“What was happening in your life back then?”

No one had ever asked me that. For years, the same painful problem had come back almost every month. Treatment helped for a while, then it returned.

This practitioner, trained in both Eastern and Western medicine, asked anyway. And a time I had buried since I was 17 came rushing back.

My body hadn’t forgotten. It had been holding that stress all along. After that day, the flare-ups became rare.

Years later, life got heavy all at once. My relationship, my home, my work. Then my health. My body started speaking up in new ways, and some days I didn’t recognize it.

Specialists helped, and I’m grateful. But each one saw a single piece of me.

So I went looking for the rest of the picture. Acupuncture. Yoga nidra. Somatic movement. Massage. And Ayurveda, which gave me a way to see the patterns, and how my body, mind and emotions were all part of one story.

That’s my work now. I listen to your whole story and notice what your body may be holding. Then we build a plan that fits your life, and when someone else can help, I bring them in. So your care finally works as one.

I’m a certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor, trained over two years and 600 hours at Shakti School, and a 200-hour certified Yoga and Meditation Teacher (Samyama). I bring that foundation, my training in intuitive readings, and supportive practices to our work together. I listen to your full story, help you explore how things may connect, and create a practical plan you can live with. When another practitioner’s expertise is needed, I help you see how that care fits into the bigger picture.

Little by little, you come back to yourself. That’s what ‘give yourself butterflies’ means to me: falling in love with yourself again, starting with how you care for your body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
