About Me

I began to study and practice the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu during a long personal journey to find relief from chronic pain. Having experienced many healing modalities, in addition to studying qi gong, tai chi and acupressure, I was mysteriously guided to this gentle hands-on art. Jin Shin Jyutsu brought relief to the chronic pain in ways that I never anticipated and remains an enduring self-care practice for me. 

A decade later, I dove into an academic program to study the integration of body-mind practices with health and wellness in western medicine. During my studies, I was introduced to the coaching process. As another approach to health, wellness and healing, I found coaching was like “listening to the life pulse” in another. Rather than using my hands to facilitate the movement of energy, I could listen and guide another towards their intrinsic motivation to make changes for the better in their lives. Health & Wellness Coaching was the perfect complement to my ongoing practice and understanding of Jin Shin Jyutsu.
