About Me

I'm a feeler, a learner, an experiencer.
I am ever growing and changing and expanding. As are you.

Focusing on You

My Mission

To support individuals and organizations identify and take steps to embody their values and authentically show up for themselves and their communities.

My Values

At our core we are all connected to universal wisdom. We are an expression of life flowing through us. Of love and joy and peace and struggle and anger and grief. What if we just let it all flow and dance rather than trying to control it?

Who I Am

Since a young age, I have been fascinated by the human experience – by what it means to be alive, to heal, to grow, and to become more fully ourselves.

That curiosity has taken me through more than 20 years of study and practice in yoga, meditation, mindfulness, Buddhism, Reiki and energy healing, sound and frequency healing, craniosacral therapy, theta healing, Bhakti, kirtan, tantra, and other contemplative and spiritual traditions. While the modalities have changed and expanded over the years, the heart of my work has remained the same: helping people reconnect with themselves and the wisdom that already lives within.

Today, I work primarily as a Reiki Master, intuitive energy healer, and guide, supporting people through periods of healing, transition, growth, and transformation. My work weaves together energy healing, intuition, mindfulness, meditation, movement, sound, and nervous system support to create space for what has become stuck or held to begin to shift – and for a deeper sense of connection, clarity, and aliveness to emerge.

I believe healing happens on many levels (physical, mental, emotional, and energetic) and that each of us carries an innate capacity to move toward greater wholeness. My role isn't to tell someone how to heal, but to help create the conditions for them to hear themselves more clearly, trust what they know, and come home to who they already are.

Alongside my one-on-one energy healing practice, I teach yoga and meditation, facilitate Reiki circles, workshops, and community gatherings, and lead retreats, including at Ratna Ling Buddhist Retreat Center in Northern California. Whether I am working with one person or a room full of people, I am interested in creating spaces where we can slow down, listen inward, reconnect with our bodies and energy, and remember that healing does not always have to come through striving or fixing.

Nature has always been one of my greatest teachers. I grew up in Portland, Oregon, shaped by the mountains, forests, rivers, and wildness of the Pacific Northwest. As an adult I spent many years learning the language of the ocean. Being a surfer, I innately understand how to listen to its rhythms, move with its power, and surrender to something greater than myself. I have lived and studied throughout the United States and internationally in Argentina, Costa Rica, England, Bali, and Mexico, and I now call the mountains of Bend, Oregon home. My connection to the natural world continues to deeply influence the way I understand healing: as a process of returning to our own rhythms, allowing seasons of release and renewal, and remembering that we, too, are part of something larger.

Before devoting myself more fully to healing and teaching, I spent many years working in corporate sustainability and earned an MBA in Sustainable Business from the University of Oregon. That chapter of my life deepened my understanding of values, integrity, and what it means to bring our inner beliefs into the way we actually live. Those lessons remain woven into my work today.

At the center of everything I offer is a simple intention: to help people feel more at home in themselves—more connected to their bodies, their intuition, their energy, and the life that wants to move through them. I believe deeply in healing, but also in joy, play, curiosity, and the possibility that becoming more ourselves can feel not only profound, but alive.
