I’ve always wondered if the earth has been trying to teach us something. Not through words, but through seasons. Through forests. Through weathered barns that quietly stand the test of time. Through wildflowers that bloom without asking permission. Through the gentle reminder that nothing in nature ever rushes, and yet everything becomes exactly what it was meant to be.

Growing up on a farm in northern Minnesota, I spent much of my childhood wandering the woods, speaking to trees, befriending animals, and finding peace in the rhythm of the natural world. Though I was the youngest of five, I often felt more at home in the wild than I did anywhere else.

What I didn’t realize then was that nature was becoming my first teacher.

Long before I ever studied yoga, the nervous system, or the healing arts, I was learning that life moves in cycles. That growth often begins unseen. That nothing blooms before its time. And that even after the harshest winters, the earth always remembers how to come alive again. Like many, I spent years searching outside of myself..for achievement, certainty, belonging, and a sense of enoughness. Motherhood, careers, heartbreak, joy, loss, and grief all became part of that journey.

When my father passed away something within me cracked open. Grief became the beginning of my awakening. It stripped away the life I thought I was supposed to build and invited me into the life I was meant to live. That invitation eventually led me to Guatemala, where through yoga, stillness, and breath, I began remembering who I had always been beneath all the striving. Since then, life has continued to refine me.

Then the passing of my mother deepened that understanding in ways I never could have imagined. Returning to the family farm, watching the sunrises reminded me that healing doesn’t ask us to erase what we’ve lived through. It simply asks us to keep tending what still wants to grow.

Recently, one word has continued to find me:

Alchemy.

At first, I thought it was about transformation. Now I believe it’s about something even more sacred. It’s the quiet process of allowing life to shape us. Of letting grief deepen our compassion. Of allowing hardship to become wisdom. Of discovering that what once felt like our greatest wound can become the very place from which we serve. That understanding has become the heart of my work. I don’t believe people come to me because they need to be fixed. I believe they come because some part of them is ready to remember. To remember the wisdom already living within their body. To reconnect with the rhythms of nature. To simply be.

The Magic I Bring:

Every person who walks through my door carries a different story. Because of that, I don’t believe healing follows a formula. It is something we listen for. Something we tend. Something we remember. My work is deeply intuitive, weaving together years of study with the wisdom that can only come from lived experience. Whether through gentle touch, movement, sound, breath, or stillness, my intention is always the same: to help you reconnect with the wisdom that has been within you all along.

This medicine takes many forms.

Soul Touch Therapy

A deeply restorative blend of craniosacral therapy, Thai yoga, myofascial release, nervous system regulation, and intuitive touch that invites the body to soften, unwind, and remember its own capacity to heal.

Sound Healing & Energy Work

Crystal singing bowls and vibrational frequencies that quiet the mind, calm the nervous system, and create space for emotional, physical, and energetic release.

Shadow Work & Trauma Integration

Compassionately exploring the parts of ourselves that have been hidden, protected, or forgotten, allowing them to be met with curiosity instead of fear.

Breathwork & Nervous System Regulation

Gentle practices that restore a sense of safety within the body, regulate the nervous system, and create space for lasting change.

Sacred Circles, Retreats & Ceremony

Gathering in community, nature, and ritual to remember that healing was never meant to happen alone

A Lifetime of Learning

My work continues to evolve, just as I do. Along the way, I’ve been honored to study with remarkable teachers across many healing traditions. Each has shaped my practice, but none defines it on its own.
