I have been working in the professional field of massage therapy/bodywork & energy therapies since1989. Coming from a dance and theater arts background, I eventually moved into the healing and meditative arts. These modalities and studies have been a deepening expression of my personal practice of "experiencing" body, mind, and heart. My intention for this ongoing work is to continue self inquiry and healing, to share life experience and knowledge while assisting clients, students and others on their journeys into health and well being.

I was introduced to Healing Touch in 2008 shortly after my husband was diagnosed with a rare cancer.  It has truly been a blessing and I am passionate about helping others learn and experience the benefits of complementary wellness therapies.  I have worked with individuals with cancer, surgical patients, individuals with migraines, anxiety and depression.  I especially enjoy working with children and seniors, I have provided sessions for ages 3 months up to 98 years young and many ages in between.
