My greatest passion is helping people. It’s really that simple. My healing path started early when my first “job” at five was giving our next-door neighbor shoulder massages for a quarter. It was also one of my chores growing up to give my mother a back massage, which was always more important than taking out the trash. She had an injury that I was able to give her relief from. I liked it and remember being proud that I could help her. Many years, and modalities later, I’m still proud of the healing work I do.

Like most healers, I’ve had my own health journey. When I started working for Hanna’s Herb Shop, Hanna Kroeger’s retail division and homeopathic production, I was looking for how to heal the exhaustion I’d experienced since I was a young child. What I found was so much more than I could have imagined and was exactly what I needed.

My early years at Hanna’s Herb Shop were expansive and full of magic for me. I did a deep dive into my own healing. I learned to dowse, which completely changed my life and outlook. Being able to tap into your own divine connection to measure energy for healing was mind blowing and empowering. I learned and absorbed everything I could about Hanna’s teachings, her products and healing methods. I also took the opportunity to study many other healing modalities. I took classes and went to lectures and gatherings on dowsing, nutrition, supplements, energy work, spiritual healing, radionics, etc. I started a program to support and educate practitioners, wrote articles, went to trade shows, taught classes and employees, and helped as many customers as I could. I felt truly fulfilled when I went home at night knowing I had helped people. I loved my work and it was profoundly rewarding. I will always be grateful to Hanna, and I’m honored to have supported her work and been a part of her company for so long.

In 2012 I began my training in Tibetan Cranial® and was released from my apprenticeship as a practitioner in 2014. This healing modality is hands on, and I find it deeply satisfying. It is so much more than body work. People have profound physical changes, especially if they have had trauma or concussions or issues like migraines, as well as deep emotional releases and spiritual connections. I felt so drawn to learn Tibetan Cranial that I didn’t feel like it was a choice, it was more of a need and part of what I am meant to do as a healer.

In 2016, I was part of the Tibetan Cranial group that traveled to Bhutan to meet with Rinpoche Ngawang Tenzin, where he recognized Tibetan Cranial as a part of his lineage. This was considered a great privilege and honor. That trip was a once in a lifetime experience and I’m grateful I was able to be a part of it.

Today, I use all of my tools to help my clients. I’ve found along the way that being healthy and happy is a commitment. We have to work at it, grow with it and maintain it. I love moments when a person has an opening, an aha moment, when they understand something about themselves that they haven’t seen before. Those moments have the great potential for change, the spark and opportunity for new paths and transformation.
