My Story
Since my early 20's, I've been wildly passionate about natural health and healing, natural living and environmental health. I also have an engaged spiritual life and an innate intuitive sense that have profoundly shaped my view of the body and how I practice healing. I started my journey by becoming a massage therapist and learning about healing herbs, which was such an awakening for me, giving me a real sense of our deeply interwoven relationship with plants and nature and an in-depth relationship to the structure and function of the body. Following that, I attended acupuncture school (a four-year master's program) which literally changed the way I understood the world, the body and the relationship between it all. As I was practicing acupuncture years later, it became clear that I had a gift for working with energy. I not only felt drawn to doing it but it felt so fun and I was seeing awesome results as I wove it into my sessions. From there, my work transformed, and my own unique style of practice was born. Through all these years I have expanded and grown in so many ways, not just through working with energy, but also diving deeply into nutrition, mind-body medicine and spiritual health and healing. I feel so blessed to be able to do this work, as I know it is my true calling in life. I walk-the-walk in my personal life as well, integrating my knowledge about health and wellness into my personal life. I love spending time in nature, meditating, doing yoga and qi gong, reading endlessly about all topics of health, spending time with my family (husband, two sweet children, cat and large flock of chickens) and making delicious and healthy food.
My Training
I attended East-West college of the Healing Arts, completing an 801 hour certification program, which included training in Swedish, Thai, Shiatsu and Tui Na massage. I graduated from this program in 2006, and have been doing bodywork ever since. I am currently licensed for massage in the state of Colorado.
I completed my Master's of Science in Oriental Medicine (M.S.O.M.) at the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, finishing the program in 2012. I am currently a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Colorado. While in school, I received additional training in Shoni shin (a gentle, needle-free style of pediatric treatment), and wrote my thesis on the topic of treatments for supporting labor and birth.
I completed the Master level and teacher training in Usui Reiki.
I have also done many, many hours of continuing education on various subjects, including Shamanic healing, pediatrics, conception/pregnancy/birth, postpartum, reflexology, women's and hormonal health, herbalism and many other topics.
