After ten years in Western medicine I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), prescribed Methotrexate, and told to come back “when I got worse” (not “if) and my medications would be adjusted.

This put me on the path of integrative and Ayurvedic medicine, where I discovered that my past childhood sexual abuse was one of the primary causes of my adult RA.
After engaging in trauma work and changing the way I processed my world, I was able to reverse the RA and it’s not been back in 26 years…never took the meds. I’ve been helping others do the same for the last 20 years by focusing on helping them heal their trauma, genetics, intestinal health, and toxic burden.

I’m a certified EMDR, Brainspotting, Enneagram, Hypnotherapy, and mesa wheel therapist as well as an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner with a Ph.D. in Sexology and board certifications in Ayurvedic and Functional medicine.

I call trauma the missing piece of the health puzzle, but trauma can’t be healed if the endocrine and gastrointestinal systems aren’t also balanced and healthy. This is why my focus is on integrating the mind, body, heart, and spirit with your story, attachment style, Enneatype, energy patterns, and your inner parts or character style.
