Her whole-person integrative approach helps individuals struggling with burnout, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, chronic stress and trauma. "The body is extremely resilient and has the ability to heal itself and keep itself well if proper balance is achieved. I create a comfortable atmosphere of respect and trust so the client is able to establish or reestablish a relationship with their body and ultimately gain a greater sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. Remaining aware and present while befriending the body will help the client achieve a natural state of inner peace and a balance in the body, mind and spirit."
