About Me
My work serves clients that are seeking detoxification and decongestion support, greater function of the digestive and reproductive systems, and nervous system balancing. I have a gift for helping clients hear and translate the subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, messages from their body. I get results quickly and track progress effectively.
I’m a dreamer, a dancer and Mother Nature’s child. It is only fitting that I ended up being a visionary body worker and leader of this natural medicine clinic and spa.
I grew up in the south eating lots of biscuits and fried food and found myself with a host of GI issues, inflammatory pain and extreme fatigue by the time I finished college.
Off I went around the country, traveling and educating myself on how to get healthy and landed in the arms of Seattle with its treasure chest of natural medicine opportunities. I dove right into massage school, trained in colonics with a local Naturopathic Doctor, started gobbling up nutrition trainings and never looked back.
I was blessed early on in my career with mentorship and guidance from elders and teachers in the field of mind/body wisdom. My multiple transformations have been supported by many amazing practitioners. I have experienced and witnessed remarkable, holistic healing in my life and am honored to share my knowledge and my knowing with you.
