I knew I wanted to be a teacher from the time I learned to read and write. At twenty I started teaching seventh grade in an inner city school. But eleven years later, deeply buried emotions were triggered by my mother’s death and I didn’t know what to do with them. I took time off and studied Reflexology, nutrition and vegetarian cooking with incredible teachers.

When I changed my diet I lost twenty pounds and my food allergies disappeared. I felt better, had more energy and was excited to share what I was learning with my friends. That’s when I discovered my passion for helping people be physically well.

I moved to San Diego and did a master’s degree in Body Therapy. I also became a Holistic Health Practitioner and started my new career as a massage therapist. Then a door opened that I never knew existed. A friend handed me a brochure for a five day workshop led by Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and I knew I had to go.

Instead of talking about death and dying, Elisabeth taught us how to fully live by releasing our repressed emotions. It was exactly what I needed to learn! My heart told me it was also what I’d come here to teach. A few months later I took Elisabeth’s Emotional Release Facilitator Training.

As I released the backlog of sadness, anger and fear from my childhood trauma, my life changed in profound ways. I felt freer, clearer and happier. Healthier in every way. And not long after, I met and married the love of my life.

I’m grateful I listened to the wake-up call that my mother’s death provided. Being overwhelmed with emotions motivated me to want to heal myself. Then I was led to the people who taught me how to be healthy, physically and emotionally. It’s my joy to pass on what I’ve learned to the people who are led to me.
