About

My interest in health, wellness, and healing began as a child. I grew up with a grandparent who had seizures, and it was my responsibility to know how to manage them when they occurred. I went on to become a registered nurse. I was always drawn to the patients who were considered “difficult,” as I knew there were emotions such as fear, worry, and lack of control that were contributing to their actions and reactions. I knew that if they felt heard, reassured, and given small areas of control, they were never “difficult” patients for me.

In 2001, my husband and I created an integrated healing center. There were Naturopaths, Chiropractors, a Physical Therapist, and massage therapists all working together for our clients. This is when I became aware of energy and its healing properties. I then became very ill with Lyme disease and 3 other tick-borne diseases. I only knew of 1 antibiotic that I could tolerate, and it was not going to be effective for Lyme. I began to search for other healing options. I discovered Field Control Therapy, which proved to be very effective for me. I went on to get trained in FCT so I could offer it to my family as our “health insurance plan”.

During this time, while doing the training, I became aware of the need also to address the emotional aspects to provide a truly “holistic” approach. I admittedly had a lot of my own emotional baggage. I felt like I was dragging a 55-gallon black garbage bag around full of my traumas and emotions. I had done talk therapy, which brought a certain level of relief. I then became familiar with Dr. Bradley Nelson, DC. I read his book Emotion Code and began incorporating it with my FCT sessions. I found releasing trapped emotions allowed me to no longer be reactionary to situations; with the trapped emotions gone I was able to use reason and logic to choose my responses. It was so freeing. I then did sessions on my spouse, as many marriages can be challenging. As a result of clearing his trapped emotions, both of us will gladly admit we believe it truly saved our marriage.
