ABOUT

In 2008, I became a Certified Ingham Method Reflexologist through the International Institute of Reflexology (IIR), and in 2009, I became a Board Certified Reflexologist through the American Reflexology Certification Board (ARCB). I went on to build a thriving private practice in Oakland, Reflexology Wellness, where I supported clients for five years before my son was born. I was also fortunate to study with the late Dwight Byers, nephew of Eunice Ingham--who originated modern reflexology. In 2015–2016, I had the honor of serving as President of the Reflexology Association of California (RAC).

When I became a mom, reflexology became one of my favorite tools for supporting my children's health. It helped ease earaches, speed recovery from colds, and calm their little bodies before bedtime.

But my kids seemed to get sick all the time and getting them to take medicine or supplements was a battle I rarely won. Then, my son started having persistent nighttime fears, developed random hives, and began fighting kindergarten drop-off every morning. I felt completely at a loss. I wanted to find a holistic solution that worked for my children and felt aligned with our family -- something that didn't just soothe symptoms, but got to the root of what was really going on.

That's when my Reiki instructor introduced me to the Global Energy Method. As my children received distance energy healing sessions and gently released layers of unprocessed emotions—including inherited and absorbed energies from me and my husband—I began seeing positive shifts. My kids stopped getting sick as frequently, my son's bedtime fears subsided, his hives disappeared, and he happily walked into school.

Later, when I developed lower back and sciatic pain, I experienced the benefits firsthand—not only did the pain resolve, but I also found myself standing more confidently in my power. I was blown away by this incredible energy healing method!

I felt called to become master certified in the Global Energy Method—not only to continue supporting my own family, but to be able to give other mamas the same experience of relief that I had felt when I discovered this incredible method. I was inspired to help mamas and their kiddos find balance, peace, and wholeness.

The power of the Global Energy Method was further confirmed to me when I was able to help my son avoid ear tube surgery. He'd been struggling with hearing loss due to fluid in his inner ears because of eustachian tube dysfunction. After several distance energy healing sessions, his hearing recovered, and three doctors confirmed that he no longer had fluid in his ears. 

As I continued doing distance energy healing sessions for my children, I realized that their well-being is intricately connected to my husband's and my well-being. I could see patterns and burdens being passed down over generations. I knew I had to deepen my own healing journey and honor my inner child—so that I could show up more fully as the parent that I aspired to be.

Energy healing has allowed me to more easily regulate my nervous system so that I can parent from a place of intention and not reaction. It has strengthened my self-worth, self-confidence, boundaries, self-compassion, and self-love.

As I continued my own healing journey and pursued my trauma-informed practitioner certification, I began to recognize how the effects of trauma had touched me, my immediate family, and my extended family in different ways. While we are still on our own healing journeys, I've experienced how valuable these modalities have been for us—and I feel called to help other families heal the effects of trauma, too. My hope is to reduce suffering and help families experience the peace, happiness, and fulfillment we all deserve.

The blessing of being an energy healing practitioner is that it continually calls me deeper into my own healing. Being a Reiki practitioner invites me to release anger, regularly clear my energy field, and nourish my chakras through Reiki. Through the Global Energy Method, I continue to release limiting beliefs and negative energies so that I can strengthen my intuition, raise my vibration, and serve my clients from a place of greater alignment—and as a more receptive vehicle of divine light and healing. 

This path has also expanded my understanding of the sacred nature of this work and deepened my connection with Divine Source Energy. What began as a search to help my children became a transformational journey of my own healing and growth—and the calling that is now my life's work.
