I am also an avid gardener, passionate home chef, and dedicated to nurturing health and wellness. I’m a Kriya Massage Therapist, Master Herbalist, and Holistic Health Practitioner. As I sought healthier alternatives for my young family, I naturally gravitated towards learning about herbs. This passion led me to complete a Master Herbalist program in 2006, followed by a Holistic Health Practitioner program in 2008 at the Global College of Natural Medicine, where I studied nutrition, herbal healing, aromatherapy, and other alternative modalities for whole health. Today, I not only grow our food but also cultivate and wild harvest over 100 types of herbs, focusing on immune support, wound care, and culinary uses. I spend almost as much time in my kitchen as in my gardens. In 2020, I built a raised bed kitchen garden with a hoop house to extend the growing season, making it easy to add freshly cut herbs to whatever I’m cooking. I’ve also started a cottage garden for vegetables and some fruit, and my next project is creating a protected space for new fruit trees and bushes that are safe from wildlife. In 2009, while working as a receptionist at DoveStar Institute, I was exposed to various classes, including massage therapy. It began with just three Kriya Massage classes, but the more I learned and experienced massage, the more passionate I became about it. I was amazed by the difference I felt in my own body and the relief from the aches and pains I had grown accustomed to. This inspired me to continue a path where I could help others achieve that same level of healing. Since acquiring my massage license, I have continued my education by focusing on releasing muscles deep within the body, working with fascia, and finding ways to alleviate chronic pain and improve overall mobility. I am dedicated to facilitating the innate healing ability of each of my clients and plan to continue learning advanced techniques to perpetuate that process. My mission is to help improve my clients’ health and enhance their overall well-being.
