About Me!
I am a true So Cal girl. Although born in a small town in southern Alberta Canada, California is my home. I grew up playing every sport I could. In high school, I settled into water polo where I received the All American award at Junior Nationals. Going on to play in college was a dream of mine and was grateful for the opportunity to play with the UCI Anteaters. I went on to graduate from the University of California, Irvine with a Bachelors in Psychology, where I developed a strong interest in the mind body connection. I spent several years working in the field of Physical Therapy, where I observed a clear and consistent relationship between mental and physical health. After a few years living in Oregon and Australia, my husband and I felt Southern California was the perfect place to raise our 6 kids.
My Family
I feel deeply grateful to be married to my best friend. After more than 21 years together, our love has continued to grow as we’ve built a meaningful life and family side by side. Our six children keep our home full of energy, joy, and constant activity. As a family, we enjoy camping, spending time at the beach, traveling, playing games, and supporting our children in their various athletic and musical pursuits. Each of them brings a unique light to our lives.
We are intentional about instilling in them a love for life, a sense of hope, and the belief that they have the ability to create a meaningful and fulfilling future for themselves.
Personally, I find joy in staying active and connected to the outdoors. I enjoy pickleball, cooking, reading, cycling, traveling, and, most of all, spending quality time with my family.
My Work
Approximately ten years ago, I reached a pivotal point in my life. At the time, we were raising four young children, all under the age of seven, and had just learned we would be welcoming a fifth child that spring. My husband was working long hours and was deeply committed to our church, while I was managing the demands of homeschooling and caring for our growing household with limited support. We were doing our best to build a life in our beautiful beach community—one that, from the outside, appeared ideal. Yet internally, I felt overwhelmed and unfulfilled.
This experience became the catalyst for a deeper journey inward. I began exploring what was happening within my body, noticing how physical responses were often tied to underlying emotional triggers. Over time, I cultivated a greater sense of awareness—learning to observe rather than react, and to connect physical sensations with their emotional roots. Through this process, I reclaimed a sense of personal empowerment, addressing the root causes of discomfort and releasing limiting beliefs that no longer served me.
After years of dedicated self-study in energy, emotional patterns, and the mind-body connection, I felt called to pursue Intuitive Craniosacral Therapy training with Andrea Carver at Andrea Wellness. This program aligned seamlessly with both my life experience and my intuitive and spiritual strengths, as well as my desire to support others in their own healing journeys.
In the summer of 2024, I graduated from the program, and six months later, I completed her Master Class certification, gaining training in over fifteen modalities. Today, I integrate these approaches to support clients as they reconnect with their innate capacity for healing and personal transformation.
I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the profound impact emotions have on our overall well-being. All physical experiences are influenced by underlying emotional patterns and energetic imbalances. Through Intuitive Craniosacral Therapy, I guide you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom and restoring your natural state of balance. Together, we work to release outdated thought patterns, stored emotional tension, and limiting beliefs that can contribute to imbalance and dis-ease. This process includes supporting the alignment of the body’s energy centers, often referred to as chakras, helping you gain clarity, renew your sense of purpose, and reconnect with your authentic self. True wellness is achieved through the harmonious integration of mind, body, and spirit.
If you feel called to step into greater alignment and well-being, I invite you to begin your journey today.
