My journey here began with a ¬†two year Dark Night of the Soul in my early 40’s. ¬† Despite a thriving career in Pediatric Speech Pathology and a family that I adored, ¬†my soul was pleading for something more. ¬†Prayer and the universe’s answers (aka synchronicity) ¬†eventually led me to the work for which my soul was yearning. After a year of an outpouring of gifts from Spirit, ¬†I opened ¬†my own healing practice in 2000, when I became a “Reiki Master.” ¬† Working in the realm of Spirit was an incredible joy to me, and a place in which I have always felt “at home.” ¬† ¬†I loved assisting others in their healing journey. ¬†One thing led to another and after nine years of study, I began to practice as a ¬†Certified Traditional Naturopath. What I find the most deeply satisfying in my work as a Naturopath is the act of deep listening. ¬†So, I would say that 75% of what I “do” in my naturopathic work ¬†is listening to the client’s story, whether it is told in words over a cup of tea, or communicated through the body during Reiki, Reflexology or Manual Lymphatic Drainage. Even as I relished studying biochemical pathways, ¬†my spiritual inquiry continued to deepen. ¬† Like many who will read this, ¬†a winding path led me to Dolores Cannon. ¬† When I heard about QHHT training, it literally felt like every cell in my body was on fire with the word, “YES!” ¬† So, in April of 2011, I made that memorable trip to Arkansas and took Level One QHHT training from Dolores. ¬†What a blessing to experience her incredible, warm and joyful energy! ¬† I have never met anyone quite like her. ¬†A few months later, ¬†with ten sessions under my belt, I headed out to Portland, Oregon for Level Two, ¬†and the rest is history! QHHT is my passion. I have learned so much about healing in every aspect, but I feel that QHHT has brought me full circle, back to Spirit, back to the source of our healing. ¬†There is no better feeling than watching the transformation that occurs with this work.
