My journey with healing and natural health began with a series of personal tragedies that left me very ill, severely depressed, and just plain miserable. After the birth of my daughter, and her father's subsequent death -- I became determined to heal mentally and physically, before my daughter became an orphan. It took many years, countless hours, and bumps in the road, but now I've become a happy, healthy, positive person and have created a beautiful life following my heart.

During all this self-work, I realized that no one can heal one part of themselves, and ignore the others. All levels of the body-mind-soul need to be addressed. I also discovered first hand that most (if not all) physical ailments have an emotional root. This led me to massage school in 2007 to learn more about this body-mind link, and how to heal through it. During this time, I also completed advanced levels of Reiki, naturopathy, and mediation trainings.

After working with clients using massage and energy work, I soon knew something was missing. All along I had studied personal development and psychology, and it occurred to me maybe combining both physical and emotional/mental was the answer. I learned to treat the root of the problem, not just symptoms. This made a world of difference and soon I got more training (coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming), going on to learn many other techniques and systems as well. I'm proud to be a perpetual student.

All of these experiences and training melded together to form a unique style. Now my life is helping people transform themselves and their lives. This has been an incredible journey, and there's nothing better than watching someone totally heal and blossom before your eyes, knowing you helped them get there.
