"All that you touch you change.
All that you change, changes you."
Octavia E. Butler
Holistic wellness is my passion - I see it as the foundation for continuous positive change in my personal life, community, and the environment. I am a life-long learner with a deep love for the physiological and psychological aspects of cognition - the mind-body influence on healing and development. I receive alignment, freedom and energy through a daily Reiki, massage, yoga and meditation practice, dance, hiking and a serene home environment full of global treasures and plants.
​
Personally, and professionally, I connect with people on their healing and growth journeys. My work is heart-centered, empowering others and celebrating life through creativity and collaboration. By seeing, hearing, and challenging people, I guide them to break free from resistance and to recognize the possibilities of intentional action.
I have found that it is by removing power dynamics and embracing vulnerability, that the courage to change is revealed. By engaging in inclusive learning communities powerful growth occurs. I look forward to helping you / your community uncover your powerful introspective, innovative, and inspiring potential, to align, ground and sustain your desired changes.
