyone in pain or distress. However, the more I gave of myself to help them, the more I began to absorb pain from others until I became very ill myself. 

During childhood this illness began with frequent colds and stomach aches which progressed to ulcers, repeated bouts with strep and sinus infections. Additionally, I struggled with the weight of anxiety and depression. By the time I entered my teenage years, my body really began to break down; I developed severe chronic pain and became physically and emotionally exhausted. After years of doctor visits and testing, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and began a treatment plan to manage my symptoms. For years, I found very little relief from the numerous medications I was given, in fact they often times made me feel worse. It wasn’t until I began a treatment involving manual therapy that I finally experienced a positive change. 

As I found my path to wellness in holistic care, I felt the benefits of complementary therapies which in turn re-ignited my passion for helping others. With guidance from some amazing practitioners, I learned that it was possible to use the gift of empathy to help those in need, not by over-extending myself but by awakening the innate healing potential in others. This newfound knowledge and wellness allowed me to shed my skin and begin a journey to becoming the therapist I am today.
