A little about me - I grew up surrounded by the old growth forests and lush greenery of Washington state. Dancing was my passion from the age of 5 years old until my early 20's when I moved to California and graduated with a dual bachelors in Cultural Anthropology and Art. I spent a year studying abroad in Thailand, immersing myself in Asia's vibrant culture and breathtaking natural landscapes—truly one of the most enriching periods of my life. I have spent many years since immersing myself in the studies of western and eastern herbalism and natural ways of healing, and I absolutely love all things food and cooking.

I have lived, traveled, and volunteered throughout the world, from Brazil to Bali, Greece to Mexico, China to Guatemala, Peru to Burma, and beyond. I learned early-on that we can experience profound connection through the many languages that we express beyond the verbal. 

I have always been interested in the raw undercurrent of experience and the wisdom that emerges from within. More clarity came when I was introduced to Thich Nhat Hahn’s monastic community at the Thai Plum Village International Practice Center in Thailand. I was guided through the compassion-based practices of meditation and mindfulness, which cracked my heart wide open.

Experiencing the interconnectedness of our human family and Mother Earth revealed a bond that transcends time and space. A passionate dedication was activated within me: to live and work for inclusive, integral, personal transformation and together, a global collective transformation.

Discovering breathwork and Reiki a few years later was a powerful experience of 'remembering' my life purpose. Since then I dove deep into my own inner work, as well as pursued extensive studies in clinical social work, trauma, breathing sciences, psychophysiology, somatics, embodiment, and energy work. My current practice, Soul Springs Wellness, is a convergence of my life's many streams flowing into one.

Learning (and unlearning) is a life-long path and these practices have taken me down many. Through the realms of the conscious and unconscious, science and art, body and energy, personal and transpersonal, birth and death, tangible and metaphysical...the more I learn, the more I make space for it ALL, the more I delight in the depth and dance of living this miracle called, life.
