I came into my life’s calling as a healer after a career as an Opera Singer that began as a young child with daily lessons from my father, later receiving a Bachelor and Master’s in Music and going on to perform internationally. As a singer, the body is the instrument and thus I cultivated my mind and body in all the ways I could, practicing lifestyle medicine from a very early age to support my voice. At some point in my career, I realized I was meant to do something more, but I did not know what that was. I fell back on my health practices, believing in being as healthy as I could in order to make the best decision. I realized that being healthy is the key to our best lives and steered me towards my decision to become a healer. I always had very intuitive hands and would trade massages before going on stage, noticing how it improved my performance. After taking an intensive Thai Yoga Massage course, I knew I was meant to heal with my hands, but also wanted to do more and decided to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy, knowing that under this umbrella I could heal in many ways. My first job was in an integrative private practice that hired me because of my Yoga Teacher Training background. I went on to study various therapeutic yoga practices and incorporated yoga and meditation with my patients. As a student, I interned at a pelvic floor clinic, which allowed me to start my career with a specialization in pelvic floor health which is something I have since loved and feel honored to be a safe and nurturing healing source for so many men and women in uncomfortable and vulnerable states of health with such intimate parts of their lives. I went on to study many different manual therapies and gravitated towards more subtle and holistic techniques like Visceral Manipulation, Craniosacral Therapy and Holistic Pelvic Care. As a result of a personal healing crisis, I went into deep self study along with some trainings in functional medicine to help heal myself and also led me into the world of alternative healing and energy medicine. I was part of a 2 year professional training in Syntara Systems Energy Awareness under Gitanjali Hemp and began incorporating my voice, energy healing as well as functional medicine into my sessions. I now have 9 years of experience as a physical therapist and combine all of my skills and knowledge with each client, using my intuition to offer whatever tool is useful given where they are. I am passionate about health and live by my belief that the path to highest health is the path to our highest self. No matter what we are doing in life, our health is what will support us to do our best, and by doing our best in all the various ways to be as healthy as we can, we can create the foundation for living to our fullest degree available. I have been walking the path towards my highest health and am driven forward by the knowing that it is the path to my highest self and part of my life's purpose is to shepherd those who feel called to follow the path I have laid. What I have learned through my own healing journey is that health and wellbeing is multifactorial and involves exploring many modalities, listening to what resonates and fine tuning. I wish to be a resource for those that feel resonance and feel my experience and combinations of modalities can help guide them to their highest expression and highest health available to them at this time. I lovingly invite you to check in with your inner knowing and if you feel that resonance, it would be my honor to help guide and support you on your path to highest self.
