I graduated from Pacific Rim College in 2012 at the top of my class. I have since completed additional training with Masters of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with MDs that specialize in chronic pain and trauma, with well-respected yogis and meditation teachers, and with witches and wise women. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to study systems outside of my culture and lineage, to learn from alternate paradigms and lenses, and more recently to dive deep into my own ancestral healing traditions.
I have given thousands of treatments in community acupuncture clinics and have worked one-on-one with people desiring deeper, more individualized work. I’ve also provided auricular acupuncture in various settings such as medical detox facilities, harm reduction programs, and in post-correctional reintegration.
I have a passion for supporting folks through mental health challenges and trauma. I have lived experience of mania, psychosis, post-traumatic stress and clinical depression, as well as postpartum psychosis, anxiety and depression. My experiences of mental illness and extreme states continue to facilitate self-discovery, and I feel strongly about sharing what I’ve learned through recovery and integration. I continue to learn and grow in my own practices of movement, writing, plant medicine and parenting.
