  I am a HolyFire®Karuna Reiki Master & Teacher, Certified Sound Healer, Mindfulness Coach, Life Coach and Florida Licensed Massage Therapist. 

I began my healing journey in 2011 during a series of major life events including losing a family member to suicide, closing my business, leaving the church I spent all of my life in, divorce and relocating first to Colorado, then to Florida. My healing journey was propelled forward after attending The Haven Retreat for women who were sexually abused as children. Subsequently I volunteered with organizations that support parents in awareness of how to protect their children, offer a safe recovery for victims of sex trafficking and other trauma support related efforts. It was through my own desire for healing that I uncovered my gifts and passion for serving others on a deeper level. All the while I was seeking out classes, courses, mentors and practices to support my own healing. 

I had been a hairstylist for 28 years and in In 2017 I took my first Reiki class where I realized that I had been an energy healer my entire life and I was so grateful to learn that I could be intentional about it. I then decided to attend Massage Therapy School and graduated in 2019. I was introduced to sound healing on the beach on the Gulf of Mexico by a beautiful soul who is one of the many mentors I am grateful to have.

I relocated back to my hometown in the Adirondacks in the fall of 2022 and now I am here to live on purpose serving you with my gifts.
