Alternative Therapist
I recall becoming aware of my relationship with health at a very young age, while during the promise of summer between my transition to highschool I became bedridden for months on end.
At times unable to eat or sleep, I spent the next year of my life being shuffled between medical professionals and undergoing a surplus of tests and surgeries, eventually revealing my body had been infiltrated with Endometriosis, Interstitial Cystitis, and a bad habit of producing Kidney Stones.
Though I was made aware through the physical experience and the constant pokes and prods by medical professionals that I was “not healthy”, I was seldom made aware of anything I could do to remedy my conditions aside from continued surgical and mediated interventions. Less than satisfied with my “chronic” diagnoses, I spent my remaining teen years spiraling into depression and riddled with anxiety.
Motivated to find a solution to the complexities I was experiencing, I began to immerse myself in psychology and found hope exploring healing in new ways.
I continued expanding my understanding of the variables between mental health and physical wellbeing, going on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Sociology in 2017 from Portland State University in Oregon.
Upon graduation I dedicated myself to a local Non- Profit counseling agency for children, working closely with parents experiencing a variety of uniquely personal needs for several years.
While searching for ways I might be able to connect and support the individuals I met in a greater capacity, I set about studying Neuro Linguistics and Hypnotherapy in 2019.
Finding myself astounded by the healing power of these alternative therapies I began to explore additional tools for transformation, becoming a certified energy healer in 2020 and dedicating myself full time to supporting others in making powerful shifts within their own unique experiences.
I am committed to continuing my education in alternative healing modalities and am passionate about life long learning, healing, and expansion.
Some of the things that bring me the most joy are animals, amphibians, and exploring the PNW.
