About My Energy Healings
From an early age I felt a strong connection to spirit and that of the great mysteries of the universe. My wide breadth of knowledge and experience within the esoteric and alternative health realms derive from a forty plus year journey of exploration of self and spirit, which has been catalyzed by pronounced bouts of auto immunity. This lead me to seek new perspectives and modalities, having tried everything from acupuncture to Bicom bioresonance to naturopathy and brain retraining, and more , all of which set the stage for what you see here. My life’s work has thus been filled with finding ways to achieve optimal wellness at every stage of being, through body, mind, and spirit.
I am a certified Reiki Master as of 2022, having studied under the mentorship of the widely respected Zen Reiki Master and TCM practitioner, Lara Elliott, in Los Angeles, California. Lara and her teachings have been a huge catalyst for my spiritual growth and interest in Reiki.
As well, I previously had an online Apothecary retailing clean beauty lines and organic herbs/supplements from luxury wellness brands like Cymbiotika, Agent Nateur, Activist, and Anima Mundi Herbals. During this time I also completed courses on holistic facial treatments with Gem Esthetics, basic herbalism through the Herbal Academy, as well as self development Wisdom Healing Qi Gong classes from Chi Center by Master MingTong Gu.
In 2023, after deciding to close my Apothecary, I was fortunate enough to begin a one on one mentorship with renowned spiritual healer, Mar Harrsen of Ojai, California. Mar has been written about in both Vogue and the Wall Street Journal as a trailblazer in terms of holistic healing. She has an extensive background in various modalities, including having been trained by the Q’ero Shamans of Peru in specific nature based rituals, which I took great pride in learning. To me, Mar bridges the balance between the natural and etheric worlds in a way that makes the intangible tangible.
Jeffrey Allen of SpiritMind is another incredible teacher from whom I’ve recently learned much about the energetic body and how to work within the field. Practices I utilize on a daily basis.
One of my greatest interests of late has brought me to the study of tuning forks. The precision and results I’ve experienced from working with these sound healing instruments have invigorated my personal practice, and I look forward to working toward my BioField certification later this year.
My hope is to create individualized energy sessions imbued with elements of the natural world to reinvigorate your spiritual vitality and restore your connection to your higher self and beyond.
About My Photography
Over the years I have nurtured my creative spirit through the medium of photography. With much trial and error, in addition to the realization that the only difference between a professional and a hobbyist is the willingness to put themselves out there, I’ve decided to take the leap.
My images are grounded in nature, yet embody an ethereal spirit. What interests me most are creating beautiful images that suspend logic and capture a feeling - usually created by long exposures which I purposefully leave in their raw, unedited state. (As seen in the Exhale and upcoming Night series). The soft, grainy movement in my photographs symbolize, to me, the wild, unpredictable, ephemeral nature of life and the world we inhabit.
A true West Coaster, though I call Vancouver, Canada home, my love of the Californian landscape is where I derive my greatest inspiration, and is where my artistic heart resides.
It is my hope to deepen my artistic practice in the mediums of paint and photography, and begin to compile a portfolio of prints to showcase and sell here, later this year.
