About me

I am a retired, licensed Speech and Language Pathologist, University Clinical Supervisor and Educator, with a background in Science, Foreign Languages, Education, and Communication. As a Speech and Language Pathologist I specialized in the treatment of Schoolage Speech and Language Disorders, Autism Spectrum and other Social Pragmatic Language Disorders, and Stuttering. I bring two decades of experience working with individuals with learning and communication challenges to my practice as an energy healer.

I studied and became certified as a ThetaHealer, a meditative form of spiritual energy healing, after experiencing its effectiveness as a healing modality in my own life.

I first encountered energy medicine when I received a spiritual healing from a friend. Shortly thereafter, Dr. John Strachs, MD, of the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Northwestern University recommended acupuncture treatment, another form of energy healing, for my chronic illness, explaining to my husband and me that, “while in the Western Medical Tradition we are not able to explain why it works, thousands of years of successful practice has shown that acupuncture is effective as a healing modality."

A month after the spiritual healing session and three weeks of acupuncture treatments, I experienced a major shift in my illness, energy levels, and well-being. I decided to learn more about energy healing and how I could continue to use it to support the healing that was taking place in my body.

There are many types of energy healing available to people support their physical, spiritual and emotional healing and well-being. Meditation, Yoga, Tai Chi, are some commonly practiced forms.

ThetaHealing, the form of energy healing that I practice, is intended to support and compliment traditional western medicine and other evidence based therapies - not to be a replacement or alternative to them.

It is my hope that by sharing my experience, others will be encouraged to embark upon or continue their own healing journey.
