ABOUT

My story:

I've been a seeker all my life.  So many questions about the unseen world, and about healing.  About how people heal, about what exists beyond our 6 senses.  I had a fascination with all things mystical.  I also had a fascination with movement and, as a child, tried to teach myself how to dance and spin on ice skates, having grown up in a Canadian city where everything froze in the winter.

I now help people heal by working with the energetics of health and healing.  I received Shamanic training and certification from the Four Winds Society as an Advanced Master Practitioner of Energy Medicine.  I am also certified as a Reiki Level 2 Practitioner.  Energy healing is now the focus of my practice, helping people experience mental, emotional, and physical health and wellbeing. 

Earlier on, I studied dance as a teenager and later joined a small modern dance company, where I stayed for several years.  I thought seriously about a career in helping people heal, and began my journey as a Practitioner of Healing Arts after graduating from the Physical Therapy program at California State University, Northridge.  I was later awarded my degree as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, having completed graduate studies at Utica College in New York. 

My approach to healing is holistic, incorporating teachings of science, my knowledge of energetic and human physical anatomy, my intuition, and my skills as a movement specialist.

I say movement specialist because, at its core, that is what the work of Physical Therapy is all about.  As a dancer, I explored the ways the human body can move through the world.  I understand the power of movement to create physical change and healing.  Move your body, shift your energy, find joy and healing.

I'm certified in Pilates and have taught aerobics classes, dance aerobics classes, kinesiology for dancers in the Dance Program at Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in Los Angeles, CA.  I currently teach dance conditioning classes at LMU.  I also educate the dancers about injury risk and prevention and nutrition, and help them recover if they have been injured.

As a seeker, Energy Medicine Practitioner, teacher, and movement specialist, I continue to seek, learn, and refine my skills and my understanding of healing.  I am humbled to help.
