I began my journey into holistic medicine after I broke my jaw in 2014.

My surgeons were excellent and the dental students that they employed were amazing as well. But the whole experience lacked consideration and support. When my mouth was finally unwired, after three months, I was given no followup instructions, no real understanding of what was next in terms of care, of eating again, physical therapy to relearn how to use my mouth. It took months for me to feel able enough to try foods that were crunchy, like carrots, or bigger, like hamburgers. I remember feeling pretty helpless and afraid that I was going break my face again

My decision to go back to school to become a wellness coach stemmed from this experience. And studying for my Masters really opened my eyes to the opportunities that exist to help people. My practice incorporates all aspects of my trainings - from active listening to offering nutrition and herb options, to breath-work and stretches. Listening to my clients, hearing them talk about their struggles, their accomplishments and the steps between the two is inspiring for me. Getting to know my clients and being an aid for their healing journeys is the highlight of my practice.

I continue to explore modalities of healing and am excited to add Manual Lymphtatic Drainage to my skillset.

I am a NBC Health and Wellness Coach, a NYS Licensed Massage Therapist, and a Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist.
