IT'S MORE THAN A PASSION, IT'S A WAY OF LIFE

 I'm happy you're here. I am a Neuromuscular Release Massage Therapist, Breathwork Master, Craniosacral Practitoner, Yoga instructor and Reiki Master. Practicing in Auburn California. I started this beautiful journey in 2018. Like most of us, I've been through the highs and lows of life. It's not easy and we tend to hold on to unwanted emotions and thoughts. These thoughts and emotions together with injury or repetitive movement can cause us to live in a state of un-ease or dis-ease. We can very easily create emotional patterns that don't align with our ideal life or find ourselves in states of Pain, either chronic or temporary. These are states of life, the journey and growth of life comes when we decide to take steps toward constantly content and pain-free. We have the ability to move and manage our bodies without resistance and dip into all of the different emotions, then let them go and come back to a balanced peace, a self-love and a validation that cannot be shaken because it is generated within ourselves. As a Neuromuscular Release Massage Therapist, I work with my clients to retrain holding patterns in the body, restoring mobility, releasing tension and deescalating states of stress and fatigue. This creats an opportunity to allow our awareness back into the body. Then using the safe rhythmic patterns of Breathwork, the neuro connections between trauma and overwhelming emotions can be released, leaving us with the wisdom of the experience without the overwhelming emotions of the trauma. Craniosacral Therapy and Reiki assist and balance in this process. The movement of Yoga and knowledge of Breathwork allow the client the tools they need to return to peace and move through the trials of life, pain free and emotionally balanced.

My passion lies in giving others the gift I  uncovered, showing them that they have the power to heal themselves and allow, experience and enjoy their emotions. Then let go and consciously drive their life and be in control of the way they experience the world. We don't have to live with all the trauma of our past. We can let it go and enjoy this moment.

      For much of my life, I lived in constant pain. I was diagnosed with Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Hashimoto’s disease and later, a pituitary tumor. For over two decades, I existed in survival mode, managing my symptoms with medication, numbing myself just enough to get through each day. I had lost touch with the essence of who I was.

      Working in the medical field, I began to see the pattern, how often we treat the body as parts and symptoms, rather than a unified whole. Something in me knew there was more to healing than prescriptions and procedures. I began to ask not what was wrong with me, but why.

     Around that time of the pituitary tumor diagnosis, 15 years ago, I found myself drawn to crystals and the unseen world of energy. What began as curiosity became a calling. I started exploring vibration, sound, and intention, how frequency itself could shift energy in the body. Guided by intuition, I began using crystals and energy techniques on myself.

      Over the course of a year, something extraordinary happened: the tumor disappeared. The doctors told me that was impossible, but the scans said otherwise. That moment changed everything I thought I knew about healing.

    As I continued this journey, I learned to feel again the emotions I had buried beneath years of pain, medication, and fatigue. Through that emotional release came lightness, clarity, and vitality. My autoimmune diseases went into remission, my pain faded, and I felt alive in my body for the first time in decades.

     My healing wasn’t a miracle, it was a remembering of what I had always known: that the body holds profound intelligence, and when we listen, it will guide us home.

Today, I hold space for others on their path back to themselves.
    I am a Somatic Therapist, Reiki Master, Lithotherapist, Energy Healer, Vibration Alchemist and NLP Practitioner, blending multiple modalities Somatic experiencing, fascia release, massage, energy healing, vibroacoustic sound therapy, tuning forks, crystals, and intuitive touch to restore the natural flow of energy through the body.

     Each session is a sacred experience guided by intuition, informed by science, and anchored in the wisdom of the body. Together, we identify and release the stored emotions and energy patterns that create imbalance, so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more connected to your essence.  We are not just physical beings we are energy, light, and consciousness woven together.
    When the body, mind, and spirit are in harmony, healing unfolds naturally.

My work bridges modern medicine and holistic wisdom blending the science of the body with the mystery of the soul. Healing is not about fixing what’s broken; it’s about remembering your wholeness, returning to your truth, and awakening the luminous energy that already lives within you.

At the heart of my teaching is the living, breathing practice of Rooting to Rise. I am especially focused and interested in supporting students in first establishing a grounded, rooted presence through their low body which supports and allows for rising through our heart-space and into our higher states of consciousness. I orientate from an extensive background in Hatha yoga, and over 20 years of personal practice. I offer students a dynamic, challenging, yet grounded in

breath practice, that weaves together asana, pranayama and meditation to provide students the opportunity to unite mind in body through the breath and awaken heart-centered consciousness through greater self-awareness.

I am rooting all my offerings through the perspective that we are ultimately Spiritual Beings, having a Human experience.

From an early age, I was fascinated by the stars. As a child, I loved reading daily and weekly horoscopes in the newspaper — they felt like tiny windows into something magical. I was equally intrigued by planets and astronomy, but astrology always had a special pull on my heart.​

​Life, however, took me on a winding path before bringing me back to my true calling. I moved to Canada and become a mother of three, and had  many different careers.  I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was lost. I felt far from where I was supposed to be.

I was introduced to an astrologer through a friend. Out of curiosity, I booked a consultation — and what I experienced changed my life. She was able to see so much about me from my birth chart, things no one could have known. I booked sessions for my husband and children, and with each reading, my conviction grew: astrology was not just fascinating — it was life-changing.

That astrologer told me something that struck deep: my vocation is astrology, and I am meant to help others through it. At first, I doubted myself. Could I really learn something so vast and complex? I decided to take a leap. From the very first lesson, I felt something click — as though a missing piece of my soul had been found.

I’ll never forget doing my very first chart reading for a friend. Seeing the look of recognition, relief, and inspiration on their face filled me with purpose. I knew, without a doubt, that this was my path. I am exactly where I’m meant to be. My soul feels at peace, and I love every moment of helping others through the wisdom of astrology.

Today, I guide people in discovering their passions, uncovering their life callings, and finding alignment in love, career, and purpose. I believe astrology is not just about predicting the future — it is a powerful tool for self-awareness and empowerment. It helps us understand ourselves more deeply, navigate challenges, and make choices that bring us closer to the lives we’re destined to live.

After retiring from the state of California, I began a new chapter focused on healing, growth, and serving others. My life changed when I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that had spread to my spine. The harsh treatment left lasting complications, and soon after I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder Neuromyelitis(NMOSD). Once an avid runner, I was forced to slow down, but in the stillness, I discovered the power of holistic healing, meditation, and yoga. These practices helped me regain strength, mobility, and renewed my sense of purpose. Today, as a Certified Yoga Training Coach, I support others facing their own challenges and believe deeply in the power of natural healing. In my spare time, I love painting, reading and traveling, but my greatest joy is spending time with my husband children and grandchildren.​
