I have lost count how many times I've amended my bio and about what I do. I realize as of this current iteration of writing this "About" section that I could easily write a novel of all the experiences/education I've had, how they've all affected me and what I do as a result of it. As I sat with this, I realized that this is essentially what Wellness Weaving is all about. It's about being aware of and understanding all the different threads that make up our existence and honoring our gifts. By doing my own work around this, I have reclaimed more of my authentic self. It has been so freeing! I want to share what I have learned and am still learning about honoring our whole being. 

I see the connections between our body, mind, and heart and the different ways that they manifest. There are things we can do to understand and honor your gifts. That's what I'm here for. When you are ready we can work together to reveal and understand your unique threads and how to honor them as part of your weave.

Brief Educational Summary​

I started studying music education at Doane College (now a university) in Nebraska where I had two music scholarships (voice and clarinet). I studied voice with Stephen Bobst and clarinet with Dr. David Breckbill. I had a few experiences during my years at Doane that influenced my decision to transfer to Southwest MN State University (SMSU) where I received my BA in theatre (directing and vocal coaching), English (creative writing), and art (multi-media). I then attended Saint Paul College where I received my certificate in massage therapy. I knew I wanted to specialize in myofascial release therapy (MFR), so I took many seminars taught by John F. Barnes. I started learning about the enneagram while I was at SMSU but it wasn't until 2011 when I had an experience at a myofascial release seminar that changed the direction of my career. John F. Barnes was holding up a plastic sacrum in his hand to demonstrate a technique. I suddenly realized that I was also seeing the figure of the enneagram mapped onto the sacrum. That realization got me to dive deeper into enneagram patterns in the body. From there I received enneagram teacher training from Anne Murée, Dynamic Enneagram Using Neuro-Linguistic Programming Certification with Tom Condon, additional teacher training through Moving Forward Australia, and I'm an IEA (International Enneagram Association) Accredited Professional. For the past few years I have also been studying under Andrea Isaacs (founder of EnneaMotion), Russ Hudson (co-author of "Wisdom of the Enneagram"), and Catherine Bell (founder of The Awakened Company). I'm always learning new things by taking continuing education classes of all kinds and also by facilitating workshops. I've been taking composition lessons with Dr. Raphael Fusco.​
