Healing Arts

About me

My work with energy and the body is informed by my lifetime in dance — with more than 25 years of professional experience in performance, teaching, choreography, and musical collaboration.

I have chosen to practice Polarity Therapy because I’ve experienced powerful growth and transformation in myself through this work, in conjunction with my long-time practitioner/mentor Beth Adler-Duthé.

In my early 20s, life challenges led me on a slow and steady road towards working in holistic healing. I started exploring yoga and meditation, herbal medicine, and many forms of mind-body movement. All of these practices have nurtured me personally, and have enriched my work as a teacher, creative artist, and energy healer.

In 2017, I became severely sick with what turned out to be late-diagnosis Lyme Disease and Babesiosis. Through this life-changing illness, I found energy healing modalities (like Reiki, sound healing, and Polarity) to be especially supportive, in conjunction with treatment through naturopathic medicine.

Eventually I decided to seek out professional training in Polarity Therapy, with Brian Jansen at the Polarity Therapy Institute in San Francisco. I completed my 800-hour training in 2024 and am a Board Certified Polarity Practitioner through APTA (the American Polarity Therapy Association).

I am pleased to practice now in two locations — in my home in Boston, and at Sacred Heart Center in Kennebunk, Maine, a place where I have received so much healing myself.
