“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly,
but rarely admit the changes it has gone through
​to achieve that beauty.” -
 Maya Angelou

My moto is, "Do all things with great love in your heart, for the benefit of others."  I, like you, have faced adversity, most recently with the death of several important family members. These unexpected tragedies have made me stronger in my faith and commitment to help others live a life of peace, joy, love, abundance, and happiness that God intends for us.  I find courage in Friedrich Nietzsche's famous words, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger".  Life is not always easy, the struggle is real.  However, if we can change the way we think about struggle and failure, we can see these struggles as opportunities for growth, development, and greater intelligence.
 
I did my undergraduate work at Arizona State University where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and a Bachelor of Science in Marketing (2000).  In 2001, I was invited to attend Harvard University’s Administrative Fellowship Program.  I attended graduate courses at Harvard's School of Education and earned a Master’s in Intercultural Relations with an emphasis on Multi-Cultural Education from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts (2008).  I worked at Harvard's School of Public Health and Office of the President & Provost from 2001-2009.  
 
I began to study and use hypnosis in 2004 while preparing for the birth of my first son 17 years ago.  I used HypnoBirthing to experience calm, gentle, and un-medicated, natural births with four of my children.  I officially trained in hypnosis with Sherry Gilbert, PhD and completed a HypnoBirthing certification in 2011.  Through out the years, I have had the honor of also training with Marie "Mickey Mongan", the founder of the HypnoBirthing Institute, may she rest in peace.  
 
In 2018, I trained with James "Eddie" Womack, to broaden my understanding of the power of hypnosis.  In 2019, I became a Board Certified Hypnotist and also certified as a Stress Management Consultant under the direction of Michael Watson, of the International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT).  I am currently attending the Advanced Professional Clinical Hypnotherapy program the Southwest Institute of Healing (SWIHA).  There, I have been blessed to study under the direction of Linda Bennett, PhD, Sherry Gilbert, PhD, Elmas Vincent, and Sharon Rose.  I will complete 310 hours of advanced studies in September 2021.  I have learned so much in this program including: Life Coaching; Medical Hypnosis; Fears, Phobias, and Addictions; as well as NLP techniques.
 
 I hold three professional hypnosis certifications with the: HypnoBirthing Institute (HBI, 2018), National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH, 2019), and International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT, 2019).  I will also complete a fourth certification with the International Medical Dental Hypnotherapist Association (IMDHA, 2021).   
 
Over the past two decades, I have developed a deep understanding of the powers of the mind, body, spirit connection.  I have heard it said, “If the mind is diseased, the body will follow.”  The wonderful thing is that the mind (and one’s thinking) can be switched from a negative mindset to a positive mindset through hypnosis, which has incredible power for positive change.
 
As a Board-Certified Hypnotist, I help people address a broad range of common challenges such as weight loss, fears, phobias, and anxieties to help clients regain a sense of self-control, confidence, and ultimately a sense of hope in understanding their own internal healing power.  My goal is to help people alleviate stressors and eliminate bad habits that are holding them back from achieving their potential to live happy, healthy, prosperous lives.   I am most interested in working with busy moms, like me, who suffer from anxiety, depression, fear and a crushing weight of responsibility.   I want everyone to know that no matter how difficult the situation may be, there is ALWAYS HOPE!
