Creative Consulting

As a Mural and Studio Artist, together with my training and practice as a Somatic Mechanical Engineer, Certified Massage Therapist and Reiki III practitioner, I bring a creative and intuitive approach in to my practices.

My foundation in figurative clay sculpture and painting illustrates the long standing interest I have always held for the human form.

Manual and energetic release techniques are used to access and respond to tissue imbalances, as they are also applied while shaping clay and studying light!

I thrive in settings where I am able to hold space for and work with clients to meet their needs, whether it's a public mural project, a private art commission or in my healing arts studios.

As a visual artist I have honed a special skill set to help patrons seeking one of a kind commissioned work, where I guide the brainstorming process in a way that fosters personal ownership and learned understanding of artistic processes, if so desired.

It is my firm belief that there is no scarcity in creative sparks and I look to light that flame where ever I go.

The same holds true in my healing arts practice. Our bodies are inherently capable of self healing with proper attention and ability to listen to its cues and follow through with what we find to be true. I am able to guide clients through this process in a simple and informative way. Clients can be as passive or active in the process as they want to be. My work is in pain relief and providing tools and awareness to those who seek it.

There is nothing more empowering than the ability to find freedom from chronic discomfort, trauma, and physical limitations.

With the help of a knowledgeable and understanding somatic therapist, clients are able to bridge the gap between chronic pain, stress, injuries, and fear of movement, to finding tools within to let go of habitual tension, fatigue, and tight/lax muscles caused by injury or misalignment from repetitive use.

Be guided through your body with somatic therapy modalities, reflexology, spa treatments, chakra balancing, and guided meditation.

Opt to begin your session with time in the studio's infrared sauna.

I am also excited to be one of the few certified yoga trapeze instructors in the area with a space to work with clients in a unique way that brings inversion therapy into the world of healing therapies.

I am always brewing new skin and body care products! Please inquire within.

I love tending to the soil and watching herbs, flowers, and fruit emerge from the earth. I find great joy in baring witness to the full cycle of life as it unfolds in my garden and kitchen. We truly do have a medicine cabinet at our doorsteps!

One of my first profound experiences with an herb was comfrey, a hearty soil replenisher with a deep tap root and shooting up, Jupiterian clusters of bell shaped flowers. They hang high above its leafy plume that the bumble bees just adore! It's a hearty fertilizer and used for composting as well as a medicine for bone regeneration. It's nickname is 'bone-knit' and it does just that.

I have seen it first hand speed up the healing of a non-union tibia fracture. A second surgery was no longer needed thanks, in part to comfrey.

I make an infused oil from the leaves, roots and flowers and use it topically to speed up the osteoblast process of the cells in bone fractures or ligament and tissue tearing.

I will often use my infused oils with massage clients depending on their needs. Please feel free to ask me what I have on hand next time you're in my studio! I am always working with new plants depending on my harvests, foraging finds and the season!
