Healing Services

I offer the following modalities in combination with each other, depending on what you desire for your session.

  • At the beginning of a session we check in and work together to find a starting place for your bodywork to unfold.

    I create a ceremonial space in which we honor the story and wisdom of your body and spirit.

    I smudge and use the clear tones of tuning forks to help us focus inward.

    To close a session I smudge again and we check in to see how the session went for you. If you like, I can apply some essential oils to your body.

  • Restorative yoga is for every body.

    With bolsters, blankets, blocks, sandbags, and belts I help you find your way into comfortable, gentle poses. Unlike the yoga you might have experienced in classes, restorative yoga requires no effort except surrendering to the pose.

    Poses can be held for longer promoting deep relaxation, and all over body release.

    I will often end a bodywork session with a fully supported 20 minute Savasana, giving you time to rest and integrate what we have uncovered.

  • I use hands on bodywork, specially designed wooden blocks, and soft balls of different sizes to gently decompress the body’s fascia, (connective tissue), and release pain.

    We work together through the meditation of conscious breathing to increase blood and oxygen flow, melt restrictions, release emotions, and create peace in your body.

  • I use weighted and un-weighted tuning forks.

    Un-weighted tuning forks are used near the body and produce clear, audible tones that are helpful for traveling inwards, creating emotional shifts and enhancing spiritual awareness.

    I use weighted tuning forks directly on the body. They vibrate at the same deep frequency as the Earth, rooting you in your body, working directly on muscle and fascia, and gently releasing tension, pain and stuck or stagnant energies.

  • Hapé, or Rapé is a sacred, traditional snuff used by indigenous tribes of the Amazon Rainforest.

    It is a finely powdered blend of medicinal plants and Nicotiana Rustica, a strong South America tobacco.

    I serve Hapé by blowing it ritually into each of your nostrils using a blow pipe known as a tepi.

    Hapé is a very grounding way to finish a bodywork session. It creates deep presence and clarity of mind. I work with ethically sourced Hapé and learning how to serve Hapé to others was a gift from my healer. *Hapé is optional.

We are spiritual beings in physical bodies.
I believe everyone has access to their spiritual growth by working with their body.

Human birth is a rare and precious opportunity. We are given the body to work out emotional scars and spiritual challenges from this life and past lives.

I believe that spiritual evolution comes through reincarnation. We are here to heal the body and to evolve in all lifetimes. Releasing blockages in the physical form extends emotional and spiritual horizons in all lifetimes.

By clearing our physical form, we clear the mind. When we are able to clear space for greater healing for ourselves, we can then do so for each other and the planet. I want to live in a world where everyone knows this and embraces our Soul-led potential and Divine birthrights.

I am a healer who works with the physical form. My role is to facilitate peace in the body.

I want nothing more than to shine light on the inherent goodness and Divine potential of all living beings through my bodywork practice. My direct life experiences and ongoing commitment to spiritual growth have contributed to what I am today: a healer with my own deep, exploratory bodywork practice.

I am inspired by clients who gain awareness during their work with me and manifest a desire to continue an exploratory bodywork practice on their own. I continue to be lit up by those who discover what they are capable of, embrace it, and empower themselves beyond.
