I’m a mom of four, lifelong learner and a natural healer with a passion for health, mindfulness, movement, meditation and nutrition. Recently I’ve become aware of my neurodivergence and continue to learn as much as possible on the subject. Two of my children are queer and trans.
My sessions often combine knowledge of many different modalities. My toolbox is varied and I prefer to make recommendations based on what is going to work the best in each session.
When I’m not working I’m hiking, kayaking, paddle-boarding, or studying, or I may be binge watching Good Omens and planted on my couch. It’s about balance.
What do I do?
