Most people don’t experience their health in separate compartments.

Physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual factors are always interacting — whether medicine acknowledges that or not.

When I combine intuitive pattern recognition with my training and scope as a nurse practitioner, I’m often able to investigate further — ordering the labs, imaging, and clinical evaluations needed to back up what we’re seeing and feeling — so people can access tools that actually move the needle.

This clip touches on why I practice the way I do: not as “either/or,” but as an integrated approach to whole human care.

When we stop fragmenting people, clarity tends to emerge. 🔍🧬

The body speaks long before it breaks down.
Symptoms aren’t the enemy — they’re information.

When we listen instead of ignoring them, the body gives us data.
Data creates options.
Options create agency so we can chose our path path.

That’s the foundation of deep, detective-level medicine — and why I call my work Instinctive Wellness.

Your symptoms are a map back to your best self. 🧭

⚡ Reiki and energy therapies work with the electromagnetic (EM) fields that surround and move through the body — something modern science can now observe and measure.

What matters most, though, is how this is felt: a calmer nervous system, reduced stress levels, release of trauma-held patterns in the body and more coherent energetic flow so the body can begin to repair itself.

This is the lens I teach from.

Reiki isn’t about forcing energy or “doing it right”... it’s about learning to listen, regulate, and work with what the body already knows how to do.

If you tend to feel things deeply or pick up easily on others’ emotions or environments, this matters. Sensitivity isn’t something to override or manage away...it’s something to understand and work with in a safe and sustainable way.

✨ I’m also teaching a Reiki Level 1 class for Empaths / HSPs in February for those who feel called to learn Reiki in a grounded, nervous-system-aware way... starting with learning Reiki for self-care, and also to support others while using healthy energetic boundaries.

This clip is just a snapshot.

🎄 Still looking for a meaningful last-minute Christmas gift? 🎁

Reiki sessions offer a chance to come back into yourself—to feel grounded, centered, and more fully seated in your body. Many people describe the experience as their nervous system finally exhaling, and feeling like themselves again.

Beyond relaxation, Reiki often brings gentle intuitive feedback about areas where the body, emotions, or soul may need extra support—insight that can help guide day-to-day self-care in a grounded, practical way.

🎄 Reiki sessions: $110
🍬 90 minutes with Reiki + time for integration, and reflection
🕯️ Trauma-informed, gentle, and deeply restorative

🎁 Digital gift certificates available — perfect for last-minute giving!

A gift of presence, regulation, and coming home to yourself. 🌿
