Nice to meet you.
If you're not feeling your best self, I know what you are going through. I have navigated and healed from Lyme disease, autoimmunity, long COVID, and joint replacements. I know pain. I know uncertainty. And I know what it takes to restore balance. Through Ayurveda and plant medicine, I found true healing and I look forward to sharing this knowledge and experience with you.
My natural medicine training began in 1995 with Western herbalism in Herefordshire, UK, followed by studies in homeopathy and flower essences in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and Maori healing in New Zealand. I have practiced folk herbal medicine and natural healing for over 30 years. I have been blessed with amazing teachers and mentors and give thanks to Alison Bastien, Paul Richards, DeAnna Batdorff, Beatrise Wright, & Dr. Lad.
I completed intensive clinical training as an Ayurveda Practitioner, deepening my work with constitutional analysis, digestion, inflammation, detoxification pathways, and daily therapeutic routines. I fell in love with Ayurveda and I can't wait to share it with you. Ayurveda believes each person is completely unique in their own constitution and rhythm, Dosha and Gunas. Ayurveda believes true healing happens when we deepen our connection and understanding with who we truly are as unique and beautiful humans all with our own story, and come into balance by working with the opposite element.
I focus on digestive health, liver function, lymphatic flow/immune balance, and inflammatory patterns. I work with reading the pulse and relying primarily on plant medicine and routine to restore harmony.
I learned that if a lymph vessel gets clogged it will develop a new pathway, a new stream in your lymph river. If you feel stuck and ready to find new streams, I would be delighted to work with you.
