My Bio

I'm a mom with a day job as a healthcare provider, and reiki is my side passion project. I have worked as a healer in conventional healthcare for 7 years and found reiki in 2021 after my pregnancy loss. I have studied and practiced reiki under Alana Basamanowicz of Intuitive Energy Healing where I have developed my intuitive gifts and bend toward perinatal healing. Prior to practicing reiki, I earned a Bachelor's degree in liberal arts, Master of Science degree, and I have spent years practicing/studying pathophysiology and nervous system regulation-and now I can align this beautiful blend of healing arts, science, somatics and spirituality to your specific reiki goals. This makes for a powerfully nurturing and multifaceted reiki experience best suited for those: needing reprieve from the perinatal season | undergoing a challenging rebirth | feeling tapped from caregiving | or seeking relief for specific physical pain or health conditions.

My Bio

Creator/Owner of Embodied Mind Healing. I'm a licensed massage therapist, yoga and meditation guide, sound healer, Reiki practitioner, and Watsu provider, passionate about integrative health, creative exploration, and the innate healing power of Mother Nature, embodied in every living being. All of my work is highly intuitive and client-centered, catered around the individual's present moment needs and wellness goals.

I began my studies as a Psychology undergrad at CSU, where I was first introduced to Yoga and meditation. Intrigued by the relationship between body and mind, I decided to leave Fort Collins and dive into the art of massage therapy at the Colorado School of Healing Arts in Lakewood. There, I was trained in Swedish massage, deep tissue, neuromuscular, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, postural analysis, basic sports massage, and polarity therapy. I earned my massage license in the Fall of 2014 and immediately saw Yoga as the next essential step to maintaining the newfound freedom I discovered in my body through massage.

I completed the 200 Hour YTT program at Samadhi Center for Yoga and Meditation in Denver along with two additional levels of Yoga Nidra Facilitator training with Jeremy Wolf in 2015. I immediately began teaching classes and workshops at a variety of studios, in one-on-one sessions with my massage clients, and at local art and music festivals. The seeds of my sound healing practice were sown at this time as vedic chanting and kirtan were two of my favorite practices learned at Samadhi, alongside Yoga Nidra, the art of Yogic Sleep. The program was primarily focused on Hatha Yoga, integrating Ayurveda, vinyasa, yin, restorative, meditation, and yogic philosophy throughout.

Meanwhile, I started exploring the use of sensory deprivation therapy (also known as float therapy), and fell in love with the healing power of water as I grew my mobile bodywork practice along the Front Range. While operating my practice out of a float center in Boulder, I developed the dream of someday combining float therapy with live sound, and met my mentors in sound healing, who taught me the art of kirtan, how to work with solfeggio frequency tuning forks, and how to craft soundscape journeys for breathwork and meditation classes.

I added Reiki to my practice in 2022, receiving the level 1 & 2 attunements through Jeremy Wolf and the Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage. In 2023, I completed levels 1 & 2 of Watsu training with Ahara Vatter, officially becoming a provider through the Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association in early 2024.
I am very grateful and excited to bring all of these skills together in one space and to serve the Fort Collins community, where I first began my healing journey.
