Healing Resources to Serve You 

Ayurveda teaches how to live a balanced, healthy life & promote longevity. Your history gives us clues to imbalances and where they came from. Pulse reading allows us to tune in to imbalance and then treat it before it solidifies into a more physical form.  Treatments include lifestyle, dietary, herbal, marma, and purification techniques. Ayurveda knowledge informs all my work with clients, even if not the main focus you choose, since it helps personalize care, making it more effective.

Maya Abdominal Therapy (traditional techniques from Belize) promotes the flow of blood, lymph, nerve & energy for abdominal organs & body as a whole. Special techniques for pregnancy are available. 

Energy Work includes Marma point work, Reiki & Flower Essence Therapy.

Foot reflexology helps balance organs of the body through massage to the feet.

Midwifery was my life for years and is ingrained in my practice, even though I am not registered any longer and don’t attend births. I especially enjoy supporting families in achieving healthy pregnancy, birth and postpartum .
