I’ve been on a healing path for 25+years and have learned so much that it is impossible to not share it with you!

Although I am trained in traditional western medicine, I realized early on that what is missing is an awareness of the need to CREATE the conditions that ALLOW healing! We are not machines and we are not broken. Everything is interconnected and we each have more power that we know.

We have simply lost touch with our power, our inner healing capacity, having essentially given it away to the “authorities” while losing touch with our deepest truest selves.

There is SO much we can do to stay well and create optimal health.

In traditional Chinese Medicine and most ancient wisdom traditions, it is known that Stuck Energy causes Dis-Ease. Sometimes discomfort, sometimes actual physical disease.

The antidote to that is to re-establish FLOW: to no longer hold back; to touch and feel and let go and HEAL.

This is Heart work❣️

It has been a long journey for me but I have come into viscerally knowing and trusting that the HEART is more wise and true than the mind. The electromagnetic field of the heart is far larger and more expansive that that of the mind. We are electromagnetic beings.

I’ve learned through my healing work that when heart and mind are in balance and partnership, magic happens.

I call this foundational healing. It blends ancient wisdom and modern science to allow you to re-member wholeness.

And that is what I want to share with you to empower you in your own healing work💕🙏

My unique toolkit and philosophy:

I’ve always had a unique way of seeing to the root of things and have, through my own healing work, found many tools to bring myself into greater balance and ease.

Some of those tools are:

  • My western medical training

  • 25 years of practicing/16 years of teaching Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction

  • Mindful energy yoga

  • Mindful energy balancing /Eden Energy Medicine

  • Ayurveda and mindful seasonal cooking

  • Yoga Nidra for deep rest to create the essential conditions for healing and balance

  • My ability to integrate Western neuroscience/psychology/physiology with ancient wisdom and energy work

  • Trauma work -both traditional and energetic.I understand that trauma is stored in the body not in the cognitive mind. This unique blend of tools can help unearth blocks and heal without re-traumatizing.

I personally understand and have experienced that the hypervigilance of having and then seeking to heal a chronic disease does NOT lead to a state that allows healing. In many ways that desperate (though totally understandable and well-meaning) searching is actually an impediment to healing.

In response to that, I’ve learned how essential it is to calm the nervous system to allow the body to access all its resources to heal.

To learn to BE, rather that DO; and then, as my mentor Jon Kabat-Zinn said: “To let the DOING come from the BEING”

I know all of this first hand, having worked with trauma and chronic headaches for 20+ years.

All of these years of work have profoundly changed my life for the better, and I want to share them with YOU

** the usual necessary disclaimer**

This work is NOT a substitute for traditional mental, physical or emotional health care but a useful and powerful adjunct. Although I am neither a trained therapist nor a practicing physician, I believe that the self-empowering tools I can share with you will enhance any work you are doing with more traditional healers and would welcome any collaboration with your health care team.

That said, the work that we do together is sacred to me and will not be shared with other practitioners/people without your permission.

The western trained/left brained part of me explains this work as balancing the left and right hemispheres of the brain; of balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Of calming the stress response and shifting resources back toward healing, understanding the neurophysiology of stress, and the power of the vagus nerve.

The eastern/right sided part of me knows that energy must flow and that stuck energy causes dis-ease or disease. That energy forms patterns and can be repatterned and that there is much that YOU can do to access that inner healing power. That we can work experientially with the nervous system and energy body because energy follows attention and how you think affects everything, including which genes are turned on or off! (the science of epigenetic agrees😍)

I have a unique skillset and perspective and what I have learned and am offering feels like a beautiful balance between the two.

When integrated and balanced, healing naturally occurs.

This is foundational healing:

Re-membering and embodying wholeness
