ABOUT ME

I envision a world where all people live in deep connection and harmony with themselves, their communities, and the Earth as they honor the rhythms, rituals, and rites of passage that guide them on their journey through life.

I am here to help guide you and permit you to feel your experience entirely.

If you’re wondering how I got here...

I grew up in a semi-rural community in New Jersey with my parents and siblings. Being the youngest of six children, there was never a dull moment. My oldest sister Mary is disabled. I spent a lot of time with Mary, and it’s worth noting that this experience instilled in me a reverence for life, a calling to help others, and an appreciation for which I will be eternally grateful.

My mother and father raised us from day one in a natural environment. The use of “home” remedies was commonplace for all of us. My mother believed that while conventional medicine serves its purpose in certain situations, it failed to get to the root of most all health concerns. She felt very strongly and taught us that the Earth provided everything needed to protect and heal us. 

I received my Horticulture degree at Colorado State University in 2007. Connecting with the Earth in a place like Fort Collins caused me to search for more natural ways to heal and help others. In 2008 I earned my certification in Massage Therapy. And in 2009, I became a certified herbalist.

After becoming a mom in 2012, my life was completely changed. Because of my birth experience, I felt drawn to help nurture other moms and families through their pregnancy journeys.

In 2014, I earned my Doula Certification in Fort Collins; in 2015, I had my daughter at home without medical intervention. Again, this was a life-changing experience in the best way.

From early on, my son had all kinds of skin issues, and most noticeably, he developed a large amount of eczema, affecting his skin and happiness. This was when my journey into food, holistic healing, and nutrition began to deepen. I have grown in incredible ways after working with countless practitioners and healers.

Throughout my studies in Horticulture, Holistic Health, Herbalism, Massage Therapy, Nutrition, Doula practice, and now Trauma Healing with Somatic Experiencing® International, I have gained the tools to heal myself and am passionate about sharing my knowledge with others and helping in the ways that I can.

I believe deeply and passionately that we should all be given the education and tools necessary to make informed choices and decisions about our health instead of just being told what to do.

We all have the ability and power to understand how our bodies work and truly heal from the inside out. I encourage my clients to take charge of their own experiences. I support you throughout this journey and provide a haven for you to heal.

The foundation of health comes back to healing our traumas and nourishing our bodies with the right foods. Like symbiosis, a necessary and mutually beneficial relationship between the two allows us to balance the heart and mind truly.

If you have any questions about my background and experience, please don’t hesitate to connect with me!

MAY YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE!

In devotion to your becoming,
