I was born to be a healer, a teacher, an entrepreneur. Born and raised in Sacramento, California, I completed high school in 3 years and moved up to Seattle, Washington and earned my AA degree in a little over 1 year. What can I say? I love to learn, and I’m a fast learner. I lived most of my adult life in Portland, Oregon, where I completed my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Communication and Conflict Resolution with an emphasis in Nonviolent Communication at Portland State University. Then, I went to Naturopathic Medical School at the National University of Natural Medicine. After graduation, I moved to Santa Cruz, California, where I began practicing as a naturopathic doctor at an already established practice for over a year. Then, two of my colleagues and I opened our own practice together, which is now an incredible holistic healing center, with practitioners of multiple modalities, such as acupuncture, massage, Rolfing, nutrition, life coaching, energy work, and aesthetics. We bring a huge array of healing methods to California’s central coast. I love what I do. I love to work with people to help them feel their best. It’s my honor to help people optimize their health, watch their vitality radiate, and see how they shine. When people feel their best, they can then share their gifts with this world.
