who I am.

My passion for holistic healing has now spanned nearly 18 years and it all began when I first got pregnant with my son. I started questioning whether I wanted to put those products, pharmaceuticals, and processed food inside or around my body when I was bringing a new life into the world.  That moment sparked a deep desire to protect myself and my baby and lead me on a path to something much bigger than I realized at the time...my journey to natural, gentle and holistic ways to support life. And there it all began! Funny how it takes something big for us to make changes in our life and take responsibility for our health. For some it is a cancer diagnosis (like my husband who has now passed on to a more beautiful and peaceful existence). For others it might be an accident, an illness, or it could just be that one aha moment from seeing someone else’s story that gets you to start wondering, “Is there another way?” I went through many transformative moments where I began questioning how I understood my body and the power that I have to heal myself.  

My background includes obtaining a master's degree in social work, and spending some years working with at risk populations including abused and battered women, rape victims, low socioeconomic communities, and eventually becoming a child and family therapist.  But, after getting pregnant with my first child, I knew, for my own mental and emotional health, and the health of my unborn baby, that I needed to step back from this career. I became a stay-at-home mommy and eventually ended up with three beautiful children.  It was during that time that my expedition into learning homeopathy, nutrition and other holistic healing modalities strengthened my purpose.  After my husband got diagnosed with cancer when my youngest was only 3 months old, my dedication for inspiring our bodies to heal themselves became more immense.  And that is how I got here! I am now a Board Certified Traditional Naturopath and Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. I have gone to different schools and learned different modalities and I can say with so much certainty, that Homeopathy is my favorite modality and energetic medicine and I use it everyday, not only in my practice, but at home with my family, my pets and my friends. 

My passion is finding the root cause of illness and dis-ease, understanding why the body is expressing certain symptoms, seeing what spiritual and emotional components (trauma) are affecting physical imbalances, and finding ways in which to inspire the body to regain health and wholeness again.  We are all having our own experience as human beings and thus need different and more individualized ways to help ourselves thrive and live our best lives. I love to discover those paths that help us truly heal.  I want to know what is asking to be healed!

The link between our mental, emotional and spiritual bodies and our physical health and understanding those links in order to restore ourselves, needs further attention and exploration by each of us.  What can we do to heal ourselves with the beautiful gifts that Mother Nature so freely provides us and whose frequencies bring wisdom to our bodies, minds and spirits to help inspire our healing? I feel blessed everyday to be able to continue to ask these questions and to be a witness to all the beautiful possibilities.
