I love working with people who truly want to evolve and grow in every aspect of their lives.

Background - With the exception of one Australian technique related to the nervous system, the majority of my training comes from the United States, where alternative and complementary medicine approaches are widely studied and taught.

I have been working as a therapist for over 23 years. I began my career specializing in sports injuries. Due to persistent back problems, I had to stop dancing while I was part of a university dance company as a dance major. At the time, I couldn't find any therapists or osteopaths around me who could help me effectively. It took me years to understand the best approach for my back issues. Over time, I developed my own rehabilitation exercises and finally succeeded in healing myself. This experience inspired me to become a therapist specializing in sports injuries.

I noticed that many injuries among athletes, actors, and dancers were sometimes linked to personal or professional emotional stress, and that healing often remained incomplete when these underlying blocks were not addressed.

This realization led me to study EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and Energy Medicine, disciplines closely related to Touch for Health and applied kinesiology. Through this work, I was able to help a broader range of people while deepening my understanding of the Chinese meridian system. I view illnesses, as well as physical or emotional injuries, more like a mystery to be solved—approaching each situation both as a detective and as a coach who encourages and supports clients throughout their journey.

I also became deeply interested in working with the nervous system, as I realized it was sometimes the missing link in certain cases. As I encountered increasingly complex issues and pathologies, I was naturally guided to bring all of my studies together into a more holistic approach.

A few years into my practice, I was no longer surprised to see known or unknown conditions, tumors, and even certain rare diseases improve or sometimes completely disappear as the bodymind regained its balance. In alternative medicine, the "label" of a disease is often less important than understanding the person as a whole. By identifying and correcting imbalances in the energy system as well as emotional stress, the bodymind can gradually return to harmony. Ultimately, the process can be surprisingly simple.

I feel a profound gratitude for what I have come to understand about the bodymind, and I sincerely love sharing this knowledge with others.
