My journey into the healing arts began in 1985, during my final semester of nursing school, when my mother was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Walking beside her through the challenges of cancer treatment was both heartbreaking and profoundly awakening.

In those tender, difficult moments, I felt called to offer comfort differently — through gentle, holistic practices that could soothe, support, and bring a sense of peace where allopathic medicine alone could not. That calling became the foundation of my work today: nurturing, intuitive healing that honors the whole woman and her path toward wellness.

This experience awakened a lifelong devotion to massage therapy, energy healing, and women’s wellness. A year after working as a graduate nurse, I followed that calling to the Florida School of Massage in Gainesville, FL, where I immersed myself in bodywork and energy medicine — ancient healing arts that speak to the body’s quiet wisdom.

My early nursing years were spent in physical rehabilitation, supporting patients recovering from spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and strokes. Bearing witness to their resilience shaped my approach to healing, guided by deep compassion, presence, and respect for the human spirit.

In 1994, my path turned toward women, infants & children’s health. I trained and received certifications as a birth and postpartum doula, infant massage instructor, and pregnancy/postpartum massage therapist. One of my greatest joys was utilizing my nursing skills to assist midwives during labor & deliver for both home births & birth centers in South Florida.

Supporting women through pregnancy, childbirth, and the tender postpartum season became some of the most meaningful work of my life — helping them reconnect with their bodies, bond with their babies, while assisting new mamas to restore balance, and rediscover their natural radiance as they stepped onto the path of motherhood.

Today, having retired from my doula practice and as a pediatric home healthcare nurse in 2020; I now offer holistic wellness services that help women thrive through all seasons of their lives with massage & bodywork therapies, maternity massage, and energy medicine, all within a safe, nurturing space where women can release, renew, and reconnect with themselves.

“ I look forward to walking along beside you as you breathe in wellness.”
