I am a mature and diversely experienced Alternative/Holistic Therapist. What I offer to you is the fruit of 35 years of immersion in other cultures, spiritual traditions, and diverse therapeutic guidance and practices. Throughout these years I encountered many spiritual practitioners, mentors and therapeutic professionals and studied in the manner of direct learning in both private and small group settings.

I began my my work as a therapeutic guide, mentor and body/mind teacher after 18 years of dedicated spiritual seeking and a deep daily practice of meditation, advanced breathing techniques, and self-inquiry. Over the following 17 years I deepened my therapeutic guidance, healing and teaching capacities and received  initiation as a Reiki master and certifications for hypnotherapy, yoga therapy and yoga teacher training.

I continue my ongoing studies of spiritual, scientific and healing texts across many world traditions and disciplines. I am currently focused on Conscious and Hypno-therapeutic re-framing techniques to assist patients and students in recognizing, and positively changing unhealthy mental habits and behavioral patterns.

I have easy, compassionate and meaningful rapport with patients/students and help them to address a variety of broad challenges such as chronic depression, anxiety disorder, panic attacks, chronic migraines, self-deprecating and shame-centered personality tendencies and recovery from mental, emotional and physical abuse. Long term students who wish to engage in deep self-inquiry and guidance in their conscious evolution are most joyously encouraged to study with me over time.  

Most of the clients/students that I work with may also be receiving medical and/or therapeutic guidance with traditional psychotherapists, psychiatrists or other traditional and /or healing professionals. I approach each person from a complementary therapy perspective and encourage them to find connectivity and synergy with what they learn with me and the other practitioners and professionals that they work with.

I meet  with those that come to me in person or remotely through video sessions for both talk- therapy, hypnosis sessions or reiki/prana healing. I have created a number of handouts and exercises that, when appropriate, I encourage patients to use so they may more actively engage in their own healing process. I also offer patients/students a variety of physical practices, breathing techniques, meditations and detox programs when it is appropriate, that they can use as tools to manage their healing, purification and growth.

I hold a bachelors degree in Fine Art from the University of Arizona, and a year of graduate research toward a Masters degree in Art Technology through the California Institute for the Arts. I have primarily been a self-employed entrepreneur throughout my working life. I have worked in well-being collectives with other practitioners and run my own small centers for therapy and instruction. I offer a mature and well grounded wisdom as well as an energized and youthful presence. 

I hold a two year certification as a Gemmologist through The Gemological Association and Gem Testing Laboratory of Great Britain. I worked as the Manager of the Colored Gemstone Laboratory at the Flagship location in NY, NY at Tiffany & Co. I have been a freelance Gemmologist combining technical assessments for identification and valuation as well as personal guidance through the more intuitive aspects of the mineral universe.

It is significant, also, for me to include that I spent 35 years traveling all over the world and have broad cultural exposure and sensitivity.  I spent long periods of time in Ireland, Portugal, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Australia and India.  I am kind, patient, insightful, compassionate, creative, and enthusiastic.
