I have been a Certified HealingTouch Practitioner since 1995.  My Master's Degree is in Human Development and Family Wellness.  I then finished massage therapy training so I could practice Healing Touch.  I have studied Pranic Healing, Crainio-sacral, Ortho-bionomy, Intuitive healing and am a Reiki Master.  The Healing Touch work is amazing and I love doing it and feel better myself.  I also work with people on stress education and lifestyle issues. 

I am married, have 2 children and 5 grandchildren.  I love learning and reading and being at our summer cabin in MN.

My mission is to educate and guide people around the world to embrace effective holistic self-care strategies for balanced, joyful living and continuous total healing. (The most effective, lasting healing creates sustainable balance across physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of life.)

In the 10+ years I have been working with clients, I have assisted in a variety of healings and helping people learn how to manage their stress proactively which strengthens the nervous system and immune system.  I created and taught a Stress Management class combined with studies of psychoneuroimmunology and energy psychology to  help clients find the strategies that work best for their lifestyle and spirit. 

Remote sessions and face to face sessions are both possible. I have successfully remotely worked on clients across the USA, Italy, Iraq, Turkey, Palestine, and India.  I am open to travel to your home in Michigan, work in my office space, or outside in the healing gardens for face to face sessions. Call, text,  or email for a consultation. 

I started Level 1 training 5 years ago in 2012. I was diagnosed with lupus in 2011 and was looking for something I could do because I was in so much pain all the time that I couldn't continue doing physical jobs like I've always done. I didn't know what to expect but a friend highly recommended I try Healing Touch. I fell in love right away! The weekend of training felt more like going to a spa and I never wanted to leave! I felt so amazing! I knew that if I felt this good, others will too. So I continued on until certification in 2016 and I currently work out of my home in Freeport, MN. I have returning clients every month and I'm looking to add another location in St. Cloud to be more convenient for other clients as well.

My nursing career of 39 years has spanned all of life's spectrum from labor and delivery to hospice.  Healing Touch has been a gift to me personally and professionally.  I belive in empowering my clients with wellness tools and healing techniques that are holistic.  Unless we address mind, body and spirit we cannot achieve wholeness.  I have a special interest in women with unexplained pelvic pain and irritable bowel syndrome as well as sports injuries.  Healing Touch is an important component to any wellness plan.  Learning to listen to our bodies and respond appropriately is crutial to maintaining a balanced life and healthy body.
