If you feel ready to connect with your body, improving the function and balance of your whole being including your immune system, I am here to help! After graduate school in California, where I am from, I went through Pilates training and I was mentored on an Australian approach to PT. I then had a busy patient load for years, treating a wide variety of diagnoses and surgeries. After gaining experience, I stepped out of the clinic to offer a different type of therapeutic experience. I now practice Integrative Pilates Therapy, where western medicine meets a holistic approach.

I have a strong intuitive ability that facilitates good communication and connection with many clients. I believe in mind-body-spirit (energy) wellness. For me, this means our physical, mental, and energetic or (non-physical) health are connected and imbalance in one area can impact the entire being. There are many paths to wellness and healing. I am honored to connect and facilitate goal attainment (personal, professional, relational, emotional, health related and more!) with each client. I am grateful for every opportunity to learn more about your experiences as I feel we are capable of unlimited potential growth, resilience and compassion. Walking with clients on their path for a short while, I have the opportunity to witness clients recognize their inner strengths, gifts, beauty, wisdom and compassion. I work with individuals and couples. Workshops related to personal growth, coping, communication, and creativity are offered online.

A favorite quote by Rumi: "Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you'd ever imagined. Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself"

My mission is to help women who are going through crisis (like divorce or starting over) who feel lost reconnect to their Spirit. Through my work, I teach them tools and techniques to regain their confidence and trust their inner guidance. I have been interviewed on ABC/33/40 for this work as well as published several times in Reiki News Magazine. My book, Confessions of a Shower Tapper - The Ultimate Guide to Living Your Purpose with EFT is available on Amazon. I am the host of the podcast, The Empowered Spirit Show where I explore the connection to the human spirit in a way that helps your navigate your life, including crisis.

Welcome! Taking a step towards healing and growth is a big one. I celebrate that. My approach to therapy is individualized to your needs, wants and intuition. You likely come with challenges and you also come with strengths. I want to help you identify and celebrate those so you can use them to create tools to increase the quality of your life. I advocate for radical self care. I can teach you how to integrate self care into your daily life so that it is not something you do to escape stress, rather to create a lifestyle of nourishment. Caring for yourself well enables you to give so much more to those people and things in your life that you value.
