I am an occupational therapist with over 33 years of experience in healthcare, specializing in anxiety and stress management using a variety of techniques including craniosacral therapy.

Chronic shoulder pain.
Low back that just won’t calm down.
Appointments. Scans. “Everything looks normal.”
And yet… it still hurts.

Believe it or not, this is something I see often.
Pain isn’t always structural.
It can be nervous system overload.
It can be fascial restriction.
It can be unresolved patterns the body never fully processed.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed or unheard… you’re not alone.

Your pain deserves curiosity, not judgment.

If it’s 50 degrees this weekend, don’t stay inside.

Natural light helps regulate your circadian rhythm.

Fresh air supports deeper breathing.
Movement calms stress hormones.
Your nervous system isn’t meant to live under fluorescent lights.

Step outside. Even 10 minutes counts.

02/24/2026

If you’ve been feeling more triggered or emotional lately, you’re not alone. Before you try to think your way out of it, pause and bring your focus back into your body. Place your hand over your heart, close your eyes, and slow your breathing. This simple shift helps calm the nervous system and interrupts the spiral of negative thoughts. You don’t have to solve the story right away. Just reconnect with yourself and let your body settle. Even sixty seconds can change how you feel.

Feeling calm or even sleepy mid-day after drinking water?

It may not be low energy.

Hydration can stimulate the vagus nerve, which shifts the body from sympathetic mode (fight or flight) into parasympathetic mode (rest and digest). Mid-day is also when cortisol naturally declines.

If you’ve been operating in a heightened state all morning, that shift can feel like sudden fatigue.

Often, it is not dysfunction.
It is regulation.

Understanding the pattern is the first step toward building resilience.

02/19/2026

This is holistic occupational therapy.
It may look simple. Gentle hands. Quiet room. Slow pace.

But underneath that stillness, we are working with the nervous system.

I assess how your body is holding tension.
How your breathing is supporting or straining you.
How stress patterns are showing up physically.
How daily demands are shaping your posture and pain.

Using craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and guided awareness, we help your system shift out of protective patterns and into regulation.

This is not just relaxation.

It is skilled, hands-on work designed to improve resilience, reduce pain, and support how you function in everyday life.

The goal is long-term change, not temporary relief.

02/17/2026

Your breath is one of the most powerful pain management tools you have.

Intentional breathing helps calm the nervous system, reduce muscle tension and shift how your brain processes pain. When your body feels safe, pain often softens.

Breathing techniques are woven into every session so you leave feeling more regulated, grounded and in control of your symptoms.

02/13/2026

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about who you love.

It’s about how you treat yourself.
Your body has been carrying a lot.

Stress. Expectations. Responsibility.

What would it look like to meet yourself with the same compassion you give everyone else?

This weekend is a reminder that you deserve care too.

02/11/2026

You can be capable, responsible, and strong and still feel completely depleted.

Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic.

Sometimes it’s constant tension.
Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest.
A body that never truly relaxes.

In my work, we combine gentle hands-on therapy with education and coaching so your system can begin to settle. We slow things down. We listen. We identify what your body has been holding and create practical tools you can use beyond our sessions.

This isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about helping your body stop working so hard just to get through the day.

02/09/2026

Anxiety is not a personal failure.

It’s a learned response.

After decades in healthcare, one thing I see over and over is this: anxiety lives as much in the body as it does in the mind. Tight muscles, held breath, constant vigilance, difficulty relaxing even when things are “fine.”

In my work, we focus on understanding how your body responds to stress and teaching it new options. Through gentle bodywork, education, and coaching, you learn how to respond from a place of choice rather than overwhelm.

You don’t need to fight anxiety to feel better.

You need tools that help your body feel supported.

02/07/2026

Sometimes the simplest pause can bring the biggest shift.

Think about a snow globe sitting quietly in your hands. When it’s shaken, everything inside is chaotic, spinning, impossible to follow. But when you stop and give it time, the movement softens. The flakes drift. Stillness returns.

Our nervous system works much the same way.

Stress, emotions, and constant stimulation can leave us feeling unsettled and scattered, like everything is happening at once. Breathing slowly and intentionally gives your body permission to settle. With each breath, the noise quiets, the edges soften, and clarity begins to return.

Calm isn’t forced. It’s allowed. And sometimes, it starts with just one breath.

02/05/2026

Healing is never just about one part of the body. In my work as a holistic occupational therapist, I take time to look at the whole picture. Your body, your energy, your experiences, and where you hope to go next all matter.

Along with hands on body and energy work, I support clients in identifying what may be holding them back from living fully. This can include physical tension, emotional patterns, limiting beliefs, or simply feeling disconnected from themselves. Through intuitive coaching and gentle guidance, we work to build self awareness, trust your intuition, and create healthier patterns that support long term healing.

When helpful, I also share simple exercises to improve mobility, strength, and flexibility. These are practical tools you can use in everyday life to reduce pain, move with more ease, boost energy, and improve mental clarity.

As sessions progress, there may be times when additional support is needed. I am always happy to collaborate and refer to other trusted naturopathic or traditional providers when it will best support your care.

My goal is simple. To meet you where you are and provide the kind of restorative support you need as you move through your healing journey.

02/02/2026

Myofascial release is a gentle, hands-on way of listening to the body.
By working with the fascia, the connective tissue that supports everything beneath the surface, we can help ease long-held tension, restore movement, and invite the body back toward balance.
Often, the change isn’t forced. It’s allowed.
