My Roles: Teacher, Guide, Coach, Ally, Healing Facilitator & Light Bearer

Recognizing and seeing connections is in my nature.​ Often, we need that in healing ~ a medically trained, science-loving, objective, practical perspective combined with nature-inspired wisdom, creativity, compassion, & intuitive ways of knowing ~ calling upon both brain hemispheres as well as other organs of intelligence, including the heart and gut. ​

What I Do

As your teacher, guide, coach, ally, healing facilitator, & light bearer, I walk alongside you on your journey of healing and self-discovery. I offer whole person-centered care and empower you to find the answers within yourself, guiding you to reconnect with your body, mind, and spirit. I can reflect back what you may deeply already know​ but may not have words for​ yet. Often, I simply need to hold the space, witness, and watch you​r discovery of what you know is true for you.

Healing is about transcendence — moving beyond suffering, limitations, and the stories we tell ourselves. Many definitions include “making whole again.” I believe healing is not about "fixing" but about remembering that you are already whole — even on the most imperfect days.

I help people remember their light and recognize their innate ability to heal. We will shine light into places that may have been hidden, but always in a safe healing environment where we first build a solid, sacred foundation.

A Holistic Approach to Healing

I value sustainability, whether with wellness approaches or in teaching others to live more kindly and sustainably for themselves and planet Earth. They often end up being a mutually supportive. Our society has gotten so out of balance with the rest of nature, and I believe it is a root cause of illness and suffering ~ forgetting that we are a part of nature, not separate from it.

Through my services, experience, and holistic healing arts, we work together to release obstacles that stand between you and your true essence. Whether it’s an educational lesson in what an eosinophil is and why they matter, empowerment & guidance on nutrition & eating for wellness, balancing your chakras, healing ancestral wounds, connecting you to your animal or plant spirit allies, soul retrieval, or integrating somatic embodiment and dance, I walk with you through it all.

Empowering You to Live Your Best Life

I believe that the answers to your healing journey ~ your journey home ~ are within you. My job is to empower you with the tools, knowledge, and guidance you need to take charge of your life. My work is deeply rooted in whole person-centered care, providing you with personalized healing and wellness support. Whether we are addressing chronic stress, burnout, or spiritual wellness, you have access to your own healing process.

A little more about me…

• I am a Virgo sun, Virgo rising and Pisces Moon

• I love dancing, especially outside. It brings me so much joy and connection. For me, dancing is expression, therapy, release, a blessing, a prayer, ceremony, and activism of joy, freedom and expression.

• I served in Peace Corps Morocco from 2007-2009, assigned to a village in the Middle Atlas Mountains, doing environmental education, health & wellness, youth & women’s empowerment, and cultural immersion & connection.  No English was spoken, and I learned Moroccan Arabic, Berber (Tamazight), and the many unspoken ways of communication.  

• I’ve lived and learned in many places — from my roots in Globe, AZ, to Northern Minnesota, NW Washington, Morocco, Elko, NV, the Rogue Valley of OR, Taos, NM, and now Spearfish, SD. These diverse experiences have shaped my deep respect for the land, people, and cultures I encounter. I know what it’s like to transition, adapt, and find belonging, and I bring these perspectives to my work. I now know that “home” is a felt sense, rather than a place. As Brandi Carlile sings, “Wherever is your heart, I call home.”

• I fought forest fires for six fire seasons, serving on Minnesota fire crews as well as the Prineville Hotshots.  

• I love looking for and finding four-leafed clovers. I have found 7 ​four-leaf clovers in a row, 3 different times!!!
