In the decades I have spent supporting individuals through various healing journeys, in clinical and private settings, I have discovered that the loss of connection with what feeds us on all levels of body/mind/spirit is a major root cause of the dominant pathologies we face.
Most of us are suffering somewhere along the vast spectrum of chronic inflammatory conditions with seemingly few to no solutions. We try multiple diets, supplements, healers and practices to fix what’s broken and find answers for the symptoms that haunt our days. This seeking, as valid as it is, can keep us stuck in a disease loop.
If you are here you are likely hanging by a thread of that seeking rope. Yet, you keep going, because you love your life, you know deep down that the imbalance you feel has more texture than the fear and pain that dominate the space where your deeper wisdom lives.
I know that we have the answers within us and that healing is always happening because change, life’s desire for equilibrium and evolution are constant.
As Your Guide…
We will explore the life story that your body is trying to tell through your symptoms. We will attempt to build a bridge back to trusting your relationship with what feeds you on all levels.
I may or may not recommend dietary protocols. If I do it will be through a lens of inclusion rather than restriction. We will talk about food because how you feed yourself and why is a gateway to tremendous healing in other areas of your life.
Food is medicine is Love. How can you reclaim that wisdom for yourself again? (See link below)
Sessions together can include meal time support so that we can work with the material directly as you face nourishing yourself and all that it can bring to the surface.
We will be slow and deeply attuned to what is present to weave a basket of personal healing tools for you to be in better relationship with the health challenges your life has handed you to tend.
If you are working with doctors, and other supportive practitioners, I help you integrate all of the incoming messages, while encouraging the often daunting daily practice of showing up for yourself.
My work flows through a spiritual lens that looks at, and includes, the whole rather than the parts. I treat our time together as a ceremonial experience with great reverence for all that I/we do not know so that solutions can emerge from places beyond our minds trying to “figure it out”. Prayer is medicine in my world.
I honor your path, your story, your beliefs, your wisdom and PRIVACY above all else. I am here to reflect your innate goodness, not project that I have a magic answer for you. And you are here seeking the wisdom I walk with. Take what serves you. Be discerning. Ask questions. Give feedback. I am human.

PLEASE READ: Food is Love
~Abundance~
It’s like this
there lives a spring for your thirst
where your parched lips around Her waters
turns Her body on to make more honey
and your desolated heart becomes soft ground
Others will catch the scent of satiation in the air
They will come to the mouth of abundance to drink
When your body tightens around old fears
of losing your free flowing treasure
-remember-
your mother’s breast
an unsung maiden well until your cries for Love
set in motion a spiral of miracles turning
the Wheel of Life
upon which the codex of reciprocity is inscribed
And in one line of this ancient scripture
you will find your Name
