More about me.

I am a avid seeker of knowledge and find joy in discovering the most effective healing options for children and families. 

 

Daily doses of play and the creative process are fundamental to my own health and well-being.

 

Having worked with children for over 10 years, I believe they are TRULY our greatest teachers.

 

 

I believe pain and suffering are powerful gateways for growth and transformation.
