Walk away from every session feeling not just empowered but deeply connected and cared for
I am a holistic therapist with over 20 years of experience working in the field of holistic therapy helping people heal themselves.
I have been where you are and understand the load you carry. Here, I offer a nurturing, non-judgmental space where you can safely explore and release the physical tension and emotional burdens that have been holding you back.
The same gentle techniques and practices that helped me reconnect to myself and step into a more balanced, authentic life are the ones I now offer you.
In my mid to late twenties, I lost both my older sister and my mother to terminal illnesses within a year and a half of each other. I was 29, raising my daughter alone and grappling with overwhelming grief.
Arousing deep-seated traumas and hidden pains that I could not ignore. Talk therapy kept me afloat, but it didn’t reach the depths of what I was feeling. At the time, I was working part-time at a healing centre, where a compassionate therapist invited me to receive CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release. By my last session, I found myself free from the long and deeply held baggage of my past traumas.
I could breathe freely and enjoy life again. This space awakened a deep desire in me to help others to connect to their own inner healer and restore balance and harmony in their lives—a mission that has guided me for over 20 years as a holistic therapist.
As someone who has walked this path of healing, I understand the courage it takes to turn inward and face what’s been holding you back.
I believe every touch, every session, should carry that same intention—to help you feel seen, safe, and supported as you move through your healing journey.
My approach to holistic therapy is rooted in those tender moments of caring for my sister and mother. By gently placing my hand on their bodies, I felt how a nurturing empathic touch could soothe pain and bring comfort, if even for a moment. It left a profound impact on me and continues to shape how I work with clients to this day.

Her complete presence and attention are a gift. You trust her at first sight, feel her respect and her deep understanding. It is easy to confide in her and surrender yourself to her gentle hands.
Her mindful touches from craniosacral therapy and her fine perception speak of many years of experience and wisdom. The treatment location is a protective space energetically charged by her work, in which you immediately feel safe. The deep work continues to have an effect on various levels. I am grateful for this healing encounter.
