But really, I am a seer, dreamer, destiny fulfilling champion, bridge builder, walker of worlds, intuitive, qi mover and builder, swordswoman, destroyer of illusions, truth evangelist, the spirited energy here to inspire you.

I am amazing at seeing straight to the heart of things, seeing what others do not, with no BS. I am able to assess the precise changes a person needs to make – whether it’s at the level of mind, body, spirit, or soul in order to heal or evolve. I am skilled at getting rapid results with precise recommendations and services in anti-aging, cosmetic services, functional and Chinese medicine. I have a truly holistic approach to healing in which I also provide inspiration to patients to refresh their perspective and make positive shifts.

I’ve devoted most of my life to cultivation and liberation practices: learning music, dance, medicine, Chinese medicine, movement and martial arts, eastern philosophies, mystical arts, yoga, pilates, meditation, shadow work/introspection, psychology, challenging dominant narratives, attending to matters of justice, traveling to understand other cultures and embrace differences, learning to find peace within.

When you work with me you can expect complete disarming, the comfort to be yourself and to work from a place of safety and vulnerability. My physical touch is deeply soul soothing, and I offer gentle challenges for change in inspiring ways. You leave my sessions more relaxed, peaceful, calm, and able to approach life’s challenges with more confidence and clarity.

And you’ll probably be delighted and surprised by how much fun the process is! Expect to learn something new and inspiring in almost every session, to feel seen and held in your deepest pain and also to find humor and levity – sometimes laughing and crying in the same session.

I have a gift for providing complementary approaches both online and on land, gifting new perspectives so you can see your life in a whole new way through a fresh, expansive lens that supports your highest, healing good.
