Tell us about a turning point in your life.
I found a lump in my breast when I was in my early 30s. I had surgery, but also went to an energy healer. That healing was a profound experience—it changed my life, and I switched careers. Now I give healings and teach others how to do the same.
What do you love about teaching?
The “aha moment” when someone realizes she or he does sense energy; it’s palpable. Also, helping people create the lives they want.
What are you passionate about right now?
Being my full self so others get the feeling, by being around me, that they can be their full selves, too.
What do you do in your downtime?
I love to read contemporary fiction and ride my bike through nature and near the ocean.
