About Me

My Journey to Energy Healing

My path to becoming an energy healer began with my own healing crisis. In 2006, I received a fast moving breast cancer diagnosis that changed everything. During my chemotherapy treatment, I discovered Healing Touch energy work, which not only helped clear the side effects of treatment but revealed something profound: I had energetic bodies (yes, there are many!) and imbalance in them had contributed to my diagnosis.

This revelation transformed my understanding of health and healing. After completing treatment, I committed to learning how to repattern my energy system to maintain balance and prevent recurrence. It’s at this point, my transformative personal journey really began. I completed a two-year focused study in energy medicine, earning my Certification as a Healing Touch Practitioner in 2010.

My personal healing journey includes:

  • Complete recovery from cancer for over 17 years

  • Transitioning to a fulfilling new career after experiencing exhaustion as a special educator

  • Recovering my voice after struggling with a vocal condition (Spasmodic Dysphonia) for over 20 years

These experiences inform my work with clients every day. I understand firsthand what it means to transform challenging health conditions, make significant life transitions, and reclaim parts of yourself that seemed lost.

My Approach to Energy Healing

My practice integrates multiple modalities with a focus on providing both immediate relief and long term tools for self care. I believe energy healing is most effective when it:

  1. Respects individual uniqueness - Your energy system is as unique as your fingerprint

  2. Combines healing with education - Understanding your own energy empowers lasting change

  3. Addresses the whole person - Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects are interconnected

  4. Creates practical results - Energy work should improve your daily quality of life

Through distance sessions via Zoom or telephone, I provide high quality energy work tailored to your specific situation. While I work with clients facing many different challenges, I specialize in:

  • Helping professionals recover from chronic stress and restore vitality

  • Supporting healing of persistent conditions by addressing underlying energy patterns

  • Facilitating life transitions by grounding energy and aligning with authentic purpose

As my client, you can expect me to listen deeply, respond compassionately and consistently provide both supportive healing and practical tools you can use independently.

Education, Training & Credentials

My extensive training allows me to draw from multiple modalities to create a tailored approach for each client:

  • Master of Arts in Education plus 50 graduate hours - The University of Iowa

  • Bachelor of Arts in Education - The University of Iowa

  • Certified Energy Healing/Four Pathways Professional - Cyndi Dale & The Shift Network

I have studied extensively with Cyndi Dale—a global authority on the body's energetics—since 2014. I am currently the Program Assistant for The Shift Network's 2024-2025 Cyndi Dale Energy Healing Certification Program and served as a teaching assistant in the previous year-long program.

My background as a special education teacher honed my abilities to observe subtle patterns, develop individualized plans, and track progress over time—skills that transfer beautifully to energy healing work. I helped students overcome struggles, learn to master new strategies for success and achieve a sense of competence and pride.

Beyond Energy Healing

When I'm not providing energy sessions or teaching people about their energy systems, I enjoy reading and writing poetry, historical mysteries, and fantasies. I wrote a novel, The Lost Art, which I'm currently revising for publication. I also enjoy creative collaborations with other writers and artists.

I share my life with my husband Phil, a fellow poet and novelist. Together we enjoy reading books, collecting art, watching mysteries, cooking international cuisine, taking long walks, and traveling whenever possible.
