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 supporting individuals as an energy medicine practitioner, birth doula, birth trauma coach, childbirth educator, meditation guide, family mediator, nutrition coach, functional medicine coach, shaman and herbalist.

I am a certified Master Practitioner of Energy Medicine, having trained with The Four Winds Society.  I am also a certified Master Reiki practitioner, and have studied and taught Reiki with William Rand, the originator of the Usui/Tibetan system of Reiki which he developed in 1989.  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. I initially started my education journey as a mediator, receiving my JD at Hastings School of Law in San Francisco.
