I identify as a woman and as a shape shifter who takes many forms including: Chinese medicine doctor, acupuncturist, yoga therapist, bodyworker, eco-feminist, surfer, witch, multi-passionate entrepreneur, and mystic. Beyond all these identities, I am spirit manifested in a human body. I believe that by reconnecting with our bodies and with the earth we can heal what is holding us back from our true nature.

I acknowledge that I am a settler born on unceded traditional Pentlatch territory of the Coast Salish First nations, called (Ja-dai-aich) Hornby Island. I reside presently on unceded traditional territories of the Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ and Tla-o-qui-aht nations, known as Tofino and Ucleulet. I am of Scottish, Irish, English, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Scandinavian, German, and French ancestry. I use the pronouns she/her.

My journey with integrative medicine and the body-mind connection grew from childhood in a grass roots way by digging in the garden, getting lost in my imagination through the forest, swimming in the sea and by experiencing the healing arts within my community.

Through exposure to travel, healing modalities, and teachers I began to gather tools that now comprise my medicine basket that I am grateful to share.

I have a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine Diploma from Pacific Rim College and am a Registered Doctor of Chinese medicine. My practice focuses on hormonal balance, digestion, mental health, pain, and trauma resolution. I incorporate Upledger CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release as an integral part of my practice.

I am an E-RYT-500 Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher, YACEP continuing education provider and C-IAYT Yoga Therapist; I have been teaching for eleven years including leading group classes and workshops. I teach vinyasa, hatha, yin, restorative, pre-natal and yoga nidra.

I studied Massage at the California Holistic Institute of Therapeutic Massage and I combine my understanding of Thai Massage, Reiki, Swedish Relaxation, Lomi Lomi, Tui Na, CranioSacral Therapy and Acupressure in each massage treatment. Through a balance of knowledge and intuition I work to create an individualized and therapeutic treatment.

When I am not in the clinic you’ll find me dancing, gazing at the moon, soaking up the natural world, creating magic in my kitchen, exploring shapes on my yoga mat, or splashing around on my surfboard in the ocean.

My work has been a devotional process of trauma resolution, self-discovery and inner healing. I am wholeheartedly committed to revealing the blockages that keep me feeling anything less than the full expression of my most genuine self.

Let us work together to unearth your true nature.
