As an Holistic Health Care Practitioner, my toolbox of knowledge encompasses a broad range of traditional nursing experiences as an RN, a Nurse Educator, Infection Control Practitioner, Home Care Nurse, College Instructor, and more. As well, I have extensive, Advanced Training (at Teaching Assistant level) in alternative modalities: CranioSacral Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage, Visceral Manipulation, Reiki, Shamanism, Medical Intuitive, Soul-Readings, and more.

I became a Registered Nurse at the Calgary General Hospital, then attended the University of Alberta, Edmonton to complete my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Following this, I completed my Master in Communication Studies, at the University of Calgary.

After years of dissatisfaction , working in the "fix-it-after-it's-broken" standard healthcare system, my work and studies gravitated to teaching health promotion, rather than "disease-fixing", and Marketing of Professional Services and health promotion concepts.

Finally, in 1995, I left Alberta, and allopathic medicine in response to my own health crisis - a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I said to my doctors “I am going to try every Native rain-dance out there before I darken your doors again”. I began searching alternative health modalities to find my own well-being. CranioSacral Therapy was the key factor in my becoming well again. I could not imagine not learning and sharing this amazing work, and other alternative skills I learned with my clients.

I have had the great joy and privilege of working with many great leaders and developers of powerful Alternative therapies. Some of these include the following:

• Dr John Upledger - Advanced CranioSacral Therapy (Biomechanical)
• Dr Bruno Chikly - Lymphatic Drainage
• Dr Jean-Pierre Baral - Visceral Manipulation
• Ged Sumner - Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapy
• Dr John Lilly - "The Mind of the Dolphin"
• Joan Ocean - Swimming with Humpback Whales
• Esalen Institute - Dr Hector Prestara "Your Body Reveals

My quest to heal my own emotional, physical and mental trauma (including PTSD) has been relentless and all-encompassing. I am a life-long learner, and feel compelled to share my discoveries with my clients. I have walked a mile in some seriously difficult shoes, and as such, I have deep compassion for my fellow man.

As well, I have strong beliefs that we can heal ourselves by healing our minds and setting ourselves onto our own paths of self-discovery. CranioSacral Therapy not only resolves physical health issues, but is the most effective avenue I know of to resolve anxiety, depression and other debilitating emotional issues.

Now, my passion is to create health freedom for my clients using my hands-on gift, and skills. In a session,  I identify the critical influences presented to me in the moment, that have resulted in dis-ease for my clients. With my unique approach, and tool box of skills, I work with each client to identify, and clear the issues that have created dis-ease for them - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Hence, my tagline is: I create freedom for bodies and minds.

I'm addicted to my work....for me and for my clients... no two sessions are the same; the 'dance' my clients and I do together in our sessions helps more to unfold than can be expressed in words...

We connect at a place of adventure (Inner awareness of who we really are), attention (deep presence), achievement (well-being and purpose), intimacy (deeply connected and present) and nurturing ( my 'nursing, caring Self creates a deeply safe space).....

Always, always we are growing into 'who we really are' in a stronger and healthier (at all levels) way...  I cannot connect with you with integrity without learning and growing from you... our work together creates a 1+1= 3rd 'thing'....

Exponentially, we clear and uncover what's been hidden beneath Beliefs - ours and that of others - people-pleasing becomes a thing of the past... more and more we speak and live from our Truth...
