A Thread That’s Been With Me a Long Time

Before I stepped into healing work, I spent years studying and teaching Art History. I’ve always been drawn to the politics of representation, archetypes, and the stories we use to make meaning. That same attention guides my work now — listening for what sits beneath the surface and where something is ready to shift or be understood differently.

How I Came to This Work

Energy work was part of my family long before I named it as a practice. My mom used therapeutic touch with her patients, and my sister became a Reiki master when I was young. When I had headaches or didn’t feel well, they would use gentle energy work with me. It always felt familiar and comforting.

Plants as My First Teachers

My first doorway into healing was through plants. As a kid, I was constantly mixing potions, drawn to the subtle ways herbs, scent, and texture could shift how I felt. That connection resurfaced during pregnancy, when herbs and food became grounding supports.

Returning to Energy Work

I reconnected with energy work in a profound way when my grandmother was dying. Sitting with her brought forward the same kind of quiet, hands-on presence I grew up with. It clarified something for me about the deeper layers of care, and how energy work supports people when words fall short.

Finding Sound as a Natural Extension

Sound entered my practice the same way — intuitively — through a spontaneous urge to hum during sessions before I had formal training. Over time, energy, sound, plant allies, and intuition began weaving together naturally.

The Bridge Between Art History & Healing

My years as an art historian taught me to look closely, pay attention to detail, recognize pattern, and understand the symbolic layers that shape experience. These same skills now shape my healing work — different language, same foundation.

What Matters to Me in My Practice

I don’t see myself as someone who fixes or diagnoses. My role is to create a space where you can settle, listen to yourself, and meet what’s arising with more clarity and groundedness. I work in a way that’s steady, intuitive, collaborative, and always attuned to your pace and nervous system.

I value consent, curiosity, agency, gentleness, and the kind of attunement that helps people feel more like themselves again.

Herbalism & Plant Work

My herbalism practice is relational, not prescriptive. I’m drawn to the emotional and energetic support that plants — especially flower essences and gentle herbal allies — can offer. Plants often show up as quiet teachers or mirrors and are part of the larger ecosystem of healing I work within.

Teachers & Influences

I’m inspired by people exploring the intersections of healing, intuition, the body, and nature — people with practices as different as Nikki Novo, Asia Suler, Kimberly Ann Johnson, and Rosemary Gladstar, among many others, — alongside my own lived experience and ongoing training. Themes of interconnectedness, resilience, layered knowing, and inner wisdom run through everything I do.

How I Work With People

When you come to a session, we start with where you are — no pressure, no expectations. From there, we use a mix of energy work, sound healing, tuning forks, intuitive guidance, flower essences, and plant support to help your system settle, clarify, and find a coherent rhythm. Each session is different because your needs change week to week.

My intention is always the same: to offer a steady, grounded space where something in you can exhale, shift, or reconnect.

A Closing Note

I believe healing is collaborative — a conversation between your body, your energy, your history, and the present moment. If you feel drawn to explore this work, I’d be honored to meet you there.
