I love working with plants, and flowers. It's been part of my healing for more than 30 years. I've trained, worked, consulted, and instructed as an herbalist and flower essence practitioner since the early 90s. This work led me to Rosita Arvigo and the Mayan healers of Belize. It was a natural progression, going to massage school and flying to Belize to learn Rosita's work, I have been specializing in the health and wellness of women's abdomen and pelvic regions since 2003. This is great work for fertility, for prolapsed or misplaced organs, digestive issues, increasing blood flow and oxygen to all areas, and extremely beneficial at unlocking our deeply held traumas we all seem to store in our bellies. My fascination with the inner journey my clients all seemed to be experiencing from this work led me to develop my own work, Bio-Energetic Body Therapy (formerly known as Tourmaline Body Therapy), which I not only perform, but also teach to other therapists. I've also developed and taught Flora Body Essence workshop instructing in the use of plants on the body. Other workshops I've developed are: Using Music & Sound Vibration in massage, body and energy work, Abdominal Massage for Digestive Health, & Abdominal Massage for Pelvic & Reproductive Health.
I am a licensed massage therapist in Pennsylvania. I apprenticed herbs and flower essences with Rosemary Gladstar, and studied with such amazing plant teachers such as Matthew Wood, David Winston, Christopher Hobbs, Amanda Macquade Crawford, Dr. Tieraona Lowdog, Rocio Alarcon, just to name a few. I've studied with a number of Shamans from Central and South America. I've been taught clearing, healing and harmonizing with plants and sound. Plants and/or plant essences are personally chosen for each session and used on the body during each therapy. Energy balancing and harmonizing with healing vibrations through the use of sound has been incorporated into each session.
Trained in mindfulness and consciousness studies, I practice and encourage others to use mindfulness as a practice throughout their daily lives. Being present and mindful of our thoughts, actions and words is life altering and the quickest way I know to manifest the life we desire.
Be it plants, essences, mindfulness, visualization, massage techniques, bowls, tuning forks, music or voice, you will feel the benefit of good vibration and a sense of peaceful centeredness from my work.
