I dedicate myself to supporting you in feeling seen, heard and welcomed. I strive to use inclusive language and I am committed to learning from you and your lived experience.

My life journey has shaped me into the practitioner I am today.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to be invited into many sacred spaces and events in lives of people from all over the world, hundreds of births, weddings, healing ceremonies and inner quests throughout the United States, Mozambique, Brazil and Mexico.

I have spent many years fine tuning my ability to listen with my ears, my heart and hands

I see myself as a life long student of many modalities including Midwifery, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Pre and Perinatal Somatic Therapy, Polarity Therapy and Family Constellation work .

I am a certified and registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist and work with clients of all ages. I have also specialized in working with infants, tongue-tie, breastfeeding challenges and reflex integration.

I delight in supporting people of all ages feel safe, seen and met so that their true potential and vitality can be expressed.

I honor those that I have had the privilege to learn from. The list below is not all inclusive.
