I studied at University level as a Biology major in the early 1990's for  almost 4 years.  My Studies were always done from the focus of many different  healing modalities that I was also studying.  In the late 1990's I began  practicing UL Craniosacral therapy, and deepened my knowledge of  Ayurveda working as a yoga teacher and therapist at the Growing Edge in  Big Sur, CA.  

I first visited India, China, Nepal and Tibet in 1991.   

I received certificate of 500  hour study from National Institute of  Ayurvedic Medicine in 1998,  and studied Pancha Karma under Dr Vishundas  Kannan of Kerala, India in 2004.  I received teachings in Siddha Medicine from Dr Shivaraj and Dr. Charles in Auroville, India.  I also studied Marma/Varma with ASIRAM in Pondicheri, India.  

In 2010 I began my formal studies in Sowa Rigpa and immediately began replacing many Naturopathic approaches, that I had been utilizing with the traditional remedial measures  of Sowa Rigpa. 

 In the summers of 2013 and 2014 I studied  and practiced external therapies of Sowa Rigpa in Amdo, Tibet at the top and  famous all Sowa Rigpa Hospital in Malo, under the direction of my primary teacher Dr. Nida Chenagtsang.  I also received teachings in Xining at the Tibetan Medicine College there.   

I received certification in the foundation of Tibetan Medicine by Dr. Nida Chenagtsang, and was immensely blessed to have witnessed such an amazing doctor and human being.  I continue to study and review concepts with Dr. Nida whenever possible, and feel indebted to him for revealing a lifetime of encouragement and consideration.

I was also certified in the foundation of Tibetan Medicine by Tibetan Medicine Education, a distant learning program organized by Dr Pasang Arya who was the administrator of Mentzekhang, the Dalai Lama's Tibetan Medicine College in Dharmsala, India.  

My  thorough knowledge of various modern alternative healing modalities  allows me to understand my clients' journeys of healing and wellness,  and offer them practical advice accordingly.

I have been trained in several subtle energy modalities of healing, including emotional release of severe trauma.  I primarily utilize "parts work" and the Completion Process, an exceptionally effective method taught by Teal Swan for emotional integration, and helpful in almost any  disorder.

The dynamic connection of emotions, energy and traditional elemental healing theories supports the use of this kind of healing work in the traditional healing approaches I use.

I was also certified in Chinese Acupuncture Concepts in Indonesia, with Dr. Acu, the overseer of Acupuncture licensing and certification of all of Indonesia.

 I spent several months in a clinic studying with Dr. Mohammad Sahel Ansari, an integrative practitioner of Unani medicine, formally at Pondicheri and Auroville, India, and descendant/lineage holder of the doctors to the kings of the Mogul empire.  Now lives in Turkey.
