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.

RN, Certified Healing Touch Practitioner, Certified Massage Practitioner (CA #59480).  I was part of the Scripps Hospital Encinitas Healing Touch Team from  2011 to 2016.  I am currently attending classes at Mira Costa College to extend my skills in complementary therapies.

I offer Healing Touch Sessions and individual coaching sessions in my private practice in Burlingame. Included in my clientele are individuals experiencing chronic illness, are experiencing acute conditions, seeking pain management, are on a personal growth path and are at end-of life.  I also specialize in working with cancer patients, survivors and caregivers.

Since 2007, I have been providing Healing Touch Sessions to cancer patients and caregivers through the Stanford Cancer Supportive Care Program.  I have volunteered for Stanford's Healing Partner Program providing Healing Touch for cancer patients since 2004.  And I have worked with elders, founding the Healing Touch Program at the Jewish Home of San Francisco, a skilled nursing facility.

My years of working with clients coming to the end of cancer therapies questioning what comes next led me to seek out a coaching model where I would have more tools to assist my clients in the next steps in their healing.  I became certified as a Certified Circle of Life Health and Wellness Coach in 2011 and a Certified Cancer Journey Coach in 2016.  I marvel at the power of the Cancer Journey Program process, tools and ease with which transformation can take place before my eyes.

As I support my clients in their self-healing process, I am committed to my own, having learned that each day presents opportunities for each of us to learn, grow and expand.  I strive to live a balanced, positive, conscious and authentic life.  As I acquire new skills, knowldege, awareness and tools to enhance my capacity to serve and evolve, I can be present with compassion and insight in both my work and personal life. 

I am certified in Massage Therapy and Healing Touch.  I started my private massage practice in 2013.  I volunteered with Hospice of the Central Coast for almost four years as a massage therapist when I discovered Heaing Touch biofield therapy.  I was excited to train in this modality and have fused the two in my sessions.  I offer clients a combination of services though Healing Touch is always present.  I have been a Healing Partner with Stanford Cancer Care for the past two years and it has been such a wonderful and fulfilling experience.  

I also work for our local hospital here in nutrition and am expanding medical staffs' repertoire by organizing Healing Touch classes for them.  Our first local instructor, Irina Mulvey, is teaching Foundations of Healing Touch.

Healing Touch has been a wonderful addition to my massage practice and has enriched my offerings tremendously.  Clients are excited to have a choice of options, while being dressed or undressed on the massage table. Healing Touch has helped my clients in reducing pain, anxiety, and stress while it increases relaxation and well being.

My clientele is diverse, and I am grateful for their trust. Most clients comment on how much lighter and more peaceful they feel. I am honored to be part of their journey! How can i support YOU?
