Professional Qualifications
The call to wholeheartedly pursue a vocation in the Healing and Spiritual Arts awakened in my very early 30s. I have been formally devoted to deep study and professional practice for over twelve years under many teachers and mentors who have helped to amplify my innate abilities while challenging me to grow beyond limitations.
I am an intuitive weaver of healing artistry, a seer and visionary, an empowered sovereign voice, and a multi-dimensional spiritual practitioner with a love for nature, the occult and esotericism, and the farther reaches of metaphysical realities.
My professional credentials include Master of Arts in Body Psychotherapy from Naropa University, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Somatic Movement Therapist.
Additionally, I have thousands of hours of continuing education and direct client experience blending a variety of mind-body-spiritual modalities and entheogenic supported transformation.
Over the years, I have offered healing experiences to individual and groups in wellness and ceremonial settings to hundreds of people.
With an established and successful private practice, I also present and facilitate in the U.S. and abroad.
I’m also the creator of The Luminous Guide, an online learning and inspiration platform delivered in the spirit of community fellowship and an assembly of care.
My background in Experience Design and Strategy compliments my ability to uplevel your development through masterful mentorship and guidance.
Rich with Experience and Impeccable Qualifications.
