Hello, I am so happy your curiosity led you read more about my life and healing journey. I am a married mother of two Neurodiverse children and live in Sag Harbor, NY with my husband, dog, backyard squirrels, and wild turkeys! ​This is all so aligned with my longings to live this life now ~ and it didn't come easy, I can assure you.

​

I grew up in New Jersey in the 1970s, a time of social upheaval. My parents were divorced and remarried; preoccupied with their new relationships and careers. My childhood reflected abandonment and the absence of safe, reliable adults. I had to navigate my way at a young age. I never felt like I fit in, was enough, or that there was enough for me. And the only person I trusted was me - or so I thought- because I was abandoning myself all the time without realizing it.

​

Like many teenage girls, I had an unhealthy obsession with my body image, food, and weight. That led to pursue an education in nutrition and becoming a Nutritionist at a major NYC Hospital. I continued my education with a Master’s in Public Health (because a B.S. wasn't 'enough) and moved to NYC to pursue my career. I was ambitious and driven. However, my emotional maturation was arrested from early childhood wounding of rejection, abandonment and betrayal. This eventually led to my ‘bottom’ in my mid-30s ~ I was in a constant state of activity as a workaholic, a shopaholic, a workout-aholic and a date-aholic. I began in ernest to try to understand what my self-sabotaging behaviors were about and began seeing therapists, going to retreats and attending Al Anon meetings. 

At the same time, I managed to have a successful 25-year career in Corporate America in NYC and eventually bought a home in Sag Harbor for my mental health and well-being. A year later, I took a vacation to St. Lucia and met my future husband. We married 18 months later and I was pregnant within three months—a true miracle at 40! My entire life changed.  Six years after my first child, we adopted our beautiful daughter at five weeks old. This was another miracle.

I was exhausted and overwhelmed trying to maintain the same level of performance in my career. My relationships suffered and I couldn’t properly care for myself. I was breaking my neck trying to do it all and I didn’t like my life. Something had to change and change it did. That's when I found my way to a local Energy Healer. Through events I consider to be Divine Timing,  I needed major surgery to fuse 3 vertebrae in my neck from an old ski accident. I couldnt do anything for the first time in my life. I convelesced for months and started to feel new clarity in my priorities. I found my voice, and a small, still place within me to rediscover who I truly was.

I decided to leave my corporate career and enrolled in the highly respected 4-year Brennan School of Healing Science (BBSH), an accredited college in Florida, and began to transform my life. I never looked back. I loved the teachers, and learning, and felt a deep sense of belonging.

Eventually, I completed my training in the Advanced Studies Graduate Program at the Brennan School of Healing Science and am now in private practice.  During COVID, I established weekly Zoom meditations and workshops which continue today.  I also offer my therapeutic healing modality 1:1 in person, in groups, and on Zoom.
