I am a certified Jin Shin Jyutsu, Reiki II, Therapeutic Touch, Integral Breath Therapy, Yoga Therapy Body Psychology, Medical Qigong, Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Dancing Mindfulness teacher who offers integrative healing arts to people and animals throughout Riverdale/Fieldston, NYC, and Kent, CT in private sessions, group classes and virtual-meets worldwide.

I have had the wonderful privilege of being a Pre-K through 12th classroom teacher for over forty years in both public and private schools. I hold professional teaching certificates in New York, Indiana and Connecticut. In the realm of medicine, I have had the honor of being part of a Jin Shin Jyutsu research team for four years (part time) at the Overlook Medical Center in Summit, NJ, offering JSJ to pre/post-surgical hospital patients for anxiety, pain and nausea symptoms on cardiology, neurology, pediatric, labor & delivery, oncology, orthopedic, respiratory and hospice floors. I have also been in private practice offering JSJ treatments to both people and animal clients to best support their health. 

I call upon my collective experience with the following healing modalities to bring an integrative approach to best support others in their wellness journey.
