About Me

Career Objective: To exceed each client’s expectations through an integrative and holistic approach to wellness.

 

Background: I have over a decade of experience in the field of alternative wellness, both as a practitioner and as a business owner. Having already owned and managed a successful center in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, I am very aware of and prepared to fulfill the needs of any wellness related business, center or private client. As a therapist/practitioner I have extensive studies and practical experience in a variety of modalities and educational services. As a seeker of better health myself, after many years of not finding answers and having pharmaceuticals pushed at me, the search which led me on this path of knowledge for my own health is the same path that has fueled my passion of bringing this knowledge to others.
