Beliefs That Guide My Work:

  • Life is a co-creative journey, and we are all connected.

  • Everything is energy. Energy follows attention and intention.

  • The body is innately intelligent and has the capacity to heal itself when we create the conditions that allow it to do so.

  • There is no single formula for health or success, and no final state of arrival.

  • The laws of the universe are not contingent upon our ability to understand or appreciate them. They operate regardless of our beliefs and opinions. Energy work can be equally helpful for skeptics.

  • Conscious awareness is an important part of the journey, yet the subconscious mind is exponentially more powerful. It will either thwart or support our best intentions, so subconscious alignment is an essential part of lasting change.

  • The body functions best when treated as a friend. Symptoms are signals that the body needs help. When symptoms are ignored or suppressed, we tend to end up with louder signals and bigger problems down the road.

  • No life exists without challenges. As children, we have limited choices. As adults, it becomes a question of whether we want to be challenged by our growth edge, or by the consequences of our resistance to change.

  • The point of power is in the present moment. When we’re bogged down by energetic weight from the past, presence is a real challenge. Conscious manifestation gets easier after we’ve unburdened ourselves from the past.

  • Anything can be used as a means of growth, or as a means of distraction. Our level of presence and our intentions are the determining factors.

  • “Life isn’t so much a problem to be solved, as a mystery to be lived.” — Anonymous

  • I’m a certified Emotion Code® practitioner and a PSYCH-K® Preferred Facilitator. I have more than two decades of experience working with archetypal systems and holistic approaches that support personal and spiritual development. I also have extensive experience facilitating energy work for myself and others.

    After decades of investing in traditional forms of inner work, I cultivated a very broad perspective and a massive toolbox of coping skills. Still, I frequently found myself feeling stuck in patterns of reactivity and fear. Because my challenges were rooted in unresolved trauma and subconscious limiting beliefs, PSYCH-K® and Emotion Code® were the tools that finally helped me create the shifts I'd been seeking for years.

    I believe there are four essential keys to facilitating transformational work: personal integrity, embodied presence, conscious intention, and divine connection. For me, these are not just professional standards; they are the foundations of my life.

    I work with people who are ready for change, using the most efficient and graceful tools that I’ve found. They happen to be the same tools that changed everything for me. It is a joy to share them with others.

  • My commitment to inner work began as a teenager, when my life nearly went off the rails. I was carrying (and acting out) a storm of unprocessed anger, fear, and grief. An unpleasant wake-up call forced me to see that I was standing at a very real fork in the road. I adopted the mantra, “nothing changes until you do,” and committed to turning my life around. One year later, I was asked to serve as a mentor for a younger high school student who was having trouble adjusting. That was just the beginning.

    In adulthood I followed a more traditional path and spent many years working in non-profit FP&A, including more than fifteen years with National Geographic Society. Eventually I knew it was time to make a different kind of contribution and followed that calling.

    At some point I will share a more detailed version of my story. For now, suffice it to say that I have experienced my share of inner conflict, anxiety, disconnection, heartbreak, and loss. I have also experienced my share of love, joy, connection, contentment, and awe.

    My life is now much more rooted in the latter. The change was driven by my intentional responses to life’s challenges and the determination to heal my own trauma. With an earnest desire, anyone can do the same. Thankfully there are many wonderful paths to get there.
