My Journey

In my life, I have hit numerous spiritual road bumps. Some were like brick walls. Others were more like electric fences - abrupt, hard and shocking. Each arrived at just the right time when I was pushing, striving, and driving too fast in the direction of the outer spiral of my existence. The road bumps helped me to slow down, stop, and question past assumptions and beliefs. I began to look in the mirror.

So I intentionally spiraled deeper within myself. This is where I discovered the inner tug-of-war: the disconnects between my own heart, mind, body and spirit. I saw that my sense of self and my value hinged on external sources rather than being intrinsically sourced. Limiting beliefs, false identifications, and mistaken motivations made life feel like a steep uphill trek. Peace and joy were fleeting.

I continued allowing myself to spiral deeper within myself toward alignment, bringing my heart, mind, body and spirit into greater harmony. Eventually I found my own rhythm and inner authority. I grounded in the intrinsic “I am” within. Softening into my authentic self, I discover deep peace and sustained joy.

Experiencing my own inner alignment brings forward my desire to support others in doing the same. I awakened to a deep fulfillment in assisting others in aligning within themselves, to their own innate wisdom. I teach people to be the alchemist of their own lives, transforming challenges into gold, so they can shine from the inside out.

 

What I Bring to My Work

I have more than thirty years of experience as a licensed health care professional, healer, teacher, guide, coach, and mentor. All that to say, I am a devoted healer and teacher.

Through my own experiences of life challenges and healing, I’m here to guide others on their journeys. Through time and experience, I’ve refined my innate intuitive and empathic awareness. I bring a calm, compassionate sensitivity. I care deeply and provide a container of safety and confidentiality. I treat people with fairness and equity, and welcome people regardless of race, culture, gender, gender identity, socioeconomic status, age, or religious or spiritual beliefs.

I have trained for over two and a half decades in the martial arts and was a martial arts instructor (sensei) for over ten years. Martial artists know joyous artistic expression and harmonious one-pointedness of mind. From my experiences running mountain marathons in Alaska and the Swiss Alps, skijoring, triathlons, and the international Worldloppet nordic ski marathons, I’ve learned that to improve performance beyond a certain point, one must develop a strong mind-body connection. I can assist you in awakening and optimizing your mind-body-spirit connection, reconnect parts of yourself, to fully integrate and embody positive changes in your life.

My approach is holistic, intuitive, integrative, and multi-disciplinary. I’m trauma-informed, trauma-transformed, and trauma-sensitive. My spiritual practices and experience in the fields of professional health care, martial arts, and corporate business have helped me to cultivate a balance of practical, target-focused efficiency and open-hearted spiritual connection that can guide you to wholeness and wellbeing.

I will never stop learning and exploring. All of the roads I’ve taken have led me to this point: to help you to reclaim parts of yourself, tap into your inner wisdom and strengths, and live the life you were meant to live!

In Human Design, I am a 2/4 Emotional Manifestor on the Cross of the Four Ways. That means that I initiate and lead positive change by inspiring others towards transformation, can catalyze that transformation, and empower aligned action. My decisions are careful, deliberate, and sustainable because I take my time in making them. I am heart-centered, independent, client-and-result-oriented, empathic, and attuned change agent.
