My Story…
My story is one of resilience and personal growth through years of living with chronic pain and autoimmune disease.
The purpose of my work at SWHA is to provide resources and healing to people who are living with chronic illness or chronic pain. I wish to help my clients discover their inner healer so that they may find, within themselves, the tools they need to “suffer well”. As Thich Nhat Hanh has said, “When you learn how to suffer well, you suffer much less.”
As an Ayurvedic health counselor and holistic healing practitioner, I endeavor to show my clients ways to reconnect with their bodies through holistic healing modalities and spiritual exploration. I provide deep, compassionate listening, and reflect each client’s heart as they share their vulnerabilities with me along their healing journeys.
As a bodyworker & Reiki practitioner, I offer a doorway to deep attention to subtle energy awareness. As clients receive gentle bodywork during sessions, they will build tolerance to quiet moments, and open their hearts and minds to greater possibilities for healing and connection with the Universe.
Menu of Services
Bodywork & Energy Healing
In-office, hands-on, massage, and energy healing. During each session I connect deeply with the client and allow my intuition to guide me to areas where energy has become stagnant resulting in pain and tension. I employ various methods & modalities to release these patterns, and clients feel relief and relaxation immediately.
