WELCOME LOVELY! I will be YOUR GUIDE during this journey. Rather you are at home or at The Retreat, we will be CONNECTING. I look forward to sharing my gifts and guidance with you. One of my deepest callings has been to help others feel fully present, comfortable and empowered in their bodies.

I remember when I felt I couldn't speak up, when the weight of life seemed so heavy I couldn’t breathe, when I felt stuck, when I deeply knew something had to change and this led me on the path to guide others into full embodiment, heart connection, a deep sense of peace and discovering their self love. Activate your COMPASSION with me. The world shifts and it can be easier.

Credentialed in Usui Reiki, Massage Therapy, Shaman Jaguar Lineage and Instructor for SAH METHOD - Somatic Activated Healing Method. I started my journey of healing modalities 20 years ago.

My personal story is extraordinary in the ways I’ve had to overcome the struggles I faced with life: childhood trauma, grief due to death, teen pregnancy, a loved one of an addict, loving someone with a mental illness and the daily grind of moving forward. Not to mention where I grew up historically is filled with so much heaviness & abuse… in polarity to the magnificence of the beautiful breath taking land I am from: Alaska & Pacific North West.

By my late 20s I started to realize how many others did not know how to keep their balance and recenter themselves in times of struggle, to give themselves the power to reenergize, let go and live the life they want: TO STAY ON THE PATH. Beginning in my pre-teens I’ve reached out to many modalities such as: counseling, self-development courses, self-help books, motherhood, professional licenses, certifications, healing retreats and personal experience that finds me here now to you.

I started holding healing circles first and then one on one mentoring. Choosing a career of Reiki and massage has helped me to cultivate a calm & comforting essence. It is within the gentle, powerful space I am able to hold that souls feel safe to REBIRTH THE YOU that may have gotten disconnected through painful stories, life struggles and hardship. Together we co-regulate the nervous system allowing for spaciousness and healing.

EMPATHIC MASSAGE THERAPY AND BREATHWORK

Finding flow in busy messy midlife! I will will be your Guide during the RETREAT TO PARADISE.

As a massage practitioner for 20 years I’ve been aware of authenticity as the most valuable of human traits.

The ability to stay flexible and adaptable as the barrage of changes, choices, chaos and bliss descend all around us is not for the timid! There is boldness to grabbing onto our traits and habits that keep us safe, relaxed and peaceful.

It is REBELLIOUS to take control of our perspectives and wrangle the lessons and healing available in each situation.

A joyous life is a LIFEBOAT to others struggling as we all do at times!

It is a courage act to smile at strangers, to embrace our own and others bountiful imperfections, and stand up for each other.

I’m here to say that Dreams do come true!

What we focus on truly does expand!

What will you do with this one precious life?

Let’s play in a true RETREAT TO PARADISE

It is time to reflect on where independence and interdependence need balance in your life.

HAKU AND HULA WITH TRADITIONAL HAWAIIAN STORY

Haku means to me freedom to make something that makes me happy and smile. Makes me feel closer to the land that provides for my ohana(family).

Hula brings joy and love into my life that I am proud to have my culture bring to light from starting as a beginner to just showing people that you can find love no matter where your culture lies. For all cultures, there is a way to show your love. An mines is hula an making leis and haku.

CEREMONIAL CACAO HONORING THE GREAT MOTHER

Ceremonial cacao has become a pillar in my life ever since I began my journey almost 3 years ago. Cacao supported me to kick my coffee habit, helped with my menstrual cycle symptoms, & showed me the power of working with plant medicines in a profound way. I love sharing the magic of cacao with others because I know cacao is here to awaken the heart of humanity.
