“We all have the power to heal ourselves through breath and sacred movement.”

I was just beginning to explore what soul work was all about when I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. My journey really began in 2006 when I realized my output was way more than my input.  I gave from a place of feeling lack and became prone to sickness all the time. I had been working in the restaurant industry which was very toxic and emotionally challenging for me.  Also being a native of Chicago, I felt my immune system needed to be stronger. I knew there was a way to reclaim my energy and be grounded.

One of my first online experiences was meeting my teacher, Sifu Gail Galivan, who passed down a Medical Qi Gong lineage to me.  I remember my very first Qi Gong session gave me a deep sense of relaxation and connection. It was as if my brain suddenly rewired itself to a state of balance. All I needed to do was guide my body using breath and a particular movement, and my energy would shift. From then on I took private lessons, and eventually group classes. As I became more in tune to my own rhythms, my overall health improved and I felt so much more confident. This was a life changing feeling, and I knew I had to share this simple, yet mind-blowing practice with others.

I became a Certified Medical Qi Gong Instructor in 2012 in a classic master- disciple teacher training, and continue to be inspired by its benefits today. 

I’ve learned that in order to live a life that you want, you must feel confident from being in a more relaxed place of awareness. So it is my passion and purpose to help you get grounded, energized, and present so that you can feel good from the inside out. I’ve witnessed such tremendous healing, growth and transformation in others whom I have had the pleasure to work with over the last 12 years, so I know that it is all possible!

I work with people from all walks of life and backgrounds, meeting each person where they are at. I’ve empowered those who have chronic pain, high stress, anxiety, arthritis, parkinson’s, PTSD, brain injuries, neuropathy, limited range of motion, psoriasis, fibromyalgia, a-fib, PCOS, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis, cancer, and scoliosis to name a few.

The mindfulness of my practice has given me the perseverance to pursue all things soulful.  Cultivating Qi is an ever expanding experience that leaves me humbled and grateful. It is true what they say, the external world mirrors the internal one.
