My Professional Journey

Since 2011, I’ve had the privilege of supporting a diverse range of people experiencing physical and emotional pain. I’ve spent tens of thousands of hours in my clinic listening to, observing, and treating a wide variety of symptoms and conditions. I’ve immersed myself in studies across various fields, including Chinese medicine, biokinesiology, physiology of the spirit, fertility, nutrition and pain management. To name a few.

This deep learning of formal training and hands-on experience has helped me understand the complexity of the human body, what causes pain and suffering, and how our body’s innate intelligence works to guide us back to balance. It has also shown me the deep resistance many of us feel when faced with the underlying causes of our pain—places we often hide or store emotional wounds and trauma.

My Personal Healing Journey

Alongside my professional work I’ve also faced many personal challenges. In my own healing I’ve turned inward to explore and release layers of pain. I’ve used plant medicine, holotropic and David Elliott-style breathwork, acupuncture, herbal medicine, meditation, retreats, energy work, and subconscious reprogramming. Spending time with gifted healers, as well as engaging in physical activities like hiking and running, has helped me release limiting beliefs, core wounds, trapped trauma and negative conditioning.

This journey, that still continues, has given me profound insights into the healing process. It has allowed me to develop effective tools and support systems for both myself and my clients.

The Power of Self-Awareness

Through my work and personal experiences, I’ve come to realize that you don’t truly own your life until you understand yourself. Without this self-awareness, your thoughts, choices, and concerns are filtered through others’ fears, conditioning, and perspectives. These behaviours can lead to a growing sense of disconnection from your body, health and life.

My Approach 

Over time I’ve learned to recognize how emotional and physical blocks are often intertwined. My approach is to meet you exactly where you are in your self-development and health. I then decide the best course of treatment for you, drawing from my training in Reiki, breathwork, acupuncture, internal inquiry, together with nutritional and lifestyle adjustment. I aim to guide you back to live your best life, free from pain and mental distraction. 

The Body’s Wisdom

Our bodies are always speaking to us. The key is learning how to listen. Through awareness and compassion we can unlock the wisdom the body holds.
