Where My Journey Began

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here.

 

My path to this work began in a less than traditional way. I spent my earliest years in the Siddha Yoga Ashram, receiving darshan from Swami Muktananda. My father was an est trainer for 20 years, moving to San Francisco when I was just two years old and going on to lead seminars around the world. I often found myself in the back of those rooms, listening as people explored their deepest wounds, experienced profound insights, and discovered new possibilities for their lives. Long before I had language for psychology, healing, or human transformation, I was immersed in it.

At 21, I spent two years studying with human energy systems pioneer Jack Schwarz at his Aletheia Heart Center, first in Ashland, Oregon, and later in Mendocino, California. Jack was one of the early pioneers exploring energetics and how awareness of our energy systems can support health and healing. A friend of Joseph Campbell, he was also studied at the Menninger Clinic for his remarkable ability to consciously influence his body and healing.  Jack spoke with me about sharing his work someday. Decades later, I continue to believe his teachings are timeless and deeply valuable.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Healing
My early experiences led to a lifetime of studying the many ways we heal, grow, connect, and transform. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Northwestern University and went on to work at Georgetown University. Over the years, I continued my training across complementary disciplines, including:

• Intuition Medicine

• Herbal wellness

• Relationship coaching

• Sound healing

• Biofeedback

• Energy healing

• Mindfulness

• Hypnotherapy

 

I am also a certified hypnotherapist and hold a Master’s Certificate in Intuition Medicine.

 

Eventually, I returned to Jack Schwarz’s work with a much broader foundation from which to understand and share it. Today, I integrate his teachings with psychology, human energetics, frequency healing, relational science, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and other complementary modalities.

Integrating Mind, Body, Energy & Relationship
After a lifetime of study, one belief sits at the center of my work: each of us has the capacity to grow, learn, transform, and live a more intentional and joy-filled life. Healing rarely happens through a single modality. We are complex human beings, and our emotional, relational, physical, energetic, and spiritual lives continually inform one another. That is why my work draws from a wide range of disciplines rather than applying one approach to every person.

Working Together
My work creates space for wellness and healing, with particular attention to our relationship with ourselves and with one another.
In private sessions, I draw from decades of study and experience to customize the approach and tools around the unique needs of each client.
I also create and facilitate group sessions, experiences, and classes that bring these modalities together in ways that support grounded, powerful, and lasting shifts, with an ongoing focus on living and loving more intentionally.

I love this work and am deeply committed to creating meaningful healing and wellness experiences and sharing tools that help people move forward with greater clarity, intention, and empowerment.
