My Approach

Since I’ve been a small child I’ve been aware of skills and senses that no one talked about, nor seemed to understand, I’m guessing others have and had them, but perhaps didn’t discuss at that time, either way, they have allowed me the ability to help see through things so to speak- people, places, events, and these same “senses” now help me be a guide to others. Most of us possess many of these abilities should we but tap into them.

Some may call it hooey, other may call it the claire’s -such as clairscentience, clairvoyance, clairaudient and so on and beyond – thankfully, I no longer seek validation of these skills, I just use them to the best of my ability for the highest and best good that I’m able in the now.

The ability to see things the little things, subtleties… energies, has led to a very fulfilling, colorful and interesting life and I’m so thankful to be able to continue to embrace who and what I am, and what I am called to do and be of service in making the world a better place.

I was fortunate to be born into a family who were into design (my mom was an interior designer), health and nutrition… in the 70’s & 80’s no less. After getting my commercial art degree, my career would begin at my family’s business, Organic Foods, Inc. We were the first organic, vegetarian food booth at the Minnesota State Fair in 1989. I was the graphic designer but also at times research and development, delivery driver, sandwich wrapper, recipe helper, you name it, we all did it, until the business closed when my father passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in 2004 at the age of 63.

The sudden loss of my Dad, one of my favorite people…along with the life I thought I would have to go with it, sent me on quite the journey of self discovery. During this time of life reassessment, I walked away from almost all of my material possessions and the security of a marriage and family home that didn’t work, to start a new life. I met the love of my life and decided I wanted more. More love, more realness, more life… more flow. It has allowed me to gracefully traverse much that has flowed my way and I am thankful for all of the wonderful experiences and people that helped make me who I am today, for without I may have not continued on this path and be here, in service to the greater good.

I continued to further dive into energy work after having a profound “Healing Touch” (now generally called Reiki) experience shortly after my dad passed and went to work continuing to follow one of my passions, health and nutrition as a counselor and spokesperson for New Day Weight Management in Minneapolis, MN. This led to many rewarding career enhancements including becoming a certified Wellcoach (aka Wellness Coach) through the ACSM in 2005, becoming a certified Reiki Master and Nutritional Therapist in 2011, as well as add many other modalities and methods of healing while raising two beautiful daughters.

In 2010, my family decided on a change of location, to live outdoors more, experience more nature and be by family …  once again finding myself selling it all, packing up and moving out West with my little family to follow our dream. Today, I am blessed to share my home with my husband, 2 daughters, 2 dogs and our cat in the beautiful city of Portland, Or.

After working with clients for well over 25 years in the holistic and whole-istic health, wellness, beauty and design field, including nutritional therapies, wellness, life coaching and Reiki, I finally decided to add certified crystal healer as well as, registered yoga teacher in 2016, despite having been recently told I was born with congenital bi-lateral hip dysplasia (born this way) …however I believe the timing as with many things, was just perfect. I continue to study and learn more about the practice of yoga, especially with people with mobility issues, “issues” in general (lol) and beginners, along with anyone that thinks “they” can’t do yoga…. I am truly so, so thankful for it’s continued place in my life. I have found that my life experiences help me reach students on a level they can relate to and feel comfortable with, for which, I am grateful for!

I currently have a private healing practice and work with other practitioners and individuals around Portland.  I also work with my husband, who is a musician and artist designing our custom attuned jewlery, as well as hold sessions of our own patented technique, called Sensory Alignment Therapy, incorporating Reiki, crystals, sound healing, eft/tapping, cleansing and clearing techniques and many other modalities, working both 1:1, in groups and teaching workshops, as well as with clients via Skpe/Zoom.

I joyfully serve clients in my community, all over the US and the world using my natural abilities, skills and education and would love to be of service in helping you thrive and navigate what life puts in your path, through what I have learned and experienced.
