After working as an acupuncturist for several years, I decided to deepen my study of the energy body. I am now certified as a Master Practitioner in Energy Medicine, and a graduate of the Four Winds Society's "Healing the Light Body Program" - a 2 year intensive training in energy medicine. The program was founded by Alberto Villoldo – a medical anthropologist who studied with Peruvian Inca Shamans for over 20 years. The training is composed of two main parts. The first element involves personal transformation and completing deep inner work and healing. The second part of the program involves extensive study of the knowledge handed down by native Incan healers. I participated in ancient rites of passage that healers in this tradition have received for centuries. I learned several core healing practices that I now offer to clients.

In May of 2008 I traveled with one of my mentors and a small group of other healers to Peru. I was blessed to be able to travel to Cusco, The Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Moray, Saqsaywaman, and other sacred sites in Peru. I participated in traditional Inca ceremonies and received healings from several shamans. This enabled me to better understand the traditions and culture that I had been studying.




The energy work I do also incorporates elements from some of my favorite teachers and authors including: Sandra Ingerman, Carolyn Myss, Barbara Brennan, Jose Luis Herrera, Doreen Virtue, Eckhart Tolle, Don Miguel Ruiz, Louise Hay, Byron Katie, Wayne Dyer, Julia Cameron and other experts in personal transformation. I also draw from my personal study of Yoga, and Buddhist and Taoist philosophy.
