My Story
I have always had a passion for health and I have been blessed to make health education my profession. I have the privilege of teaching amazing subjects such as mindfullness ans stress reduction, women’s health, research, statistics, integrative medicine, and other exciting topics. Over the years I have studied and trained to become more educated and skilled in Eastern modalities and practices.
After my first ZB session I KNEW I had found yet another passion and part of my life’s work and I began studying to certify as a Zero Balancing practitioner. The years I have spent studying this modality transformed my life. By balancing my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions my body could begin the journey of healing and obtaining wholeness and wellness.The art of surrender and acceptance are important. Change what you can and accept what you cannot. Value that you are unique. Speak your truth. Live your passions. Take the road less traveled and find something everyday for which you are grateful.
I would be honored to support your wellness journey by offering a safe and skilled touch based therapy, along with guidance and education, to help facilitate healing and transformation.

My Approach
My approach is to meet you where you are and connect. No judgement. Your body knows how to heal and find balance. Healing may mean better managing an autoimmune disorder, feeling less stressed, relaxing more, or receiving support during a difficult time. Healing may also mean finding yourself pain free, feeling more integrated, or being more structurally aligned. Health, healing, and wellness are different for each person. I listen, and with respect, work with you to reach the most optimal place for you at this time in your life.
