How we treat our bodies will ultimately determine how well we feel. Seven years ago, I was left to pick up the pieces and overcome the pain of a traumatic back injury. Living with the pain was overwhelming. Inside I knew, that the only way for me to truly recover was going to require a new way of living. I made the decision to heal without drugs, surgery, or needles. This new mission required the retrieval of my entire educational and career experiences, alongside determination, dedication and courage.

My path to healing encompassed extensive personal and mentored knowledge in body physiology, nutrition and yoga. My whole world had changed. I left the corporate environment, in order to teach others how to choose alternatives for living a better quality and more fulfilling life. My own success and that of my clients fuels my dedication to the ancient therapies of massage, essential oils and yoga, that has assisted people with postural correction, neuromuscular, bio-mechanical and nutritional balancing. A debilitating injury led me down this road. The love of my daughter, Alycia, and life partner, Michael, make it a tireless journey.
