Licensed Massage therapist, Certified Healing Touch Practitioner, Clinical Aromatherapist

I have been a CHTP since 2013. I am an RN  licensed by the state of Minnesota where I have lived for the past 28 years. I have practiced nursing for 38 years, most recently in the area of Informatics (where technology and nursing science meet). I currently have a small private practice and volunteer for Hospice at my local hospital. Providing HT as a volunteer with Hospice has brought me many experiences that keep me humble and in awe of this wonderful world in which we live. This year I became an Instructor for Course 1 and a mentor for several students of HT. I look forward to continuing to expand my horizons and 'doing the work' and spreading light, love and most of all healing! 

As a doctor of Mind-Body Medicine, I specialize in the relationship between emotions, the mind, and physical health. I am an Integrative Mental Health Specialist serving as a bridge between traditional allopathic (Western) medicine and other World Medicines (Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine).  I utilize a holistic, psychodynamic, root-cause perspective focusing on the integration of mind, body, brain, and spirit to help develop personalized treatment plans with my clients. My ideal clients struggle with emotional symptoms and chronic physical conditions and want to empower themselves to feel better every day.

My treatment model includes integrative mind-body psychotherapy, Healing Touch, biofeedback, and auricular acupuncture. Mind-Body strategies help to reduce stress. Breath work, movement, guided imagery, dietary and lifestyle changes are all effective techniques to help you manage or overcome your negative self-talk, brain fog, chronic pain, depression, or anxiety.
