Hello

I was sick a lot when young. The medical world had no answers for me. Bless those doctors who tried, but they just ran out of options and I was getting weaker from their medicines and my immune system was failing me. So I went on a quest for healing and found ways to build a strong viable body and mind through homeopathy, herbs, and body-centered therapies. I was able to keep myself and my family healthy with natural remedies. 
My formal trainings include: 

Homeopathic Training with Dana Ullman, Richard Moskowitz, Jeremy Sherr, and Joe Rozencwajg, NMD. 

Herbal Apprenticeship with Michael Moore, founder of Herbs Etc., Santa Fe NM and Bisbee AZ.
Advanced coursework in Polarity Therapy, a combination of eastern acupressure techniques with western osteopathic and chiropractic style manipulations, along with exercise and dietary practices.
Advanced level  Neuromuscular Therapy, deep tissue massage, finding and releasing muscular contractions, with special focus on origins and insertions of muscles at joints.
250 hours training in Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure®
as well as attending classes in 

Ortho-Bionomy, an osteopathic technique using compression or stretching with gentle pressure to release holding patterns around joints; 

Aston Patterning, movement integration and posture assessment; 

Rosen Method Bodywork, gentle bodymind integration using movement, breath, touch, and awareness to deepen experience of aliveness,

 Integrative Manual Therapy; gentle manipulations of fascia and underlying structures for relief of holding patterns, 

Cranial Sacral Therapy, and 

Chinese Pulse Analysis. 

I have a Masters degree in Body Psychology from The Naropa Institute and advanced certification in the Rosenberg System of Integrated Body Psychotherapy, (IBP), which employs sensory awareness, breath, movement and stress postures to deepen awareness.
I received certification for a two year Clinical Integration course with Lonny Jarrett on the Fundamentals of Chinese Health Assessment.

​

These trainings ingrained in me the principles of natural healing.  40 years of practice have honed my skills. I don't feel afraid of disease and aging as I once did. Experience has taught me that there are always good natural ways to arouse the innate healing force within the body and mind which will bring them back to balance. I trust this process absolutely.

 

Someday it will be time to surrender to death which will be a healing moment in it's own way. But until then, there's lots of living to do, at whatever stage of the curve from birth to death we find ourselves.  I'm here to facilitate you in living with the greatest vitality and resiliency possible here and now.
