I have been fascinated by energy since I was a young child and I intuitively used it on our pets!

As a midwife for the last 35 years, I have used energy work as part of my practice for pain relief and general health of the moms I work with, as well as with my own family.
I took classes and workshops in multiple healing modalities and worked with an energy healer assisting him for 5 years.
I decided I wanted to have a certification that would mean something to the medical community since I was interested in working with chronic illness and Hospice care.  I found Healing Touch to be a perfect fit. 

I love people and I want to help them reach their goals to be healthy.
I enjoy working with all ages-- from babies to elders; healing work is my passion!

I discovered Healing Touch in 2012, the year I retired from a 30+ year career in higher education. After over 20 years teaching for the Psychology Department and then 10+ years as an administrator, I was ready to learn something new. I became a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner in 2018. Working with clients and helping them resolve physical and/or emotional pain/discomfort is rewarding and fulfilling. I volunteer with our local hospice agency, using Healing Touch with dying patients. I love this work!
