How I work

As a certified Clinical Hypnotherapist trained at the Hypnotherapy Academy of America, I bring a compassionate, collaborative approach to helping people move past mental and emotional blocks, daily stress, unwanted habits and fears, and to support healing.

With 500 hours of education in Integral Hypnotherapy™, I am one of the few hypnotherapists who have received this level of training from a licensed educational institution. The methodology has been scientifically validated through a 4-year National Institutes of Health-funded study. I am a Fellow of the International Board of Hypnotherapy (Cert. F10426-909) and a Certified Medical Support Clinical Hypnotherapist.

Based on beautiful Salt Spring Island, I have spent much of my life exploring the deep connection between the mind, consciousness, emotional well-being, and personal transformation. That curiosity led me to travel extensively, learning how different cultures approach healing and self-awareness, and ultimately to advanced training in medical support hypnotherapy alongside experienced instructors, physicians and researchers.

A personal understanding of transformation

In my late twenties I faced significant health challenges linked to an autoimmune condition. It became a massive turning point in my life. Through years of dedicated personal growth, hypnosis, mindset work, intentional stress reduction and nervous-system regulation, I experienced first-hand just how deeply our emotional patterns and subconscious conditioning influence our physical vitality and peace of mind.

That journey anchored my belief that when you support the mind and body together, incredible transformation is possible. I can now proudly say that I am cleared of these autoimmune issues! I bring that lived experience, empathy and loving encouragement to every session.

My story

There is a moment in every creator’s life when they feel the insistent pull from somewhere deep within… a whisper that says “there is more”.

But too often that voice gets buried beneath self-doubt, comparison, negative thoughts, and the fear of being seen. You know you are meant to create boldly, to live from your truth, to channel something unmistakably yours… yet something holds you back from stepping into that version of yourself.

I know this path intimately.

For years my own self-worth flickered beneath layers of uncertainty. I questioned my purpose, doubted my voice, went into freeze rather than stepping into the powerful woman I always felt inside. Life cracked me open again and again: loss, rebirth, spiritual upheaval, mental and physical healing, and rebuilding myself from the ground up.

I have always been devoted to art, and hypnosis became the doorway to my authentic personal empowerment. My no return choice of a life lived audaciously became my liberation.

As I cleared the subconscious debris, something awakened: a wild, magnetic, unapologetic creative force. My inner Muse. The moment I stop asking for permission, everything shifted. The moment I trusted my creative intelligence, I realize I am a sovereign being. And now, this is the gift I offer to the people I serve.

Who I work with

I work with people ready to make that big change. You know what that is for you.

Together, we look at your limiting beliefs and fear-based emotions, and then we get to work.

I work with creators: established, emerging, and those who feel it pulsing within their being. You know you are the creator of your life, yet you may feel scared, overwhelmed, self-critical or disconnected from that part of yourself.

Through hypnosis, mentorship and mind mastery, I guide you to:

  • Recognize and transform subconscious blocks
  • Process and understand your emotions
  • Find clarity
  • Trust your vision
  • Reconnect with intuition, eros and inner power
  • Awaken your creative intelligence
  • Embody your creativity
  • Create with devotion instead of self-judgment
  • Return to wellness and vitality
  • Move through major transitions with support

Because creativity is not just something we do. It is who we are. It is our way of healing, expressing truth and communing with a higher power. When we clear the inner static, the Muse returns. We become inspired. We become magnetic. We become the artist of our life.

I help you dissolve self-doubt and awaken your audacious creative power, so you can live freely with wellness and confidence, in alignment with your divine purpose.

This is where you Be the Muse.
