About

Granddaughter of master herbal healer.  Grew up on farm outside of Saratoga.  Middle daughter of nine children.  Grew up catholic, had a strong connection with spiritual helpers.  Studied astrology as a teenager.  Learned Tarot divination and honed intuition in twenties.  Embraced homeopathy as an energy healing modality in forties.  Education: Bachelor’s in Psychology with specialty in drug and alcohol counseling.  Master’s in Human Services.  Graduated nursing school at 57 years old.  Certified in Classical Homeopathy 2013.  Member of North American Society of Homeopaths 2013.  Non-denominational minister since 2000.

Drug and alcohol and family counselor since 1985.  Trauma counselor since 1990.  Study group facilitator for homeopathy, Tarot, astrology since 1990.

Relies heavily on intuition and spiritual helpers in all of my various modalities – nursing, counseling, homeopathy, leading groups.  Draws strongly from self help programs like Alanon, ACOA, AA.  Practice of different levels of being ok with setting up and honoring boundaries (most effectively exercised through Alanon).  Teaching how to get clear about creating and upholding BOUNDARIES.

Homoeopathy relates to the boundary process – people are stuck in emotion, energy system – energy is not flowing.  Remedies dissolve the block and allow energy to start flowing.  Original block is created because of a LACK OF BOUNDARIES.  This can happen through being violated, terrified, coerced into doing things they don’t want to do – which sets up or creates the original block which is the person’s attempt to create a boundary or be self protective.  Addresses self discipline, mental discipline, emotional discipline, physical discipline – balance of these is necessary to be healthy.

Veteran trauma.  Under command.  They have done things they didn’t want to do, seen things they didn’t want to see.  Experienced things they didn’t want to experience.  And being they have rigorous physical discipline they suppress those traumas.  So the trauma comes out as symptom layers that are treated individual rather than addressing the organic whole of they person.  Homeopathy looks at the whole picture, getting to the seat of the block, the trauma to get energy flowing again.
