When I am asked what it is that I do, I find myself stumbling for words. In essence, through my many qualifications and training, I am drawn to helping those who wish to find a calmer nervous system, and mind, body and soul healing. Through the different modalities I use, we might work physically hands on, or through movement such as yoga. Or we can use breathwork and meditation to tap into the mind and body connection. In clinic and in classes I like to incorporate the vagus nerve and healing this to help us calm and soothe wired and fried nervous systems whether it is from stress, trauma, lifestyle or all three. Energy healing is a beautiful way to calm the nervous system, and heal specific areas, unblock chakras and work with whatever might be showing up.
I also love working with Soul Realignment to help people make changes or hone in on their divine gifts, talents and purposes in life, or to make adjustments and break past life karmic patterns that might just be holding them back.
MIND, BODY and SOUL are all one in my eyes, and working on any one element will always have an effect on the others. Finding balance, peace, and harmony with the parts of you that make you uniquely you!
