About Me

I’m a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, and trauma-aware healing practitioner with over 17 years of experience supporting transformation through the body, nervous system, subconscious mind, and emotional landscape. My work is deeply grounded, integrative, and embodied—rooted in the understanding that true healing doesn’t come from bypassing pain or chasing quick transformation, but from creating safety, awareness, regulation, and sustainable change from the inside out.

The foundation of my work—and the evolution of my approach within Balanced Mind & Body Co. LLC—was shaped through profound personal loss, trauma, and rebuilding. Within a year and a half, I lost both my father and grandmother, two central pillars in my life. Around that same time, I experienced a severe illness and major life stressors that forced me to confront my own nervous system exhaustion, grief, identity shifts, and emotional survival patterns.

What followed was not a sudden awakening or polished healing journey. It was a slow and honest process of learning how the body stores stress, how subconscious patterns shape behavior, and how healing requires more than mindset alone. I had to learn how to reconnect with my body, regulate my nervous system, process grief safely, and rebuild my life in a way that was sustainable and aligned.

That lived experience deeply informs how I work with others today. Through clinical hypnotherapy, therapeutic massage, Reiki, and somatic awareness, I help clients move beyond intellectual insight into deeper integration—where emotional healing, behavioral change, nervous system regulation, and embodiment can work together in a practical and grounded way.

The Work I Offer

My work integrates clinical hypnotherapy, therapeutic massage, Reiki, somatic awareness, and intuitive guidance to support deep, sustainable healing. I draw from a diverse background that includes behavioral health, wellness education, and nearly two decades of body-based therapeutic work. This allows me to hold space in a way that is both intuitive and clinically grounded—honoring emotional depth while remaining rooted in nervous system regulation, embodiment, and real-world integration.

Through clinical hypnotherapy, I help clients work with subconscious patterns, stress responses, emotional conditioning, and behavioral change. Through therapeutic massage and Reiki, I support the body’s natural ability to regulate, release tension, process stored stress and trauma, and reconnect with a greater sense of balance and safety within itself.

I don’t believe in rushing clarity or forcing breakthroughs. Healing unfolds in its own timing. My role is not to fix you, but to support and empower you in reconnecting with yourself, releasing what no longer serves, and creating lasting change from a place of integrity, awareness, and embodied truth.

This work is especially supportive for those who have already “done a lot of healing” and are ready to move beyond intellectual understanding into deeper integration—where insight becomes lived transformation.

How I Work

I offer clinical hypnotherapy sessions via Zoom and in person, therapeutic massage, and Reiki sessions available both virtually and in person. Each offering is designed to meet you where you are—without pressure, urgency, or surface-level approaches to healing.

My work is rooted in nervous system awareness, subconscious transformation, and embodied healing. Through clinical hypnotherapy, therapeutic massage, and Reiki, we work with both the mind and body to support emotional regulation, stress reduction, behavioral change, and deeper self-connection.

This process is invitational. We respond to what is present, allow clarity and healing to unfold naturally, and focus on sustainable, integrated change rather than temporary fixes or performative transformation.

A Bit About Me, Personally

I’m originally from Arizona, spent 20 years in Chicago, and later spent several years in the Hill Country of Texas, where the slower pace and natural landscape deeply supported my healing and personal growth. Eventually, I felt called to return home to Arizona—to reconnect with my roots, realign with myself, and continue building the work I now offer through Balanced Mind & Body Co. LLC.

I share my life with my three companions: Maska, my German Shepherd; Chance, my Jack Russell mix; and Linus, my black cat. They are daily teachers in presence, attunement, and nervous system wisdom—lessons that inform my work more than any credential ever could.

An Invitation

If you’re seeking deeper healing that is grounded, trauma-aware, and rooted in real integration—not quick fixes or surface-level transformation—you’re in the right place. My work through Balanced Mind & Body Co. LLC combines clinical hypnotherapy, therapeutic massage, Reiki, and nervous system-informed support to help you reconnect with yourself in a sustainable and embodied way.

This is work for those who are ready to move beyond simply understanding their patterns and into living differently—creating change that is felt in the body, reflected in daily life, and aligned with who they truly are.

You’re welcome to explore at your own pace. Healing doesn’t need to be forced or rushed. When the timing feels right, I’ll be here.
