Welcome ~ I am thrilled you are here.

​

Since 2009, I have been working as an Occupational Therapist, and my journey thus far has been both professional and deeply personal.

​

When I first embarked on my healthcare career, it was with the sincere desire to help others achieve optimal health. However, I was struggling with my own well-being.

During my high school years, I began researching chronic fatigue, as I constantly battled exhaustion, pain, anxiety, and weight issues. At just 18, I received a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Then, while raising my children, I started trying various medications without finding any relief. If anything, I felt even worse! Eventually, I made the difficult decision to discontinue all medications and explore what talk therapy might have to offer.  Unfortunately, I found myself resigned to the belief that I would never improve and would continue to dread each day upon waking. It was in my early 30s that a heartbreaking comment from my daughter about my "napping couch" served as a wake-up call, propelling me to take charge of my life. I recalled a nutrition book my physician had recommended when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and at this point I was willing to try literally anything. I started by completely overhauling my diet, and to my astonishment, my fatigue, pain, and anxiety vanished. Finally, I could sleep soundly at night, and the weight effortlessly shed away. This is when I realized my struggles were not merely medical ailments but rather nutritional imbalances.

At the same time of my realization I had been introduced to a therapy modality called Myofascial Release, which I had never encountered before. Initially, I had doubts and questioned the value of the intervention. However, as I began to learn and practice the techniques, I was utterly amazed by the results. Both in myself and in my clients, I witnessed profound changes that surpassed anything I had witnessed in my years of skilled rehabilitation.

These powerful experiences propelled me into a deep exploration of all that the world of natural health has to offer and inspired the creation of Ripplessence. Within this practice, I integrate a range of interventions to assist each client in achieving natural health.

Embracing a truly holistic approach, I address physical, nutritional, psychosocial, and energetic imbalances. You have the flexibility to choose individual interventions or opt for a comprehensive package tailored to your specific needs.

I warmly invite you to explore the services available and encourage you to reach out with any questions by phone, email, or text that you may have.
