About Me:

I am a Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) - Board Certified with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP).

- PhD in Holistic Therapies
- Master of Science degree in Holistic Therapies
- Certified Usui Reiki Master-Teacher (RMT)
- Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (CHT)
- Member of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI)
- Member of the Association of Ethical & Professional Hypnotherapists
- Member of the Association for Humanistic Psychology (AHP)
- Member of the International Massage Association (IMA)
- Registered with the International Natural Healers Association (INHA)
- Certified practitioner of Bodywork for the Childbearing Year®

One of my roles as a Holistic Health Practitioner is to help discover the root cause of health concerns and to assist the body back to its natural state of homeostasis - the ideal balance between all major parts of our being.


As humans, we are multi-dimensional in nature. We operate from physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions simultaneously. For true health to occur, we must learn how all these dimensions interact and affect our overall health. Healing comes from within. But healing can be initiated from an outside source. My approach to well-being incorporates the use of natural and complementary modalities to assist people in achieving their personal health goals.
 

Being respectful of the Earth and its natural resources, my goal is to leave the slightest footprint possible on the planet; while at the same time, making a lasting impression on its inhabitants - one that is positive, uplifting, constructive, and healing. I am not aligned with a particular religion or tradition. I am both a teacher and a student of purposeful living.

In September of 2006 I, along with a handful of other women healers had the privilege to sit at the feet of a female Shaman from Olympia, Wisconsin - Dena Eakles. One of the most impactful things she said to us that evening was:


Choice, not chance, creates destiny. To not make a choice, is in fact a choice, to let fate bite you in the butt.”


To learn more about Dena's forty-acre rustic retreat - Echo Valley Farm - please visit her website at http://www.echovalleyfarmhealing.com/

One last, perhaps interesting note … by intent we have not had a television for over 28 years. Now that's bliss.
