I have always been an avid student of inner and outer life. I grew up in Moorhead, MN and attended college at Concordia College in Moorhead, where I studied psychology and sociology. Much of my life has been spent in rich conversations on society, psychology, consciousness and the essence of human existence. These discussions were fueled by my endless curiosity and passion for connectivity. I have always wanted to connect with others and with life in a deep and meaningful way.
 
Travel has also played a pivotal role in shaping me. In college I spent a transformative semester in India, which exposed me to Ayurvedic medicine, diverse religious philosophies, yoga, and social justice. There, I learned of the potential for emotional and spiritual richness and contentment, even in challenging circumstances. This deeply influenced my personal and professional life.
 
I channel this tapestry of experiences into everything I do. In my 1-on-1 healing practice and in the circles I hold, I try to ensure that each and every person feels supported and seen. I am dedicated to authenticity and honesty, as I don’t believe we learn and grow by avoiding the hard truths. I learned this through messy, lived experience. I did years of my own intensive, transformative therapy and continually “do the work” of cultivating self-awareness. I walk the talk, as I believe in Gandhi’s words, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
 
While receiving my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in 2011, I expanded my natural healing expertise with additional training in HeartMath, counseling, craniosacral therapy, Reiki, and visceral manipulation.
 
After a decade of practice in naturopathic functional medicine, I found myself exhausted and in need of a change. I was not practicing in alignment with my core belief that we are fully capable of and responsible for our own healing. I know that what we need most individually and collectively, for the deepest and most transformative healing to occur, is to simply face ourselves fully, with courage and compassion. And then, to turn this courage and compassion out into the world. This kind of healing is profoundly empowering and truly magical to witness. It’s incredibly rewarding to support others as they move from merely surviving to fully thriving.
 
I spend my free time cooking nutritious meals for my family, walking in nature, indulging in the flavors at foreign food restaurants, and enjoying meaningful conversation with friends.​
 
I specialize in nervous system dysfunction, hormonal balance, and gut health, and I am deeply committed to supporting individuals through life transitions, grief, anxiety, and depression.
 
I am delighted to be walking my own soul-aligned path, bringing the light that is uniquely my own into the world and into my work. I hold a strong belief in our inherent ability to heal and transform, and I am passionate about helping others reconnect with their bodies and their inner healing compass.
