PHILOSOPHY
I am guided by my connection to the divine spirit through body practices, prayer, sweat and plant ceremony. My approach is to balance the body holistically so one can flourish through physical and spiritual alignment. I provide tools for connecting to one’s inner wisdom, radical self care, body sovereignty, and pleasure-centered care. I believe healing ourselves is a radical act for our communities and genetic lineages. I am an excellent experienced clinician, utilizing medical intervention when necessary, while respecting healing as a normal physiologic life event. I promote people to operate from their power, demystify healthcare and reconnect to their ancient wisdom.
