For ten years, Lyme Disease stole my life.

Brain fog so thick I couldn't follow conversations. Fatigue that didn't respond to rest. Food intolerances that seemed to multiply overnight. Migraines that ruled my days.

I went from running a newspaper and remodeling a Victorian home to staring at the wall for three years straight—my Zombie Years, I call them now.

The medical system couldn't help. They couldn't explain why everything was connected, why nothing worked, why I kept getting worse.

Then an energy healer walked into my life in January 2012, and everything changed. Within six months of learning to work with my body's energy, I got my life back.

Not gradually. Not "managed my symptoms better." Actually back.

That's when I discovered I could do this work too.

From Personal Healing to Practice

I've spent the past 14 years practicing energy healing—Applied Kinesiology, Quantum Touch, somatic release work—with women whose bodies have stopped cooperating.

For over a decade through Healing Invisible Illness, I worked with complex chronic conditions that didn't fit into medical boxes. I learned that a body is never "broken"—it's responding, communicating, protecting. And when we work at the energetic level where those patterns live, profound shifts become possible.

When Long COVID emerged, I immediately recognized the pattern: nervous systems stuck in threat loops, bodies burning through energy just trying to survive baseline existence, the same desperate search for answers I'd lived through with Lyme.

The research has finally caught up to what I've been seeing for years: the autonomic nervous system, the vagus nerve, the stress response—these aren't just biochemical. They're energetic. And when they're dysregulated at the energetic level, you need someone who can work at that level with you.

That's what I do.

What Informs My Work

The foundation of what I do came from my own body's wisdom.

When I was healing from Lyme, I studied Applied Kinesiology, Quantum Touch, CranioSacral Therapy, and somatic practices—but what actually created the shifts was something I discovered through working with my own energy. Something that came from necessity, intuition, and my body teaching me what it needed.

That's what I work with now. Not a rigid protocol, but an innate capacity to read energy and support the body's own knowing.

And here's what's important: I teach others to find this capacity in themselves. The goal isn't to make you dependent on me or my methods. It's to help you discover your own way of working with your body's energy—so you can truly be your own healer.

My work is informed by:

• What my own body taught me — the energy work that emerged from my healing journey

• Nervous system frameworks — polyvagal theory, trauma-resolution work (Peter Levine, Pat Ogden)

• Current post-viral research — mitochondrial function, autonomic dysregulation, immune system patterns

• 14 years of practice — learning what actually creates shifts vs. what just sounds good

The research validates why energy work is effective. But the real work happens when you learn to trust what your body already knows.
