About Me

While it's always a little difficult to sum up who a person is in a few short paragraphs, I do appreciate that you need to know a little bit about who I am and my way of being before you feel comfortable adding me to your support team.

Professionally - I am a Registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist and Educator, Certified Equine Facilitated Learning Practitioner, Animal Communicator, Administration Manager for the globally accredited Body Intelligence Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Educational Organization, and a retired social worker

Personally - I am an avid outdoorswoman always seeking comfort in the forest or surrounding lakes, happy cat and horse mom, and love having deep conversations about navigating the human experience and maintaining wonder at the world around us.

I became fascinated with the human body and its ability to heal through my own health journey. Struggling with Endometriosis for two decades, I spent years navigating the medical world seeking relief that couldn't be found. Sparking determination to find solutions beyond prescription opioids and surgeries, I began managing my pain through extensive diet and lifestyle changes and plant medicine support. While this alleviated some pain, I could never quite find the relief I so desperately sought.

When BCST came into my life, I gained a deeper understanding of how compounding traumas, injuries, and life experiences can get stuck within the body and cause significant physical, mental, and emotional health issues. I became increasingly curious how regulating the nervous system through safety and relaxation created the potent state where traumas, tensions and holding patterns can be released gently and with ease.

Since starting my personal BCST journey and supporting my clients, I have gained a profound respect for the inherent healing ability of the human body and the potential for wellness within us all. And, I sit here today, completely free of Endometriosis.

While BCST came into my life as an adult, the healing power of horses is something I have known since I was a child. When I connected with horses at the age of 10, it was the first time I ever felt "at home" anywhere. There was something familiar, comforting, and soul-connecting about these powerful yet gentle beings. I knew instantly horses and I were meant to walk this life together.

My experiences with them ranged from gentling young horses, working with older horses, teaching lessons to children and adults, volunteering with Equine Assisted Therapy programs, and eventually finding Equine Facilitated Learning through my dear mentor when we moved to BC.

The deeper level of communication and connection through EFL aligned instantly for me, it was like a missing puzzle piece that was finally discovered. I now get to share the magic and healing of horses with my community, and it never ceases to amaze and delight seeing the impact they have on others.

Prior to my current roles, I was a social worker for nearly 10 years with focus on supporting children, youth and adults who have experienced high levels of trauma. This was a deep dive into understanding the vastness of the human experience and the power of resiliency within each of us. I held various positions during my career and have significant experience in facilitating difficult conversations, navigating the intricate delicacy of trauma resolution, advocating for client rights, and building up healthy support systems and community connections. I am forever grateful to all the clients I met during this time, as cumulatively they taught me the importance of compassion and kindness, how to hold safe, relational space, how to navigate difficult conversations without judgement, and how to support someone in finding themselves again.
