There has always been a part of me that knew there was MORE...
​
​My journey into healing began on a farm in Iowa.  My oldest sister had moved to Chicago when I was 7 years old.  She brought home fascinating people and ideas that were new and exciting.  I was exposed to numerous cultures and beliefs that opened my young mind to possibilities far beyond the world I knew.

My curiosity was piqued and that curiosity became a lifelong calling...

I studied chemical engineering at Iowa State University and developed an appreciation for science, systems and the inner workings of things. I also felt drawn to questions that didn't have formulaic answers:

How do our experiences and history shape us?
Why do we repeat patterns that we consciously want to change?
What supports people to transform, to heal, to become more fully themselves?  

I followed that calling and attended the Evergreen School of Healing Arts, in Evergreen, Colorado, where I received a broad education in bodywork, energy work, nutrition and esoteric approaches to healing.  My education and experience continued to unfold across numerous and diverse disciplines and traditions.

I've earned certifications and completed extensive training in hypnotherapy, NLP, breathwork, somatic healing, HypnoBirthing, energy healing and other mind-body approaches.  My learning also took me to varied, beautiful locales- to Mexico to study with curanderos, to Hawaii to work extensively with Kahunas, and to Ireland to learn with Druid priests.

There is always another possibility.

I'm a breathwork teacher, a hypnotherapist, and a wellness visionary. I enjoy using a "science-meets-soul" approach. I craft life-changing courses and presentations, and guide clients through deep emotional healing. I blend ancient wisdom with practical tools, while remaining grounded, intentional and focused on healing body, mind and soul. I aim to help people remember who they are.

In 2017, my life changed in a way I could never have imagined.  I became very ill and was diagnosed with a serious autoimmune disease.  I spent a considerable amount of time in the hospital, and underwent chemotherapy and other major medical procedures.

Even after I came home, my journey back to health was not complete...
​
​It took a few years of patience, healing and deep inner work before I felt like myself again;  in fact, I never looked at life the same way again.

During those months and years of recovery, I spent much time on inner reflection - what truly mattered, what do I really want, and what am I here to do?  I realized I didn't want to simply help people feel better, I wanted to help people feel empowered in their own lives

I want to help people see beyond their fear, patterns and old programming and move forward with clarity and passion, I want to help people discover and learn to draw upon their innate resources, the authentic self that they were born to express in this world.

That was a turning point for me.  It taught me that transformation isn't always about changing things on the outside, it begins by  changing the way we see ourselves, and what we can conceive of as possible.

Now, I can bring everything I learned through decades of work with the body, mind, breath and human potential to help others create their own turning point - their point of inner transformation.
