"Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you...
This turning toward what you deeply love, saves you"
- Rumi
This verse succinctly captures my journey of becoming a healing facilitator.
Prior to pursuing and embracing the healing arts, I had a successful 22 years career in High Tech via roles in Sales Leadership, Sales, Sales Engineering, and Product Management, with companies such as Salesforce, Splunk, and Oracle.
During that time I encountered a few sports related injuries from running marathons, skiing, and rollerblading. I was able to overcome those injuries relatively easy.
As my work and family responsibilities grew, I fell behind in making time for myself. I stopped exercising, I was skipping meals, and getting less and less sleep. That combined with the mental stress of work finally caught up with me. My body and my mind gave up. I fell ill with anxiety, ptsd, and debilitating chronic pain on my right side of the body.
And so started a two year healing journey that would completely transform my understanding of body mind interweaving and lead me to uncovering my gift and my passion for helping people heal through touch.
Today I am happy to share that I am pain free and dedicated to staying healthy and strong in order to serve others!
