I have been studying Healing Touch energy therapy since 2009. I became a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner in 2015 and became an instructor of course 1 in January of 2021. I have been active in building a Healing Touch community in Northern California coordinating several courses, through this work I have had the opportunity to be present for and experience many classes. These experiences have enabled me to be a better instructor, practitioner and person.

I have earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Simpson University and have been trained in Mind and Body Medicine through The Mind Body Institute.

I have been an RN since 1983, and APRN since 1987. Currently I am Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Clinical Nurse Specialist. (FNP-BC, CNS-BC & CHTP)  I work at the VA Saginaw MI. Having studied Nursing and  lived in California for many years, in 2015 I relocated back to my state of origin, Michigan.  I completed my CHTP having started with my first class in 2003 at the Naval Medical Center San Diego CA.  I took a course via VA West Los Angeles CA, then completed my HT work with my mentor Liz Fraser from Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine (SCIM) San Diego CA.  I now live on a Farm in rural Michigan, and would like to become established with  a HT network in Michigan.  I am an Advocate for Veterans access to Integrative services and HT.

I love the results that are achieved when Healing Touch is combined with Massage Therapy. Pain is relieved and stress is released. My massage menu has this special offering listed as a "Signature Masage" because the combo truly adresses my client's needs from a mind and body perspective.

I also offer the Beyond Surgery Program. It empowers my clients to take charge of their pre and post surgical Healing, beginning weeks before the surgery takes place.
