Hi! I'm a certified massage therapist, herbalist, ayurvedic counselor, and reiki practitioner. Im currently studying Somatic Therapy.

​

About my story and how I became a healer.

I grew up in Oakland, California. I went through a family where my emotions were neglected as a child. I had much of what i needed to survive, but I had a dark shadow following me that took me years to release. I was also adopted at three days old.

​

I experienced eating disorders and self harm as a teen. I went through alcoholism and escaping behaviors due to my pain and confusion.

​

When I went to college, I had a division 1 volleyball scholarship, but i didn't know how to tend to myself, and i eventually had a breakdown and quit volleyball.

​

In college I experienced sexual abuse. And I have been through a very formative though abusive relationship; even though it caused hurt i became stronger. I am here to support folks who have felt neglected, abandoned, abused, or who are experiencing mental health crises or who currently struggle or have struggled with depression, anxiety, or trauma.

​

I have been in mental hospitals, diagnosed with Bipolar 1 disorder. And I currently still take medications. I have been through mental health treatment along with my many healing schools.

​

Overall, these tools have helped me: Wise-woman herbalism, Ayurveda, Yoga Philosophy (Patanjali's yamas and niyamas) as well as extensive study of yoga asana. And a strong will to live and survive and maintain healing as a lifetime commitment.

​

Digging deep into my shadow and my core beliefs about life and spirituality, I developed an unshakable meditation practice that supports me daily. I have been in therapy for the past 15 years.

​

Because of all that I have made it through, I am able to hold space for more challenging situations, that rarely dismay me, and support people through healing even when its tough.

​​

I'm here to provide tools and safe space for healing. In a session with me you can expect to sit down for about an hour for a consultation, and then do about an hour of Reiki or Massage. At the end of our session, i will provide a self-care plan and suggestions for nutrition, herbal support, and yoga.

​

I use astrology, tarot, and somatic work, as well as traditional Buddhist meditation, yoga, and breathwork in my practice with clients.

​

Your healing is up to you! I am here as a facilitator for bringing the shadow to the surface to be healed and to hold you in sacred support while you heal and become your best self.

​

in love,
