I have always enjoyed working with my hands and from a young age have been told I have an ‘intuitive touch’. I am an out of the box thinker. I enjoy the puzzles the body presents, figuring out its hidden connections that lead to a person’s discomfort. There are messages and hints the body puts out that lead to the understanding of the entanglement of issues that are often symptomatic in one location and source in a very different location than suspected. I enjoy the journey, the challenge and the discovery. I love connecting with people, connecting with their bodies and bringing them back together. My priority is people. I love my work.
I love to learn, the more I learn the more I realize how much there is to know!
