Working Together
The somatic and spiritual need to work together in order to heal.
I invite you to engage in the world, no longer as an observer, but with the whole of yourself.
When people come to my doorstep, I often hear one of two things:
“There has been something missing in my healing path.” OR
“I know there’s a connection between what has happened to me and my health.”
I often work with healers and other creative people who want to step more fully into their lives and are ready to do the soul work that will allow them to do it.
Finding the Core
Whatever brings you to this work, it is likely that your healing journey will need a multifaceted, unique path to healing that honors you as a spirit as well as someone in a body. I tailor all my care to the person in front of me.
When I start working with someone, we first try to assess:
Is the core of the problem spiritual, physical, or emotional?
What field needs to be healed first? In short, where do we need to start the road of healing?
I have 25 years of experience as a bodyworker and 17 in naturopathic care. I combine naturopathic medical knowledge, advanced bodywork, counseling and shamanic practices to create a full spectrum of care that addresses the healing needed on the deepest level, body and spirit.
Most of the work I do with people is centered in spiritual healing, incorporating somatic and naturopathic healing practices wherever needed.
How will your healing journey begin?
Depending on your needs, we might start your healing in a variety of ways.
If you have digestive problems, we might start with diet changes, lab work, and visceral manipulation to get your symptoms under control first.
If you are experiencing chronic pain or headaches, we may start with craniosacral therapy, labs and supportive nutrients.
If you are suffering from emotional pain, we might go straight into shamanic healing work.
There are two key components that we work with: the emotional/psychological component as well as the structural/physical component that are connected in healing.
Overarching this healing is the shamanic component that gets to the source of spiritual wounding that creates the disorder.
And of course, we also look at any needed practical healing with supportive naturopathic care.

Are you an empath in need of support?
I tend to work with people who have empathic abilities or work as healers themselves.
With healers, I work on energetic boundaries. What happens when you take on your client’s pain? What’s yours and what’s theirs? How can you be fully present without harming yourself and not merge with your client and take on their traumas? How can you avoid getting injured by microtraumas in your work?
With those stepping into deeper intuitive or psychic abilities, I help them understand their gifts and how to safely use them. A lot of people have abilities but it’s been so downplayed in our culture that it is common for people not to have guidance on how to explore their emerging gifts in a healthy way. You might also notice health issues showing up due to poor energetic boundaries or lack of understanding around the nature of your gifts.
Tools & Techniques You Can Use Yourself
In the work, we often incorporate ritual work to address each person as a whole being who is standing in the light. From there they can see themselves as whole, beautiful, and in their agency to walk their own path. It brings them back to themselves and empowers them to walk their soul calling.
I also teach journey, ritual, and other ceremonies you can do at home on your own.
The intention of this work is to help you live your biggest, most powerful life, centered in spirit. This co-creative work helps you step into your soul’s calling and into your power.
Invitation
If you are ready to dive deeply into your own life and are curious about my approach, I would love to meet with you. It would be a privilege to offer you a space to heal.
I invite you to sit with me and tell me your story; let’s talk about your dreams and your pain. Allow yourself the possibility of deep healing.
