Movement and music were my first loves. Apparently I walked at 6 months old and started my record collection at age 3. Movement became a serious figure skating practice beginning at the early age of 4 and eventually leading to a degree in Modern Dance/Choreography then to Pilates (4th generation instructor) + Personal Training Certifications. I’ve been teaching and training for 20 years and the work continues to evolve.

Music is my constant star. I collected music, have seen a lot of bands (Prince 17 times!) played the clarinet, sang in choirs, learned guitar and started my own band 4 different times. Currently I make music as ethericashadowsound, front my band, retroshade and am also a Sound Healer.

The bridge from fitness to healing began post dark night of the soul. Like a lot of these stories begin, chronic illness showed itself and I disintegrated. There really are no words for the severity of this experience but I can tell you this: I am still here, healthier, wiser and more aware than ever and I’m ready to help.

The gift from the struggle was finally answering the call of Reiki + Sound Healing. This energy medicine has been comforting, transformative + a great awakener of my intuitive gifts + personal power. It is an honor to be within a lineage of Reiki Masters and Keepers of Frequency.

I am now devoted to living my most authentic life and to be of service as teacher, trainer, healer, way shower, keeper of frequency with the intention of love, truth and illumination.
