Throughout my youth and young adulthood I experienced years of debilitating chronic migraines, TMJ and neck pain that greatly altered the path of my life. I became deeply depressed and went into extreme social isolation. It was through this experience that I eventually went through an awakening and found body work and later energy healing. Although I recognize that every person's journey into health is individual and unique, it is my passion and joy to practice and share the potential benefits Energy Work has to offer with others.
My training and certification includes Reiki and Reconnective Healing (energy healing that works off the body or "distance" healing) with originator, Dr. Eric pearl. I worked under close mentorship with Advanced Energy Healer, Pippa Cherniavsky, from November 2005 to June 2006. Through this mentorship, I learned clairvoyant scanning, chakra psychology and inner-child work. Most recently, I have also completed levels 1 and 2 in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and the Teacher Training Program in UZAZU: The Language of Energy. The UZAZU training included levels 1, 2 and 3 and a 20 day intensive teacher training program which was taught by the orginator of UZAZU, Dylan Newcomb.
I work at Sourcepoint Shiatsu Centre in Vancouver, BC and am teaching energy-based Meditation classes in various locations across Vancouver (please see my "Workshops" page for more details). I am also a volunteer for the wellness program at the Vancouver Friends For Life Society, a non-profit organization that caters to people with life-threatening illness.
