My Backgroud
~ HEALTH THERAPIES~
Learning massage was my first step into health care, and I loved working intuitively and developed a meditative style of massage. In studying Physiology and Anatomy, I was in awe of the everyday miracles taking place in our bodies without us directing them. I often wondered what if we could consciously tap into this perfectly designed system in a way that directed the body and/or mind towards healing? During this time I began to try this out with myself, and had profound and significant results.
I knew at this point that my life path would be devoted to the exploration of the mind-body-spirit connection, both everyday and “miraculous” events. I was able to be part of spontaneous healings, my own and others – all resulting in positive physical changes. I now realize that physical healing is the result of spiritual transformation, and that spiritual shifts do not always lead to physical changes. I am fascinated with our human capacity for healing on emotional and mental levels, as well as physical.
In addition to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Masters in Nursing, I acquired a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I continue to appreciate Western Medicine while learning and practicing alternative pathways for healing through mind, body and spirit connection. I have seen that western and alternative approaches, when utilized together, generally provide more effective treatment. This makes total sense, since we are beings that simultaneously exist at all levels - mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. I feel compelled to and rewarded by the ability to blend medication management with psychotherapy, energy medicine, and various mind-body approaches.
