I am a mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend, student of life and much more.  I enjoy practicing yoga, walking in nature and feeling my feet in the sand.  I am continuously amazed by the power of being present and facilitating the Healing Touch process for people. I especially value working with LGBTQ identifying individuals and their allies.

After the tragic loss of my son in January 2014, my passion for energy work was ignited. Through loss and grief, I have come out on the other side and experienced incredible personal and spiritual growth. I live in Greensboro, North Carolina and am a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner as well as Certified in Reiki and Foot Reflexology.  I am dedicated to my practice and believe with all my heart that doing this work is where I was always meant to be.

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.

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.
