My passion for SMGI® stems from its transformative impact on my own life journey. From a state of selective mutism with full symptoms of PTSD, I transitioned into an artist, poet, to group organizer, and then public speaker. Today, as an SMGI® practitioner, I am committed to guiding others through life-changing transformations.

Witnessing my clients find relief, whether from stress, physical discomfort, emotional turmoil, or buried traumas, fills me with profound satisfaction. I find it so rewarding to see them recognize their innate power and capacity to tap into their inner wisdom for optimal outcomes.

I found SMGI® when I sought relief from PTSD nightmares that disrupted my daily existence, leaving me in a constant state of stress and vulnerability. Through SMGI®, the nightmares lost their power, allowing me to regain functionality. It instilled positive emotions within me, which in turn regulated my nervous system and cultivated a sense of safety in my body and life enabling me to pursue my aspiration of aiding others in their healing journey.

With over a decade of dedicated service in mental health and trauma advocacy, I've honed my skills in fostering healing through various modalities. My experience organizing writing and arts and crafts groups has revealed the profound healing potential beyond traditional talk therapy or words alone.

As a former Certified Nursing Assistant, I witnessed firsthand the resilience of the human spirit and the profound impact of kindness and compassion, especially in moments of great adversity.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I am an accomplished artist and poet, showcasing my work in galleries across Minneapolis, Seattle, San Francisco, and Modesto. Presently, I am passionately engaged in crafting my memoir, a testament to my journey of self-discovery and resilience.

Each of my past experiences has contributed to the revelation of my inner strength, courage, compassion, and authenticity. Guiding others towards their desired transformations and liberation brings me immense fulfillment and purpose.
