Meet the Team

A few years ago we started asking ourselves, “Am I healthier today than I was yesterday?” That was a huge motivator! We want you to answer for yourself everyday, “Yes, because….”

  • I’ve been married for 29 years (yes, to the same man)
  • I’ve raised three amazing human beings
  • I am number 5 of 8 children raised by a mom who was holistic before it was cool
  • My favorite sport is water skiing (yes, it is a sport)
  • I’m not an animal person but my 90 pound puppy melts my heart!

What are your qualifications?

I love learning!

When I study a subject, I read every book written on that subject.  I can’t get enough information about the topics that excite me.

I love people!

I love figuring out what makes us tick. Curiosity and empathy move me to explore the best ways to help my clients.  When I come across a person who seems broken, my thoughts are ‘What has happened to them?’ and ‘How can I help them?’

I love health!

I don’t believe that feeling run down, tired, stressed, etc… is “normal”.  I believe we can all take steps to feel better.  I love the experimental process of figuring out what works best for each of us.  My goal for my clients is to be healthier today than they were yesterday.

I love travel!

I’ve been blessed with the experience of traveling the world, exploring different cultures; Different foods; Different modalities used in healing around the globe. These experiences give me a wide range of modalities to use with my clients.

  • I am an identical twin (no you are not seeing double)

  • I spent my teen years living in another country helping me develop a different kind of perspective
  • My best friend would have to be my dog who is a Belgian Shepherd
  • Jeep girl for life! Can’t imagine driving anything other than a Wrangler

What are your qualifications?

 

I love to learn!

I’ve dedicated myself to it. I want to understand the why and how behind the health issues we all face and strive to be able to help as many people as I can in coping with them. Since childhood I’ve always had my nose in a book trying to understand a new idea or concept. There are so many different modalities in this world and traveling has helped me to have the opportunities to be exposed to many of them, to learn about some of them and to put them into use in our practice. I’ve only been able to learn about a handful in the big scheme of things but I hope to explore as many modalities as I can.

Currently I am a Licensed Massage therapist, certified in Lymphatic Drainage, Oncology Massage, Prenatal Massage and an essential oil specialist. I am also a certified Certified Vitalistic Therapist, Medical Bio-magnetism Practitioner and certified in Bio Energetics.

So, in conclusion, if you are still reading this, than I hope you appreciate some unsolicited advice:

  • Live life deliberately!
  • Find out the reasons why.
  • Explore all the options even if they seem a little bit hippie.
  • It’s your life, your health.

I hope you will allow me to assist you in this journey.
