About Me

I have been passionate about alternative healing and metaphysical practices for my whole adult life. I first began learning about some of these practices including herbalism, crystals, astrology, homeopathy and energy healing in the late 90's. In 2001 I decided to enroll in a healing arts school in Santa Cruz, California, where I was living at the time. It was at this time that I received my first and second degree Reiki Certification, along with my Essential Oil Practitioner Certificate. I was working at an Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine college at the time, and I loved being immersed in a culture of alternative and holistic therapies.

​

It was during this time that I had intuitive glimpses into my far off future. I dreamt of having a holistic practice that would combine all the knowledge and wisdom that I began in my early 20's, and have continued to learn over the course of my life.

 

But, like all of us, I had to have some major life experiences first, because that's where the learning is right?! :)

​

I got married, had a beautiful baby girl, moved our little family from California to the Midwest (Arkansas), and found myself working for many years in a western medical diagnostic clinic. I worked there for 7 years, feeling very unfulfilled and unempowered, in work and in my personal life.

 

My life experience continued with a job layoff, the ending of a codependent marriage, and moving back to my home state of California. After getting settled into my new stage of life, I knew I was ready to finally pursue the dream that began in my early 20’s.

 

In 2018, I completed my Reiki Master/Teacher Certification course and became certified in Animal Reiki and Crystal Reiki. I received my Professional Life Coach Certification as well. I quit my 9-5 job and on June 1st, 2018 I launched my practice, Awaken To Healing.

​

In 2022, again following strong intuitive guidance, I moved from CA to the Tampa Bay Area of Florida, where I have been ever since then. I absolutly love where I live and the sprititual commuinty and friends that I have aligned with.

 

Since I began my practice in 2018 it has been amazing to work for myself, doing the work I am so passionate about, the work I love to do! Over the years I have assisted hundreds of clients and always enjoy seeing their energy shift immediately after a session. I have taught many classes, lead circles and hosted workshops, and I love seeing the growth and transformation of the students and participants during our times together. 

 

In 2023, I began taking an Intuitive Acrylic Painting class in Dunedin FL ,and since then have come back to the inner artist that had been buried deep inside for many years. That has been a total joy and I have created many art pieces or "art activations" over the years. It has been so exciting to step more into my role as an artist and to take steps on my path as an art teacher so others can experience this joy of creativity as well.

​

My goal is to empower everyone I work with to feel good in their lives, to feel confident, healthy, strong and feel that they too are living a life of their dreams, a life they can feel fulfilled and passionate about!
