From Microsoft to Energy Medicine

When I was working for Microsoft with a Masters in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Washington in hand, I wouldn’t have imagined that one day I’d be communicating with the spirits of unborn babies and working with energy. I lived and worked with concrete data—and loved it. “If you can’t measure it, then it doesn’t exist.” That was the foundation of my work.

When I was in my late-20s I was injured in a car accident and was told by my doctors that I would have to learn to live with pain in my jaw for the rest of my life. Unwilling to swallow that pill, I took a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course and underwent craniosacral therapy at the recommendation of a friend. To everyone’s astonishment, I was pain-free in six months and have remained so ever since.

Years later when I had difficulty conceiving my second child, I stepped outside conventional medicine again. I had tried many things: consultations with reproductive endocrinologists, Clomid, IUIs, acupuncture and restorative yoga. Ultimately, it was energy medicine and the insights of Walter Makichen, renowned fertility intuitive and author of Spirit Babies, that helped me to get pregnant and give birth to a delightful daughter who is now in elementary school.

The car accident introduced me to the idea that there’s more to health than meets the eye. My path to fertility cracked open my intuition and helped me to heal old traumas, including a devastating miscarriage and the death of my mother when I was 10. To get there, I had to learn how to slow down and let go—not an easy task for a lifetime Type A super achiever.

I felt called to evolve my learning and integrate what our culture calls complementary or alternative healing practices. My unique background allows me to offer many different approaches, including Intuition Medicine® and energy healing, stress reduction techniques, and yoga.
