My work is rooted in a lifelong interest in how people heal, adapt, and develop healthier relationships with themselves and the world around them.
Looking back now, the path here makes more sense: from as early as I can remember, I struggled with severe skin issues. I tried all sorts of medicines and remedies, from steroid creams to emu oil and everything in between. Chinese medicine eventually had a profound impact at an early age and helped set the stage for ultimately overcoming those challenges; but nearly every night during that time, I would ask one of my parents, "can you rub my back?" It helped more than anything . Touch - human connection - is how I best learned to regulate, to rest, to heal.
I also grew up on a small organic farm where quality food and other natural approaches to health were part of everyday life. From an early age, I knew that health is influenced by far more than what happens in a doctor's office. As a teenager and young adult, I suffered from more debilitating injuries and illness that limited me from many activities I'd done for years and forced me to rethink what was really important.
I spent countless hours learning about the body and delved deeper into herbal medicine and ecology, Chinese medicine and different traditional healing systems. As I sought relief for myself, I found that I was fascinated not only by the remedies and practices, but by the larger relationships between health, culture, landscape, food, and daily life. Those experiences sparked a curiosity that has guided much of my life and work since.
