"Through the beautiful and sometimes difficult experience of raising my three children, I have been opened to a holistic and transformative way of being. Finding and maintaining my center has not always been easy - and as many know, parenting will bring up your deepest wounds, heartache, and pain. I had to find ways to heal not only my persistent body pain, but also my mind and trauma patterns; so that I could be the most radiant person I needed to be for myself, my tiny humans, and my family.
I love being a Craniosacral Therapist. There is no modality like it that combines both the anatomical and the metaphysical. I get to satiate my science mind through an osteopathic approach to the body whilst finding deeper and longer lasting healing by connecting with the quantum forces that hold imbalanced patterns in the first place. I love sharing my mind and my heart with clients so that they too can find their most easeful and pain-free way to show up in this world.
My family and I live near Ellicott city, on a seven acre farm with Patapsco State Park as our backyard. We raise chickens, garden, and try to live as supported by nature as possible. I knew the healing and grounding feel of my farm would be the best place for my craniosacral therapy practice. My partner and I spent the whole summer of 2022 building a studio space - and I couldn't be more impressed with the healing magic it now offers. I particularly like that my clients with infants don't have to worry about being in a large wellness studio with germs, harmful plants, or fearful of their baby making lots of noise - we are by ourselves, surrounded only by beautiful land and can take up as much space and noise as we want.
That goes for adults too!
I'm deeply honored to practice a truly transformative modality that allows expansion into the health of you - underneath all stress, ailments, and pathologies. "
