What drew you to this profession?

My journey began over 35 years ago when I became certified in a form of body-centered meditation that allowed me to move through my own anxiety with grace. I discovered how softly shifting our approach toward ourselves creates insight and healing.

How does your work differ from that of others in your profession? 

As a practitioner in the healing arts, everything I have ever learned effects how I work. I’m in a meditative state that allows me to follow the way of the person I’m with. I don’t follow a routine, I allow my whole being to “listen in” to the person on the table, allowing my intuition to guide my hands. Together with my client we discover what is needed in the moment.

What should someone expect from working with you?

Adults typically experience a physically connected meditation whereby the central nervous system is supported, alleviating stress, trauma and physical restrictions. CranioSacral Therapy is a hands-on way to assist the process of developing intimacy with parts of ourselves that, through stress or trauma, have become unconscious. It is a gentle method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the craniosacral system, comprising the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Releasing [such] restrictions enhances the functioning of the central nervous system, helping to eliminate pain and stress while strengthening the immune system.

What changes do you have planned for 2025?

In 2025, I will be offering one-hour sessions for children and adults. I will also be incorporating Polarity therapy.

Anything else our readers should know?

Clients are treated in a nonjudgmental and unconditionally loving, sacred space that creates safety, so you can unwind and connect deeply with yourself.
