My Practice…
As an Integrative Healing Arts Practitioner, I help my clients reconnect with their bodies utilizing a variety of therapies that draw from each of the 5 senses: sight, smell, sound, touch, and even taste. I provide deep, compassionate listening and reflect each client’s heart as they share their vulnerabilities with me along their healing journeys. Each session is tailored to meet the needs of the client in the moment, based on their personal constitution and history.
Ayurvedic Lifestyle Counseling is a client-centered, collaborative process that focuses on practical lifestyle-modification recommendations and spiritual exploration. Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old Science of Life from India, which is being recognized more and more as a valid and helpful way to achieve health and vitality in the body.
**For anyone who has ever suffered from a chronic illness or chronic pain, health and vitality can seem completely unattainable concepts, meant for the “lucky” ones…. I am here to tell you, I have traveled the road of Ayurveda. And while it has not been easy, or quick, and there have been twists, turns, and setbacks over the years, I have found my way to the other side of the darkness of pain and suffering, and it is my Dharma to light the way for others like you…
For Ayurvedic Counseling relationships to flourish effectively, a 6-visit minimum commitment is required. Please refer to the offerings page for more details. You may also schedule a free 15-minute consult call to discuss how I can help you, personally.
As a bodyworker & Reiki practitioner, I offer a doorway to deep attention to subtle energy awareness. As clients receive gentle hands-on therapy during sessions, they learn to build tolerance to quiet moments, which can lead to greater possibilities for healing and connection with oneself and with nature.
Bodywork sessions are available on a one-off basis, or packages and combinations with Ayurvedic services can also be purchased.
Services Offered
Massage & Bodywork
I begin each session with a brief dialogue with the client to gain a clear understanding of their chief physical complaint. Then, I allow my sensory intuition to guide me to areas where energy has become stagnant within the body, resulting in pain and tension. I employ a variety of holistic, hands-on body therapy techniques to release these blockages, and clients often feel relief and relaxation immediately.

This customized package service will introduce your Ayurvedic dosha and set you up with a basic outline of practices to launch your best practices for optimal health in an unhealthy society.
