About

In my formative 20's, I experience a deep personal struggle surrounding a family tragedy. My dad attempted suicide, attempted being the operative word; he went on to live a full life pursuant to his soul’s destiny. For those of us caught in his storm, it was a pivotal moment. We each wrestled differently with the turbulence that ensued, no doubt the emotions present echoing what may have been the very same ones that led him to his choice - the mirror present, yet not necessarily easy to gaze into.

​At some point along the way, a dear friend and mentor asked me “do you want your life to be defined by the struggles you’ve had and how you overcame them, or whether you loved regardless?”

The question itself anchored my spiritual trajectory; I fully embraced this first step in beginning a new relationship with the nature of unconditional love and forgiveness. Regardless of story or circumstance, would I step toward those qualities or turn away?

​Along the way, the truth has revealed itself repeatedly: neither love nor forgiveness is complicated. What I/we attach to them can be, and sorting that out is a worthwhile journey to embark upon.

As someone who embraces change (sometimes kicking and screaming) I recognize that each of us has an abundance of untapped resources just waiting in the wings – to be discovered and used as we craft our life path. The beauty of change, whether we love it, hate it,

seek for it, or crave it, is that it reminds us to explore life beyond the limitations we have settled for.


I trust that you are in great hands, whether in the throes of trying to manage the emotional rollercoaster from an unexpected diagnosis, a relationship experience that didn't live up to your expectations, or seeking to unwind the subtleties of grief, doubt, and longing.

 

My ability to listen through my hands and heart, to acknowledge the hurts and joys through dialogue or silence while being a conduit for a more personal conversation between you and your higher Nature… this is my gift.

There is a richness to what happens in this sanctuary, a haven for heart and soul - my hope is that through our work together, you rediscover the wholeness and fabric of your spiritual heart.

Always live in the direction of your joy.
