About Innera Wellness

Hi and welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

I’ve been studying body care for as long as I can remember. My journey really began when I was pursuing a degree in psychology and playing Division I soccer. After a series of injuries—and eventually a career-ending one that affected my nerves and connective tissue—I discovered that at the time, there wasn’t really a method for addressing this kind of injury. That experience sent me on a path to learn everything I could about how the body heals, how the mind heals and how we can use our energy body along with body care to heal our thoughts, heal our bodies, and live in a more connected way.

I like to say I’m a bit of a body nerd. Even though I’ve been diagnosed with dyslexia, a linguistic disability, and ADHD, I believe now those differences actually gave me an outside-the-box approach to learning and healing. I was also gifted with an incredible sense of spatial awareness and intuitive knowing this gave me an understanding in how the body works from the inside out.

I’ve been fortunate to study under some remarkable teachers—at the time my teachers were part of a kind of think tank before we knew what structural alignment, fascia or connective tissue was all the energy systems and how our minds could influence the body. These were top bodywork practitioners, physicists, top chiropractors, and movement experts from all over the world. At the time they were traveling the world exploring and pushing the ideas of what PT, OT, and kinesiology or Chiropractic, or acupuncture could move towards. I was also deeply influenced by my time with several Zen masters at the Chozen-ji Temple, where I was taught about the energetics of the body.

Over the years, this led me to study Ayurveda, Qigong, and Tai Chi. And, as a parent I was able to begin to learn about the anthroposophical medical approach that plays out in the different stages of human development as a healing or curative practice. This is all a bit of a mouthful and so one of my greatest joys now is distilling all of this knowledge and sharing it in ways that are easy to follow and easy to apply in everyday life.

I really appreciate you being here today—to get to know your own body’s healing process a little more deeply. The gift of life, I think, is that we get to keep learning how to care for ourselves—and in doing so, care more wisely for the world around us.
