I am proud to announce that I have opened my wellness studio in the lovely town of Black Mountain. NC

I moved to Western North Carolina in 2021 from the beautiful state of Vermont where I have been a wellness professional for the past 20 years. I have worked in a variety of wellness settings to include chiropractors office, integrative medical clinics, five star resorts, luxury day spas and my favorite, private practice.

During the pandemic, I knew something had to change, because I had basically skidded into the shutdown - burned out, overworked and under-fulfilled. My daughter was at the end of her college career and the long winters were really starting to effect me. I had a choice - either rebuild where I was or take the risk, dismantle my life and have absolute FAITH that following my heart would lead me where I needed to go. So, I sold my house, closed my business, said many tearful fare-wells and bet on myself. And I am so glad I did !!

I chose WNC because I have many ties to this great state. I graduated from the University of NC at Wilmington in 2000, my brother and his family live in Raleigh, my daughter recently moved to Wilmington and I have maintained many beautiful friendships over the years with many beautiful folks all over the state.

But above all, my heart has longed for a place that contained a vibrant sprit, where folks are living true to their integral selves, where nature was part and parcel of life and where I could share my work and contribute to the ALIVENESS of a community ! Upon arriving I was also introduced to whitewater kayaking, and this activity alone has provided so much joy and embodied bliss, that is was worth all the effort !!

A little more about me ....

I was compelled to start my own healing journey because I had my first episode of existential burnout when I was only 18 years old. Through this experience, I uncovered a deep disconnect between who I wanted to be and the realty of who I was. I didn't know it then, but it was the beginning of my path into personal healing and a professional mission of helping others do the same. It was the path of healing the wounds of disconnection and default trauma responses to cultivation of a vibrant and beautifully joyful life.

I have spent the last 20+ years on my journey of personal and professional evolution, seeking out the beliefs, behaviors & stories within myself that have prevented me from living my authentic truth. I have studied the human experience from a variety of perspectives: Massage Therapy, Bioenergetics & Shen Sensitivity training, Nutrition, Fermentation & Gut Rebuilding, Health Coaching, trauma sensitivity training, BodyMind integration, Ayurveda and more.

Through hands-on bodywork, classes & workshops, I coach others to heal their own wounds of disconnection, to develop alchemical self-care habits & to create fulfillment by tapping into their own innate capabilities. I help my clients to reclaim the sovereignty of their own lives, to use obstacles as trail guides, to attune to the language of the body & to deeply trust themselves.

I acknowledge that my experiences and opportunities originate from a place of a certain amount of financial & societal privilege. I am very interested in the intersection of unlearning the inherent biases of such a foundation AND my true calling as a guide to assist others in living an authentic, embodied & contributive life. I fully accept that this process is on-going in my life & in society at large. I am fully dedicated to realizing my place in the healing of people & the planet and the restoration of an interconnected consciousness. And I honor the land and it's original inhabitants on which I am grateful to practice.
