About me

"
I'm a passionate believer in the body's innate ability to heal itself. My journey into the world of holistic healing began in my early 20s when I discovered the transformative power of massage therapy. Studying at the Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy in Albany, NY, revolutionized my understanding of the body and what it means to be truly healthy.

Inspired by this newfound knowledge, I moved to Philadelphia, PA, where I've had the privilege of working in various settings, including a chiropractor's office, a spa, and even backstage at the Mann Center. Through a series of synchronicities, I found my home at the Hot Yoga Philadelphia Studio, where I currently base my practice.

Along the way, I've completed extensive training in a wide range of healing modalities, including Lomi Lomi Massage, Chakra Clearing and Balancing, Trigger Point Therapy, Yoga (200 YTT Hatha, Vinyasa, Prenatal, and Restorative), Reiki (I and II), Health Coaching at IIN, and Natal Chart Readings. I'm constantly expanding my knowledge, currently studying Tarot, EFT, Eden Energy Method, and The Human Code.

My philosophy is simple: ""True healing comes from within; I am just your tour guide."" I believe that fully accepting and having compassion for oneself is essential to embracing the healing journey.
