My Story: Bridging Science, Creativity, and Healing

My journey has always been about understanding how things work and how they fit together. From my early days in the chemistry lab to years spent in the classroom as a certified teacher, I’ve always been fascinated by the process of discovery. Even in my work as a data-minded professional bookkeeper and laboratory technician, I found beauty in precision. But life eventually taught me that data and logic are only half the picture. Navigating my own path through complex personal healing showed me that true wellness requires looking at the whole person—mind, body, and creative spirit.

Today, my work has expanded into a beautiful, tri-fold approach designed to support your nervous system, emotional growth, and inner creativity. I combine my scientific analytical background with deep empathy to offer a unique, heart-centered practice.

Three Ways We Can Work Together

  • NewMind Neurofeedback: Using my background in hard science and data analysis, I utilize advanced qEEG technology to map your brainwaves. Neurofeedback acts as an objective, data-driven mirror, helping you retrain your brain to shift out of chronic survival loops and step into lasting regulation and mental focus. Learn more on my Neurofeedback Services Page.

  • Trauma-Informed Coaching: Because brain training is most powerful when paired with emotional safety, I am actively training through Moving the Human Spirit (MTHS) and working toward my International Coaching Federation (ICF) credentials. Whether you are navigating complex trauma, chronic stress, or everyday burnout, I provide a compassionate space to process and integrate your growth.

  • Create and Connect (Card Classes): I still passionately believe that when we create with our hands, we open a door to our inner world. My unique card classes bring a touch of mindfulness, journaling, and mapping into a safe, facilitated art session. You will leave with a handcrafted piece of art and a deeper connection to your own story. Explore upcoming workshops on my Card Classes Page.

Grounded in Lived Experience

My commitment to this work is deeply personal. After repressing difficult memories until the age of 40, I had to do the intensive, active work required to navigate complex post-traumatic stress. Tuning into my emotions was the vital first step, and introducing neurofeedback became the next crucial layer of my healing.

I am still actively on my own journey today, which keeps my practice grounded in reality. I know what it feels like to live in chronic survival, and I know the work it takes to regulate your system and come back home to yourself. Whether we are looking at your brain map, sitting in a coaching session, or creating art together, my goal is to guide you toward a more resilient, peaceful, and connected life.
