As a clinical herbalist and massage therapist, I've been working with plant medicines and healing modalities for the last 15 years. I am very dedicated to the healing arts. I use reverence and reciprocity in all of my plant offerings. All products are handmade, small batch and made with love.
In 2008 I lived in Thailand for 1yr completing Traditional Thai Massage and Reflexology programs at ITM- International Training Massage School, in Chiang Mai. I also was a student in their sister school, Spa Mantra. I learned many traditional Thai healing arts and spa modalities that I still offer and incorporate into my sessions. Tok-Sen, Thai Herbal Compress and more!
I completed a 600hr Massage Practitioner Program at SFSM- San Francisco School of Massage and Bodywork in 2016. This was a clinical program with a focus on anatomy and body mechanics. Through this program I learned many modalities such as Ortho-bionomy, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Lymphatic and different positions such as Side Lying for pregnancy massage. I offer all of these modalities and incorporate them typically into one session making it more balanced for my clients.
I completed the Vitalist Herbalist Practitioner Program in 2022 with the School of Evolutionary Herbalism in Oregon. This advanced program uses Eastern principles of assessing ailments and allowing our clients to return back into their true vitality using plant medicines, lifestyle changes, sleep therapy practices and much more! These methods are a format for my consultations and assessment criteria.
I work very closely by committing to extensive diets with specific plants in the Amazon Jungle of Peru. I train and learn from Shamans that assign different Master Plants to diet, commune and gain a relationship with. I have allowed these Master Plant Dietas to be a major source of inspiration and learning in my healing work. This is very personal and a big part of my education and personal healing journey. I have taken part in 6 Shamanic Initiations and carry this medicine in the daily work that I do.
I am a Breast Cancer survivor. It's been 10 years since I went through that huge, life changing experience. During that time I learned so much about the human body, plant medicines and healing modalities. I used all of our tools available. I worked closely with Plant Medicines, MMJ, essential oils, keeping an alkaline/plant based diet, and meditation with affirmations. This experience has allowed me to help my clients on their healing journey in a completely different way. I have learned to have unconditional trust and use the power of divine timing. This experience has felt like Rites of Passage and I have used transmutation and transformation as virtues. I maintain a very active spiritual life and keep daily practices that have shaped me.
