Radiance Healing Arts is an expression of my expansive, continuously evolving, integration of training, experience and intuitive guidance. By design, our bodies, cells, nature and cycles of life exemplify this creative, metamorphosis of flow. Ever since I can remember I have been fascinated with natural remedies, plants, energy and the universe at large. Exploring and training in health and wellness modalities over the past 20 years brought me to a deeper understanding of the innate intelligence, uniqueness and multilayered (physically, emotionally, energetically) structure of our design. “As above so below, as within as without” (Hermes Trismegistus).
With many techniques to draw from, my tool box holds a wealth of skills and knowledge. I have provided hands-on treatments in a number of wellness clinics and spas in the Okanagan, providing countless numbers of people with massage therapy, manual osteopathic therapy, somatic practices, as well as educating clients with holistic resources.
Attending the Manual Osteopathic Therapy in 2021-2022 bestowed a wealth of skills and knowledge, a wider range of techniques and a deeper holistic approach to facilitating healing, repair and prevention. I am thankful for opportunity to have attended the program and study with such knowledgeable instructors and mentors.
In the last 4 years my knowledge of how the body adapts to unprocessed trauma/experiences has significantly increased. I have integrated a trauma informed lens as well as somatic healing practices that I am excited to share and support my clients with. See the list of courses I have been taking below and click on the tab above for a description of somatic healing.
My approach is also influenced by many years of self development and studies in natural health and wellness, seamlessly integrating hands-on, bodywork and movement (yoga, dance, exercise). My own self care is ever evolving, shifting with the seasons and cycles. Often you will find me hiking, biking, dancing, working out or at home creating culinary delights and cuddling with my cat.
