How I practice?

I utilize a pendulum and muscle testing to identify what is going on in the body. Muscle testing is a way to get energetic biofeedback from the body. It is widely understood that we use very little of our brain's capacity. Our conscious mind is quite limited, and can only do so much without getting sidetracked. The much greater part of our brain power lies in the subconscious mind. This part of our brain is active all of the time, and records everything we have encountered and experienced. Every face we have seen, every memory, every illness or injury, every painful thought. Our subconscious knows everything about our bodies, and muscle testing allows us to bring that subconscious information to conscious awareness. Through muscle testing, I am able to find out exactly what is causing someone to be chronically ill or uncomfortable, whether it is pathogens, trauma, or environmental toxins, and what their body needs and wants to get better.

In session, I will muscle test your/your child's symptoms along with your body's foundations (such as organs and meridians) to get a read on what's going on in the body. This can be done virtually as energy does not know distance or time. We know this because of the quantum physics theory of quantum entanglement. I ask yes or no questions and observe the movement of the pendulum which swings one way or another based on your nervous system's energetic response to my question. Through this method, we will uncover what is driving dis-ease in the body, and what conditions your body needs in order to recalibrate and heal.



What do I believe and what is my approach?

I believe that we need to be free from the lies of diet culture, perfectionism & reconnect with our bodies’ innate wisdom…..

Too many kids and adults today suffer from a wide range of complex conditions. For many of us, deep levels of toxicity and trauma block our ability to feel at home in our bodies. And our symptoms defy one-size-fits-all prescriptions. Our symptoms may even defy simple conventional diagnosis. Too often, dis-ease in the body is addressed using a band-aid symptom-suppressing approach. This, unfortunately, perpetuates the problem and does not address what is actually causing imbalance in the body. As a root cause holistic health practitioner, my primary focus is uncovering the true causes of your or your child's symptoms, and eliminating them completely. This means looking beyond skin ailments, and addressing what is causing the rashes. It means digging deeper than sensory sensitivities, and identifying what is causing the sensory sensitivities. It also means looking beyond a modern day chronic illness diagnosis, and uncovering what is at the root of that condition. No amount of OT, ABA, psychotherapy, neurofeedback, or __________ will resolve symptoms if the root cause is parasites or a stealthy strep infection. This approach is about uncovering the true causes of your or your child's discomfort, and addressing them appropriately, so that you can be your healthiest selves. 


No two children develop at the same rate. I value respecting each child's innate developmental timetable, encouraging their natural process, and meeting each child where he or she is at. Development is not a race. It is an opportunity to lay each building block on top of the last one in order to create the strongest foundation possible, organically. I optimize this process by providing the conditions for your child's brain and nervous system to work at the level necessary for mastering new skills and discovering their next unique ability. And I teach you how to, also!

Science shows that kids learn and master skills with the combination of 3 essential things; play and exploration in an enriching environment, rich sensory and movement experiences, and a loving engaged caregiver. Whether you are interested in home-based OT, one-on-one virtual consultations, or my online courses, implementing this scientifically proven powerful trio is at the heart of everything I do as it relates to occupational therapy.
