So regardless of how this is manifesting itself for you (headaches, neck/shoulder tension, back pain, insomnia, anxiety/depression, digestive issues, weight issues, menstrual issues, menopausal issues) she can help.

My body and I have not always been friends. I was brought to this line of work from a place you may find yourself in now, out of touch with myself. I’ve lived with chronic anxiety my entire life, ignoring exhaustion, dizziness and pain. Unsure what I really wanted or who I really was I put my needs last and prioritized leading my life with my brain.

It took me until my late twenties to understand that all along my body was trying to guide me towards freedom and health. I just didn’t know how to listen.

Stepping into Mind-Body and Functional Medicine, I became passionate about embodied healing work. Over the years, what I’ve come to know is that our bodies are brilliant and no matter where you are on your path, you are not broken. Whatever you are experiencing makes sense, and all you need is a sense of direction and a roadmap to healing.
