I am committed to helping you

heal your body

Here is a bit of my story:

I have been a nurse for 17 years. I spent my first 5-7 years working in a high intensity inner city children’s hospital where I experienced firsthand both the broken western medical system and the miracles of modern medicine.

I was then introduced to Holistic Nursing and Complementary and Alternative Therapies and for the first time in my life, I encountered tools and received care from practitioners that helped me begin to unwind chronic physical issues, deep anxiety and an existential confusion.

I followed my curiosity and studied Maya Abdominal Therapy, Holistic Pelvic Care, hypnotherapy, meditation, spirituality and women’s healing. In 2010 I began working with plant medicines… beginning with flower essences and evolving to learn and heal from many master plant teachers.

It wasn’t long before I transitioned out of the hospital and into a thriving private practice in Minneapolis, MN where I held a transformational healing space for women.

I studied with master healers, attended powerful ceremonies and became a Qoya movement teacher and began teaching workshops and retreats. 

My life completely changed as I began to listen to my inner guidance system and cultivated disciplines to help me heal and transform my life. 

During those years, many aspects of my old life fell apart and many new things came together including meeting the love of my life. My journey was confusing, illuminating, terrifying, ecstatic and overwhelming… full of triggers and breakthroughs, grace and joy.  

My daughter was born in 2018 and everything changed. Her and I both became mysteriously sick from what we later learned was black mold illness from our rental home. I was given antibiotics for a surgery to repair pelvic floor birth trauma and we both became seriously ill from the antibiotics and mold combination. My daughter was so sick that she didn’t tolerate food for years. It was terrifying. I literally lost my mind. 

I am the type of person who needs to get the bottom of things, so I went on a painful and necessary search to learn everything I could about healing the microbiome and the immune system… functional medicine… Chinese medicine and food energetics… ancestral nutrition… trauma resolution techniques. Perhaps most importantly, I faced and began to transform shadow aspects within myself as I was in the midst of great agony and heartbreak.

I left no stone unturned. As a result, I am healing and my beautiful daughter is healing and finally thriving. 

In January 2023, just as we were finally recovering, I survived a rollover car-accident and walked away without a scratch. The experience shook me to the core – I knew I could have died without sharing my body of work.

As I crawled out the windshield of my smashed car, I felt like I had been given a second chance.

It was the breakthrough I needed to begin sharing my work more widely.

I believe there is an awakening happening on the planet and that you are here for a reason. I am convinced that each and every one of us has the power within to transform, heal and grow so we can become who we really are. 

When you take steps to transform and heal from within, your whole life will change and my intention is to help you do that.

 It is my life mission to share tools, teachings and inspiration to help you tap into the power and wisdom within yourself so you can get out of autopilot and live a life you really love.

I am passionate about transformational and ancestral healing practices 

  

I believe in the power of real food, herbs, movement, nature and prayer to heal

 

I am grateful for the weaving of community

 

I am humbled by the power of consciousness and the journey of the soul
