Feel like yourself again.

Whole-person support for your mind, body and emotions, with a plan designed for you.

On paper you’re fine.
In your body, you’re not.

You’re exhausted all day, then wired at bedtime. Your belly bloats. Your skin flares. You snap at the people you love. Or nothing is exactly wrong. You’ve just lost your spark, you feel stuck, and you can’t make the decision in front of you.

Your labs come back “normal,” but you don’t feel like yourself. You’ve tried appointments, supplements, and doing all the “right” things. You’re still piecing it together on your own.

You want someone to listen to the whole story and help you see how it all connects.

A place to start listening

I work with women navigating poor sleep, digestive discomfort, low energy, mood changes, skin concerns, feeling stuck or unmotivated, losing their spark, and big life changes. You may have one persistent concern or several that seem unrelated. We’ll take the time to look at the fuller picture.

Why work with me

Finally,
someone who
sees all of you.

You’ve been to the appointments. One person looks at your sleep, another at your gut, another at your mood. But you’re the one living with all of it, and you’re tired of feeling unseen and unheard.

I listen to your whole story, because what you carry emotionally can show up in your body too. Drawing on Ayurveda and intuitive readings, I look at your body, mind, emotions, and spirit together, help you see how the pieces may connect, and create a written plan with practical steps for your life.

I stay with you as you put it into practice, adjusting the plan together and bringing in other practitioners when their expertise would help. Keep the doctors you trust. I’ll be a steady guide who helps you hold the whole picture.

YOUR BODY KEEPS THE STORY
Your body holds what your mind hasn't named yet.
A tight jaw. A knot in your stomach. A heaviness you can't explain. Sometimes it's food or sleep. Sometimes it's a season of your life you never had time to feel.
I help you notice what your body is holding, understand what it may mean for you, and decide what to do next. Gently, at your pace, alongside the care you already have.

“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.
No one thing turned it around. Putting the pieces together did.
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.
