I believe that wellness should be more than symptom control or goal-setting. It should take into consideration that healing is non-linear and that the mind-body system is composed of layers - physical, subtle energetic, emotional/mental, intuitive, and spiritual.

Our bodies have all of the complexity and intelligence of the universe, yet most solutions to well-being impose on (versus work with) this intelligence through symptom suppression. And these solutions frequently address just one of our layers, without taking the others into consideration.

Additionally, every human being is unique in their layers and purpose. Therefore, the path to wellness is highly individual. This individuality explains why what works for your best friend makes you feel worse. You aren’t broken nor are you “not doing things right.” When you follow someone else’s plan, it’s exactly that - someone else’s plan.

My philosophy and approach is deep, comprehensive, and integrative. It draws from multiple modalities - like Ayurveda, mindfulness, Reiki, yoga nidra - as well as medical science and research. We address each of your layers (physical, energetic, emotional/mental, intuitive and spiritual), sometimes individually, sometimes together. Addressing each layer takes time and commitment, a minimum of six months, often longer.

We do a thorough intake to assess your physical and mental blueprint, current and longstanding imbalances, flow of energy in your life, spiritual development, limiting beliefs, areas of resistence and more. We search for the root causes of symptoms and behaviors, so that you can cut off the roots of imbalance, rather than simply suppress them. Then we work to improve function in each layer in a way that does not overwhelm, but instead allows you to digest and integrate what works for you. Each client’s journey is unique to them, as is the way we proceed forward.

My commitment to you is to see you as the whole person that you are. I act as an anchor in your life, a steady source of insight, education, and encouragement. As you navigate the twists and turns of integrating your layers, I remind you that you are not striving for perfection, just expansion in overall health and purpose. I cannot do the work for you, but I do provide the support that you need as you give yourself permission to live your best life.

“Being aware is the foundation for transformation and evolution. It sounds counter-intituitive, but I promise, it is not.  Awareness creates MORE space to be fully human and ALIVE, in tune with your inner wisdom.”
