This is truly specialized work. Herbal therapeutic massage is a blend of medical massage with topical herbal applications. Medical massage is outcome-based massage, and I work from a perspective of how the whole system operates. As an herbalist, I also incorporate high quality, organic, wild crafted and locally made herbal oils, tinctures and essential oils, hydrotherapy, herbal compresses, and MediCupping as needed to help you feel your best as quickly as possible. My customized herbal compresses (herbal tea soaked towels) are made the day before in preparation for the following day's clients (8-12 hours low heated to extract the most nutrients and medicinal action of the plants). The herbal formulas used are a combination of herbs to support nerves, muscles, tissues, and the body's all important lymphatic system for healing and relaxation. Think of this like a topical nutrient IV! Combining herbals with therapeutic massage is a game changer. It is an herbal experience unlike anything you have experienced!
I am also a trauma-informed massage therapist. Having completed half of a master's-level program in Marriage and Family Therapy, I bring this perspective and skill set with me to all my sessions.
Who could benefit from this? Everyone! But I work mostly with chronic inflammation and autoimmune conditions and people with "sensitive systems" and mystery conditions including, but not limited to pre- or post-surgery or explant, pregnancy and postpartum, young and old, post concussion, oncology support, and those with symptoms of: Breast Implant Illness, Hashimoto's, Parkinson's, and Fibromyalgia.
People with sensitive systems need someone who will be able to work with their daily level of inflammation. I help my clients increase their energy, reduce anxiety, reduce pain, improve balance and feel better.

I provide in-person and remote herbal and wellness consulting. As a Master Herbalist, I have been trained in the use of healing herbs and foods to assist the body in its ability to heal and repair itself. As a coach and a consultant, I fulfill the role as a teacher and a support in your healing and wellness journey. I may make lifestyle recommendations, suggestions for detoxification and cleansing (including body contouring massage sessions), and refer to other providers to assist in your journey and walk alongside of you in a process of collaboration.
Herbal consultations include teaching the historical uses of medicinal plants. One of the tools that I use as an anti-inflammatory detox protocol is the SHAPE ReClaimed™ Wellness Program.

My background as a Life Skills Facilitator, service coordinator and the masters-level training I have received in Marriage and Family Therapy have given me skills that I utilize in life coaching and hypnotherapy. I am a trauma informed practitioner. Combining life coaching with hypnotherapy helps to overcome limiting beliefs, improve confidence, find a path to forgiveness, discover your God-given purpose and the gift in your healing crisis. Hypnotherapy helps to overcome the lies we have believed and to change that thought pattern by addressing the unconscious mind. It allows your mind and body to connect, working together to help you to achieve your goals and ease your physical or emotional troubles.
Hypnotherapy and coaching may help with:
Dealing with a long health recovery
Increasing confidence
Weight-loss and smoking cessation
Forgiveness and relationship dynamics
Discovering your purpose
Self development
Chronic pain, low energy and heaviness
Body image, pre- and post-explant support
Burnout and overwhelm
Symptoms of anxiety and depression
Recovery from injuries or stressful events
Breaking habits and/or creating healthy new habits
