ABOUT ME

My journey into healing service has been profoundly shaped by my experiences with childhood and birth trauma. Since 2001 I have dedicated myself to helping individuals through the practice of Reiki. I became a birth and postpartum doula in 2014. As part of supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, birth and postpartum I dove into extensive study of women’s functional medicine and nutrition. This work, combined with the practices of energy work, including Reiki and Shamanism, provide a holistic approach that effectively releases past trauma, rebalances, alleviates fear, and removes anxiety around life’s challenges.

As a Master Reiki practitioner, I’ve studied and taught Reiki with William Rand, the originator of the Usui/Tibetan system of Reiki which he developed in 1989.  I’ve studied Shamanism with Dr. Alberto Villoldo of the Four Winds Society.  I have been trained in  Functional Medicine and Herbalism with Aviva Romm, Functional Medicine MD & Certified Family Physician, Midwife, Herbalist, and writer.

I have trained with Andrew Weil, MD, Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, Mark Hyman, MD, founder of UltraWellness Center, and David Wolfe, raw food teacher and nutrition expert. I’ve studied meditation and Buddhism with Jack Kornfield, Thich Nhat Hanh and Norman Fischer of the San Francisco Zen Center. I am a certified birth trauma coach and birth doula and have attended hundreds of births.
