I originally found this modality of HEALING TOUCH as a patient at Scripps Green in La Jolla, CA in 2001. Where my nurse on duty asked if I would like to try a relaxation technique. My pain levels were extreme. She performed HT prior to surgery as well as post-op. I was able to receive this phenomenal treatment, changing my life for my highest good.

I sought out the treatment and found a local church support group in my area; run by Val Jean Zieber, CHTP/Spiritual Ministry. I continued to receive monthly treatments. As I progressed in healing; I started learning more. Finding education from Scripps through our Healing Touch International/Healing Beyond Borders Organization. Which has taught me self-care techniques that I continue to share.

My journey with Healing Touch continued; in 2012 as a regular recipient of this modality of healing. I started my first course work in the summer of 2012. I was excited to learn more of this incredible therapy and what it had to offer. I became a member of Healing Touch International/Healing Beyond Borders in 2014. By 2016, I was certified as a Healing Touch Practitioner - CHTP.

My role as a prior student and Certified Healing Touch Practitioner continues to include being a coordinator/helper for Foundations of Healing Touch (Course 1) and Energetic Patterning and Clinical Application (Course 2) in the San Diego California area. 

I have also become an EarSeed Certified Practitioner. Working with the Ears in Auricular Therapy. 

In addition, I continue to be of service as a volunteer; through Sharp Hospital Chula Vista and Sharp Grossmont Hospice. I also see patients and family on an individual basis.

I continue to enjoy serving as a co-Mentor for the continuance of our future mentees working toward certification.
