Growing up in Colorado, I came from an avid outdoor family.  I was always enthralled by the resilience of the human body,  After graduating from Colorado State with a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies I worked in preschools with young children on and off for over 10 years.  I began practicing Yoga in my late 20’s and picked up meditation a few years after that.  In 2009 I was diagnosed with a heart condition that caught me by surprise.  I was in heart failure.  I traveled down the road Allopathic medicine offered and did not find any solutions (including an unsuccessful heart procedure).  I felt strongly that there was another way to heal, that my body, my heart was speaking up so I could find a new way forward.  I committed to exploring other avenues of well Be-ing and vitality. 

In 2011, I began my journey into Ayurvedic Medicine at the Chopra Center.  I was able to receive treatment as well as an introductory education to the dietary and lifestyle concepts.  In 2014, I moved to Asheville to further my study of Ayurveda at The Asheville School of Massage and Yoga.  I am a Certified Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor and a professional member of  NAMA (National Ayurvedic Medical Association).  As my knowledge base grew within the Holistic healing field, so did my curiosity and intrigue as to how I can be of service to people.  I became a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist from the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy in 2019.  During this process I also studied Integrative Craniosacral Therapy as well as Pre/PostNatal Massage.  I have studied Marma Point Therapy under Dr. Vasant Lad at the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, NM and I’m currently mentoring under Jessica Mark in the wonderful ways of Ortho-Bionomy. 

 This journey continues to lead me deeper into the ways in which we are able to help heal ourselves and others.  I enjoy working with people who are committed to their health, who are curious about wellness and who desire change.  I am passionate about finding the best way to meet you where you’re at, on your path.  I am here to assist you on the journey, to help your body, mind, and spirit remember what it means to Thrive.
