Hello and welcome!
Cultivating life… through presence, authenticity, creativity, and trust.
Healing Sessions On the Farm
I work within many modalities that really all have the same roots — a sensitivity toward energy.
Energy is everything within us and around us. It’s all of the “unseen” stuff that interacts with our lives in very profound ways.
So, what’s my training and life experience?
I’ve learned most of what I’ve come to understand about humans, and myself, through being with and working around horses. I’m also a certified Sound Healer and an Equine Specialist who works with people for growth and learning. I was certified with EAGALA (Equine Growth and Learning Association) in 2009. I attended the Academy for Coaching with Horses in Colorado and trained with Kathy Pike through Level 2 of her program. I’ve also studied Biofield Tuning through Eileen Day McKusick’s Biofield Tuning workshops and courses. I’ve worked as a Montessori elementary teacher after attending graduate school and studying Montessori education. I also have a BS in Computer Science and have worked as a Software Engineer and currently as a Data Analyst for a small college. I also love movement and dance, and have taken many courses in yoga and qi gong and was a member of a modern dance company years ago.
I’m currently a student of Depth Psychology and Transpersonal Psychology and working on my PhD.
“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”
-Nikola Tesla
My own experience with healing from cancer 20 years ago, brought me into connection with meditation, art therapy, sound healing and biofield tuning, nature healing work, and equine therapy.
The concept of the “biofield” is unfolding in the healing world as an understanding of the science around different types of energy work. For me, this concept has become a unifying idea for much of what I have personally experienced. The word “biofield” describes the body’s electrical system. It is the electrical current that runs through us and the magnetic field around us.
A session with me is a session in clearing of resistance and blocks to greater wellbeing. I create a space of infinite possbilities.
These assumptions generally inform my sessions and workshops:
Each person’s healing looks different.
A spiritual practice is a key part of living life fully.
Coming home to who we truly are, the best version of ourselves, often involves a kind of depprogramming of what the dominant culture has focused on and engrained in us.
You can let go of patterns of being that block your happiness and often then allow the expansion and growth that your soul is seeking.
The most powerful impact you can have on your life is to let go of the reigns and align with divine energy.
Our bodies hold messages and learning to tune in is important to any healing and growth toward living fully.
Love is always greater than fear.
More Love
My life became forever an exercise in discovering more Love and well being when I was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 34. A journey through traditional medical treatments of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation and also more unconventional aspects of Integrative Medicine such as yoga, meditation, journaling, massage therapy, sound healing, and art therapy became my healing path. And, horses. These mystical beings are forever a part of my soul.
Art Journaling
Another powerful part of my personal healing journey has been art journaling.
This practice is almost like a form of prayer, a contemplative tool that allows you to explore your inner world and process it gently and at your own self-directed pace.
My introduction to art journaling happened many years ago with an online course! It was a new idea to me — using paint and brushes and paper and words...just whatever felt right to bring together on the page. The end result was not the goal.
The process and the journey was everything.
“It became a spiritual act for me…”
I set up my base-camp at my kitchen table. I began altering books as art journals, documenting what was transpiring in this non-physical part of me. This practice helped get me through a very challenging time in my life as I realized I had to end my 22 year marriage.
It become a spiritual act for me and helped me become brave in a part of my world where I had never been brave before.
An Infinite Journey
The joy is in the journey.
And we’re on a journey where there is no end and the whole purpose is greater joy.
