My Story.

I began learning about health, nutrition, medicine and music as a toddler from my parents and older siblings in their diverse careers in both allopathic and holistic medicine. Interest in health and medicine just runs in our blood. I have always been a keen listener and observer and was aware of my intuitive gifts for as long as I can remember. However, I shifted course from my family and was drawn towards physics which led me into engineering.

I wasn’t too far into the Civil Engineering program at UVA before I began my own journey as a healer. I saw a flyer for the Virginia School of Massage in my college town of Charlottesville, VA and decided to go to massage and engineering schools simultaneously and see where my career would lead me. Unfortunately, I had an accident cutting off a finger which promptly ended the possibility of a career in massage therapy. So I thought!  I graduated in engineering and became a part of a world class team of environmental engineers cleaning up nuclear/hazardous waste sites in the Superfund program in the EPA. Then I moved into land development, construction and park and recreation facility development. Wanting to add a little creativity to my engineering work, I attended graduate school in landscape design at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and discovered my love of plants.  After relocating to Colorado in 2006, I took some time off to stay at home with my three young children. I looked back and realized that there had been a void in my work and I wanted something even greater, some kind of service that would fulfill my heart and mind.

I remembered that long lost dream of becoming a massage therapist and my finger had healed over the years. In 2010, I went back to massage school for the second time at the Massage Therapy Institute of Colorado. I became a licensed massage therapist and launched my new career in the healing arts, incorporating sound healing, crystal healing, energy healing and aromatherapy in my sessions from the beginning.

It was not until I stepped into the field of healing that I began to understand and start to heal my own core issues from a very different perspective. I have experienced trauma and illness at the deepest levels. I have survived two comas against all odds (and remember being on the other side), had meningitis three times, countless car accidents that seemed impossible to have walked out alive, and have had more blows to the head than imaginable. Just because I was alive and a fully functional, responsible adult, I thought I was good. I didn’t realize that I was actually only just beginning my own healing journey when I launched my new career.

Connecting with Wisdom of the Earth essential oils in the more recent years unexpectedly brought so much long-time knowledge and my interests full circle. I feel like I was given the gift of my own unique medicine bag upon coming to work with the essences. I began to relate to the essences as vibratory frequencies that adapt and shift in the body to carry the messages required for healing. And the “Aha” moments started coming more and more.

My biggest passion in life has always been dance. For me, dance is about connecting to music. Music is simply vibration and vibration is energy. No wonder I understood physics so easily, because physics is simply the study of energy. No wonder I relate to the essences as simply vibration. No wonder I have always felt so comfortable in nature, because to me nature is simply a dance to the rhythm of our natural elements interacting in harmony together. The wind, the waters tumbling and flowing from the mountaintops down the rivers and into oceans, the steady pulse of the earth and the passion of fires provide the rhythm. The cycle of life of all living creatures on earth is simply a dance to the natural rhythms created by the flow of the elements.

It was unexpected that when I truly started to dive deep with the essences, I started singing - singing to myself, to the trees, singing in nature. I have come to view singing as a way to participate in creating the music, creating change, expanding into something completely new and unexpected. To my surprise, starting to sing in my most recent years might be even more fun for me than dancing. It is no coincidence that many doctors from our past knew that medicine and music were one in the same. And it will be no surprise that one day vibration and frequency will once again become recognized as the mainstream medicine of our future.

Here I am today, integrating all of my life long experience, knowledge, passion and wisdom to assist others in a very different way than I though it would look. Humbled over and over again myself, I have the utmost compassion for everyone on their journeys. True more and more each day, healing is the unwinding of everything you thought you knew.
