In my quest to learn more about how our body works and how to heal it I have studied many healing modalities. In Garberville, California I was fortunate enough to study at perhaps the best massage school in America, Heartwood Institution. There I would take a deep immersion into Swedish, Deep Tissue, Cranial Sacral, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Acupressure, Reflexology and Sports Therapy… I think that is all of them? I also studied Thai massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand and Aquacranial Therapy™ with Rebecca Goff on Maui, Hawaii.

I have studied with Tai Chi and Qigong masters. Spent some time practicing Dahn Hak and met Dr. Ilchi Lee who personally asked me to become a disciple; which I kindly refused… I have my own path, thank you!  Having been a practicing yogi since 1996, I consider myself fortunate to have studied Yogalign™ directly from Michaelle Edwards on Kaua’i, and becoming a certified instructor. 

I have taken a deep dive into energy healing through Reiki, studying Hands of Light™ with Barbara Ann Brennan, and introduced to Mayan Shamanism with Aumrak in Lago de Atitlán, Guatemala. And perhaps most blessed with being a patient of the legendary Dr. Viola Frymann, founder of the Osteopathic Center in San Diego, for a number of formative years.
