I enrolled at the Rocky Mountain Center for Botanical Studies in Boulder, Colorado, from 1999-2002. Here I trained under legendary herbalists Feather Jones, Michael Moore, Susan Weed, Matthew Becker, Paul Bergner, Brigitte Mars, Matthew Wood, Jyoti Wind, Ann Drucker, and Dr. Jill Stansbury. Upon completing my third year of medicinal plant studies, plant field work, and clinical intern program, I received recognition from the school as a Certified Clinical Herbalist specializing in Vibrational Medicine, which at the time was specifically Flower Essences. I also received vast amounts of herbal training in wildcrafting, earth centered herbalism, medicine making, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and Western Herbalism. My interest to incorporate bodywork with my herbal background blossomed in San Francisco during my years working in Events/Management at Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy on Upper Haight Street. It was in Big Sur at the Esalen Institute where I began my training through Advanced Craniosacral Therapy and at the San Francisco School of Massage where I studied Zen Shiatsu. I continue to educate and TA with the Upledger Institute occassionally at workshops throughout the nation. Along the path, I was first turned onto Craniosacral Therapy in Moab, UT, after a serious climbing injury.UT, was during this time I trained through Advanced Craniosacral Therapy in Big Sur, CA, at the Esalen Institute. This truly amazingly, subtle therapy is one of my main passions and I am a TA for the Upledger Institute at presenting workshops nationally and internationally. Through personal experiences I perceive the human being as an energetic, holographic system. I believe all presenting ailments stem from vibrational patterns of energy, whether they are physical, spiritual, or emotional in quality. I offer sacred space for you to achieve greater health on all dimensions and invite you into the world of herbal medicine and healing bodywork. All you have to do is have an open mind. I currently have a private practice and work seasonally at The Peaks Spa in Telluride and Spa Moab. I continue to wildcraft and make medicine in the deserts and mountains of the West and I am currently working on a traveling botanical apothecary, Apotheca de Corazon, which will be a collective of herbal products from local and regional herbalists. The vision of Apotheca de Corazon is to bring the power of plant medicines to the people.
