Energy healing has had a profound, positive impact in my life, and I am passionate about sharing the benefits with others.

As a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner, my goal is to to facilitate your self-healing process through this gentle, subtle, yet profound energy therapy.

I’m constantly delighted by the shifts that can take place during or after an energy healing session. I love it when a client tells me “I slept through the night,” or “My headache is gone!” or, “I’ve had an insight into my situation, I can deal with this.” That’s why I do this work.

I offer a safe and nurturing atmosphere in which to help you get grounded, find balance, and feel renewed. My practice is based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

First, what matters and how I can help - I believe in the your ability to heal and to create a life you love. I believe in the power of connection, touch, being real, stories, and creativity because these help us deal with whatever life might throw our way. I am a member of the Creative Process, Not Product, Fan Club and will sponsor your membership when you're ready to join, too. I understand childhood, or developmental, trauma, transition, the impact of sudden illness, and chronic illness from the inside out. I understand caregiving, and the effects of brain injury in loved ones. I promise to use all of my knowledge, expertise, and life experience during our time together.

Now my credentials...I am a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner in the Kansas City, MO area and have been ceritifed since March 2001.

I make people feel good every day and that feels pretty good. After 20+ years as a massage therapist I feel even more inspired and excited about my career than ever before! My intent is to create space within your body for rest and repair, help you develop mind-body awareness, and remind you that investing in your physical and emotional health pays off. I integrate a bit of everything I’ve learned over the years into each session depending on your needs and treatment goals.

Becoming a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner has greatly changed my perspective on and approach to bodywork and I’m so eager to share this deep relaxation technique. I believe it has such a subtle, yet powerful effect on the mind-body, on its own or when combined with massage therapy.

I am also a National Educator for several product lines, which gives me the opportunity to visit spas throughout the country to teach therapists how to perform specialized body treatments using organic, aroma-therapeutic ingredients. I also borrow quite a few techniques from these treatments, giving you an eclectic blend of cultures and rituals during your session. Check out Beauty Secrets and red flower to learn more!

I am a mobile therapist which means you can enjoy your session in the comfort of your own home.
