What first drew you to this profession?

My healing journey with chronic pain/illness led me to a variety of holistic healing practices. After finding success, I wanted to help others find ways to heal themselves using the tools that helped me.

How is your work different from that of others in your profession?

My practice is a collaborative approach to healing that focuses on the body, mind and spirit connection. I have 14 years of experience and have helped people heal from a variety of conditions.

What should a patient/client expect from working with you?

We create a safe environment so that clients can feel comfortable to go within and heal. We form a plan to achieve the client’s goals and give the client the tools they need to succeed.

How is your practice evolving in the coming year?

I have a new qi gong for chronic pain certification course on October 7-8. Join our membership group called Gaia Centric Living where we teach people how to heal chronic pain and illness with nature.

What do you most want Natural Awakenings’ readers to know about you and your practice?

I empower people to take a holistic view of their health to become more connected to the natural way of life. I support people through their healing journeys to become the best version of themselves.
