My Story

Having been a military kid, I readily signed up to serve and took advantage of a program designed to train medical professionals in the best institutions around the country. While pursuing my degree in Physical Therapy, I had the distinct privilege of training with some of Minnesota's best manual therapists of that time. I spent months learning how to attune my attention to the subtle rhythms & responses of the body and discovering how magnificent the mind-body connection truly is!  
Although I worked for several years in the field of Physical Therapy, my passion centered around cultivating transformations in the body and mind. 
I pursued the fringes of continuing education, always in pursuit of that which brings us deeper into our true & whole selves.  This lead me deeper into learning about the effects of traumatic stress on the body & mind, how it impacts intimacy and relationships, and how to release stored traumatic stress from the body.  

 

I have been working in and studying these various fields for more than 30 years. It has been a self-directed pursuit resulting what amounts to a PhD in the school of life. I eschew the idea that I am the expert, knowing better than my clients what is needed to achieve their greatest level of wellbeing. Instead, I prefer to partner with people, to treat this life like an experiment. I have amassed a healthy sized toolbox and have had many successes along the way (in both myself and with others), and some of these things may work well for you!!
