Healing Journey
I discovered mineral balancing in my own healing path after many years searching to discover the root cause of my own migraine headaches, which had become chronic after a traumatic c-section with the birth of my first son.
I started off my HTMA practice specialize in helping people resolve chronic migraines. If you’re interested in learning more about how to heal migraine headaches naturally, visit my other website, Minerals for Migraines.
Eventually people who did not suffer from migraine started to approach me about mineral balancing, too. I’ve found mineral balancing to be a profoundly effective tool in supporting the Whole Person.
Education
I studied bodywork at East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon, then went on to specialize in biodynamic craniosacral therapy through a 2.5 year training with the International School of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, mentoring with Michael Shea, PhD.
I studied Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis with Rick Malter, PhD (of the Malter Institute), and Kendra Perry of HTMA Experts.
In 2023 I studied Neuro Linguistic Programming with the NLP Institute of California.
I really enjoyed Sarah Bly’s “Fertility Awareness: Personal and Clinical Applications” class, as well as her “Permaculture of the Female Body” class.
I also took the “Innate Breath” coursework with the Barratt Breath Institute.
My ultimate credentials, however, are that I underwent a ten-year, intensive real-life experience at the University of Chronic Debilitating Migraine, and graduated with a clear head.
No amount of formal education I’ve invested in has compared to, or been as valuable as, the amount of time I’ve spent in independent study of nutrition, health, and mineral dynamics.
None of it has been a greater teacher than listening to my own body, my own life, my own innate power to heal.
Curiosity has been my ultimate guide back to the one true healer: Nature.
Prior to my work in nutritional balancing, I lived and studied abroad in Vienna, Austria and Munich, Germany before receiving my BA in Creative Writing and Photography from the College of Santa Fe. I also taught English in Istanbul, Turkey, and worked as a publicist in the nonprofit sector in support of clean rivers and healthy communities in my home state of New Mexico.
