My Story

As a wife, mother, and grandmother, my life is deeply enriched by my family. For many years, my passion for horses has shaped my journey, imparting invaluable lessons that have guided me to this point. Along the way, I've faced injuries and health challenges that have redirected my path, but I truly empathize with the desire to feel your best, cherish moments with loved ones, and have the energy to engage in the activities that bring you joy. 

As a  former horse trainer, I encountered numerous injuries throughout my career. I discovered Somatic movement education had the most profound impact on my body, not only providing relief from pain, but also improving my balance, coordination, range of motion and strength. After seeing the effects on my own body and improvements in my riding, I enrolled in the 3 year Clinical Somatics training program in 2015.

 

I knew I wanted to share this knowledge with others and started doing sessions with my own riding students. I love teaching others how muscle tension patterns appear and providing them with the techniques they can use to get and keep themselves out of pain. Somatics is not just for riders, but anyone who wants to remain active and move freely, whether that is enjoying your garden, golfing, or walking on the beach. 


In 2016, after having my appendix removed and receiving a pacemaker, I discovered Eden Energy Medicine. It felt as though the universe was urging me to make changes in my life. Eager to explore natural methods for enhancing my healing and embracing a healthier self, I enrolled in the Eden training. The transformation in my health was remarkable. As I progressed in the program, I experienced ongoing improvements, moving from a state of fatigue and overwhelm, grappling with hormonal changes during perimenopause, to experiencing  increased energy, better focus, and a sense of vitality I hadn't felt in years!  The transition to menopause, in recent years, has been smooth, which I attribute to the power of this work. 

I believe stress plays a major factor in many of the chronic illnesses we see today, such as autoimmune diseases, cancer, heart issues, and various  women's health issues. As an Advanced Eden Energy Medicine practitioner, I greatly enjoy assisting people who are wanting to make a change in their health or who would like to learn more tools to maintain their health as they age. I also love guiding women of all ages as they navigate  through the hormonal changes they experience. 

 

In my work with clients,  I've  discovered the powerful benefits  of combining Energy Medicine and Somatics to help ease pain, reduce muscle tension, calm stress, and even release stored emotions from the body. While on holiday one year I broke my ankle after my horse spooked. I used both Somatics and Energy work to heal from the injury, address the emotions that came afterward,  and to get myself back in the saddle much quicker than the doctors thought I would. I am truly thankful to my journey and the knowledge I have gained. 

Everyone has a unique healing path. I am excited to connect with you and assist you in achieving your health and wellness goals.
