MY STORY
When I was young, I felt like an adult trapped in a child’s body.
My life seemed entirely mistimed. I spent decades in suicide ideation wanting to break up with time. Escape it.
The other kids in my neighborhood were not my age, and I preferred the previous generation's music. My parents put strict boundaries on my time. My choir instructor and swimming coaches shamed me. The fear of imperfection left me feeling as if time was never on my side.
It's no wonder that I devoted years to understanding the vagus nerve—a vital link from the brainstem to the pelvis that influences our relationship with time and timing.
I liken the vagus nerve to the pendulum of our somatic clock. Stress and trauma diminish its function. Gratitude and pleasure enhance it.
Research shows that optimal vagus nerve function leads to improved well-being and performance across all aspects of life—it's a transformation I've experienced firsthand.
Through my journey, blending evidence-based physical therapy with intuitive insights, patients dubbed me the "body whisperer."
I delved into this calling, initially hesitant but drawn by the profound healing it offered both them and me. My work isn't just about fixing bodies—it's about aligning time inside and outside for holistic transformation.
Your nervous system will not let you live a dull story - but you have the power to turn the page and shift your timeline.
Whether it's physical pain or business hurdles, addressing how time is moving through the body transforms the narratives of scarcity or stress to unleash your full potential. This approach not only heals but empowers, unlocking new levels of influence and impact.
For 25 years, I've been a catalyst for high-performing individuals, guiding them toward healing their relationship with time - for greater confidence, stepping into the spotlight and owning their greatness.
From speaking engagements to personal consultations, I'm here to help you transform and thrive.
Patients said that I’d go into a trance whilst I was treating them...
I simply thought I was using good clinical reasoning.
Going into my logic circuits, I was synthesizing what I knew from my textbooks and experience and combining it with what their body was showing me.
I argued with the power and potential of this work for years.
It was big energy, and I both deeply desired and defiantly refused stepping fully into it.
But getting people better—especially those no one else could figure out—kept me seeking what else was true.
The truth is, helping others also helps me. I receive a piece of every dose of healing I give. I now see I’m on this earth to blaze new trails and break new ground so I can help others heal their relationship with time...

... and start having the time of their lives!
My magic is a fusion of evidence-based physical therapy, spirit-led intuition and understanding of the vagus nerve.
