Myofascial Release Therapist
Shaman & Spiritual Minister
Yoga & Meditation Teacher
I blend my knowledge and experience in myofascial release bodywork, meditation, yoga, energy healing, and shamanic modalities to create a healing experience. Step into your soul power by healing all parts of you to live a life more fulfilled, joyous, and pain free!
We each have the power to heal ourselves, our body is magnificent. I am a healer that helps facilitate you tapping into the healing power inside of you. Anything and everything is possible.
I received my degree in Exercise Physiology and my Graduate degree in Health Promotion Management. I was a Corporate Fitness and Wellness Manager, Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Mentor for over 15 years before moving into doing Healing Intuitive Bodywork.
I went through my own healing journey with debilitating back pain in my late 20’s around a time when I was trying to figure out ‘what I wanted to do next with my life.’ At the time I was applying for my Doctorate Degree so that I could become a full-time professor. Suddenly through this process my back pain kicked in. I got diagnosed with two herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and severe arthritic changes to my spine. I did traditional physical therapy, took Vicodin almost daily but nothing gave me relief. It was during that time that I started exploring other ways to heal the body with yoga, meditation, and Energy Healing. I first learned how to do energy work and got certified as a Reiki Master, Yoga Teacher, and Massage Therapist. These modalities definitely helped with my pain and personal path but it wasn’t until I went for my first Myofascial Release Session, that had a lasting impact on me. I left after an hour and was 70% pain free! That finally led me to find the powerful healing modality of John F Barnes Myofascial Release Therapy. So instead of going to get my Doctorate degree I went to Massage School and started my own healing and wellness business. I truly believe that the physical body is the roadmap to our soul! Through my own personal healing journey I blend all my knowledge and experience to create a healing plan personalized for you. I love inspiring others through my intuition to begin their transformational healing journey.
As I have gone deeper I am now started to infuse channeling and energy healing into sessions with clients. I use my intuition to help clients tap into what their souls are trying to communicate to them through the pain in the physical body.
I am most passionate about Myofascial Release Therapy as a modality that can help reduce pain and start someone on a transformational healing journey. I look forward to sharing my abilities as a healer with the world.
