You know the way you feel when you spend time by the shore? Find it, and take it with you when you leave.
Rumi says “You are not just a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop.”
We are lucky to live by these magical waters of Lake Winnipeg. I invite you to explore the offerings of my practice for ways to improve relaxation and sense of safety, reduce emotional and physical pain, and feel better.
*By appointment only in Gimli, Manitoba. Some services are available by distance/online.
About me
I relocated from the Cooks Creek area to the Interlake in 2025 as I was intentionally slowing down a career helping businesses transform and helping their employees prepare for change. For decades I have dabbled in teaching workshops, experiencing and learning various ways to climb the same mountain - realizing eventually that it all begins and ends in energy. Call it vibe, gut instinct, reactions - everything our body and mind experiences is based on energy. We tend to tune out what our body’s natural responses tell us. I learned this by working with horses years ago as they read energy, and energy doesn’t lie. I personally believe that most of us unlearn the most valuable skills we were born with, and spend the rest of our lives trying to find them again.
My own healing journey led me to learn coaching, working with horses, art therapy, various modalities of working with energy in the body, and the power of sound and vibration. These tools have been immensely powerful to me and to the people I have worked with.
If you want to read more about these topics, I encourage you to find me on Substack or follow me on Facebook.
Services
1:1 Nervous System Coaching and Counselling
Learn and apply somatic techniques to help better regulate your nervous system response. Trauma-informed practices that allow you to rewire your automatic and unconscious responses, without having to relive and explain it all again. This is ideal for you if you have tried many things but need ways to cope when you are triggered, and want to feel a sense of security and peace. You can’t think your way through what your body automatically perceives as a threat at the subconscious level. The wonderful news is your brain is neuroplastic, and can wire new pathways in your nervous system so it reacts appropriately, as you are biologically designed to do.
Energy Healing
If you are looking for deep relaxation, and unlocking your body’s blocks and innate healing, an energy session might be a good way to begin. I draw on different modalities including BodyTalk, Holy Fire Reiki and the power of sound and frequencies to tap into your body’s priorities for healing. The great thing about these modalities is they are science-backed, but are energy driven. All you need to do is sit or lay quietly, and receive what you need in the moment. There are many modalities and theories, but the basic concept is disruption in energy, like a faulty transmission in a car, causes illness and diseases (or an engine to run rough!)
Coming soon - Vibroacoustic Therapy
Be the first in Manitoba to receive the power of sound you can feel. Vibroacoustic therapy is not new, but it is new to the region. VAT applies specific frequencies, customized to your interest or health condition to bring your body’s frequencies to their prime state. The same application of frequencies that give you ultrasound diagnoses, break up kidney stones in hospital or dental plaque at the dentist, are delivered through a special sound table or chair. Whether you are looking for relaxation, pain or symptom relief, VAT is a non-invasive therapy customized and delivered to you under certified supervision. I am excited to bring this to the Interlake region.

My wish for you
Feeling better is within reach. There are treasures you don’t find unless you look for them. We may feel worn down, caught up in waves we can’t control, but like these beautiful pieces of beach glass, we can be transformed in unique and surprising ways. Whether you are looking for pain relief or want to ebb and flow better, I am looking forward to helping you.
Frequently asked questions
-
My services are not covered by health benefits plans at this time, although some providers may cover vibroacoustic sessions through Health Spending Accounts.

Most individual sessions range from $70–$150, depending on length and services provided. Group sessions and workshops pricing vary. I may also offer shorter vibroacoustic or sound relaxation sessions for special events at different pricing.
-
We will have a brief discussion as you settle in to a chair or the massage table. You will then be led through a breathing or meditation exercise. After that, I will use reiki or BodyTalk techniques as guided. You will find the session peaceful. I may ask if I can touch you or complete a muscle test. I may ask you a question or the session will be silent. Every session is different. Afterward we have a short discussion on what came up and how you feel.
-
We will have a brief discussion as you settle in to a chair or the massage table. You will then be led through a breathing or meditation exercise to tune in to your body and current state. After that, I will use nervous system co-regulation and focalizing techniques to check in with you and help you explore and develop new body awareness and coping techniques. These are often baby steps to experiencing the state of peace in your nervous system. You will find the session to be a curious, insightful and sometimes emotional journey. I may offer you homework or guidance on techniques you can repeat at home. Every session is different. Afterward we have a short discussion on what came up and how you feel. This work is cumulative and not completed in one session. After the initial appointment I will require a commitment to minimum number of sessions. Or, you may choose to attend a group skills workshop where we can explore the techniques together.

Once I am sure you are medically safe to receive the treatment, we will have a brief discussion as you settle in to a chair or the massage table. I may guide you through a breathing or meditation exercise to relax and tune in to your body and current state. After that, I will set the VAT equipment to calibrate to the frequency that is best for your specific situation. You will feel pulsing or a massage-like feeling inside your body. This can be subtle or strong and will vary through your time on the table. I may or may not use music with it, depending on what I recommend is best for your needs. Many people fall asleep during their session. This does not affect the treatment. Afterward, I will ask you to describe how you feel and ask you to monitor your symptoms before the next appointment.
