REGULATED SERVICES
For over 35 years, I have practiced as a regulated Speech-Language Pathologist, supporting children, teens, and adults with communication challenges and the complex terrain of social engagement. I have always been fascinated by the brain, behavior, and the hidden architecture of human communication—how we learn, how we connect, what unlocks expression, how we receive information, and how the biofield communicates beneath language. Over time, this curiosity naturally pulled me into deeper layers of healing and consciousness. As an Integrative SLP, my regulated services include cognitive-communication therapy, social-communication support, executive-function coaching, ABI rehabilitation, language and speech work, and mindfulness-informed approaches woven into communication therapy where appropriate.
NON – REGULATED SERVICE
My understanding of human healing is rooted not only in training, but in lived experience. My story is shared in Chapter 27 of Dr. Gabor Maté’s The Myth of Normal, where he reflects on the inner landscapes I learned to navigate during my natural recovery from advanced cancer. That period of my life invited me into a deeper relationship with intuition, alignment, and the subtle intelligence of the body. It taught me that healing is a remembering rather than a striving, a gentle return to what has always belonged to us.
Alongside my regulated work, I also serve as a Somatic and Vibrational Healing Coach, offering non-regulated services that include hypnosis and subconscious re-patterning, MBSR-informed practices, somatic grounding, energy-based coherence work, and quantum-inspired modalities such as QHHT. These approaches support clients in reconnecting with intuition, clarity, and their own innate potential, leading them ultimately back to their signature Self.
Across all roles, my purpose remains the same: to help each person reclaim their voice: expressive, emotional, energetic, and coherent as they return to the fullness of who they truly are. That is How Healing Happens!
