About
My nature is very caring and I have developed a strong intuition about my clients and their bodies process. My diverse training and my devotion to the healing potential of the human body are evident in my 30-year practice in the healing arts. I think my notability came from my body paintings. These mesmerizing images were created to represent what I see when I work with people. I started studying energy in 1989. Being an energy worker you will sense that my hands become very hot and the results of my sessions are often more pronounced and clearly noticeable. Staroakland.com
My favorite part is meeting people with that I can share my knowledge with and seeing the result of my client's growth and progress over the years. There is always great satisfaction in aiding others in their ultimate well-being!
I have spent 30 years in the health and wellness world. I Am trained in many healing modalities. And have personally experienced everything from Tesla frequency to Physhic surgery, and shamanic ceremonies, I am an apothecary curator and plant medicine mother.
My work is definable as "heart-based."This is a real healing experience. I am not a deep tissue therapist any longer, I am a whole body whole being therapist with somatic training. My work is best at 90 mins, it's best that you rest or sleep following a session. After three sessions you will begin to see many different and positive changes in your energy and well being.

How did you get started in this business?
I myself like most healers found my way here through self-healing. I was very sick as a child and the damage from chemical poisoning took most of my life to recover from. I started working in LA in a beautiful "body shop" In Westwood in 1996 and soon found myself working with celebrities in addiction recovery.
Always an artist, this love of the human body and my ability to see the energy systems and their frequencies of them, HERE... This is where my unlikely career as a world-recognized Body Painter and Image healer began.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I spent the first 5 years working on those in recovery.
the next 15 years I worked most often with women in my bodywork and and my body art.
I often worked with children and pets as well.
I spent 3 years then choosing to work with men as I felt I had much to learn.
I spent 7 years exclusively working with Cancer patients. And another 11 years assisting a woman with cancer.
I now have a very balanced practice of men and women, of people of all ages with many different conditions.
I also attract those who have a deep understanding of their own selves, of their body, as well as an intuitive sense of energy and how it affects the human body.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I gave a rock star a massage in a steakhouse bathroom in LA because she was detoxing from prescription pills and had a severe migraine. I worked it out and she went back to her Fleet Wood Mac meeting...I traveled with a different rock star as his therapist and watched him sing with Bonnie Rate and Jody Mitchell, I lived as an on-site therapist for a huge punk rock star and his wife. I am fond of this because I learned how to work quite successfully with addiction and early childhood trauma. I recently worked on local women that I assumed were 33/34 years old, I have seen and worked on thousands of bodies. This woman had bouncy skin, strong muscle tone, and vibrance of youth as well as the face of an innocent child. I soon learned she was my age. in her mid 50's.
It is not that she was so ageless that made the moment to be "fond of," it was how recognized how many amazing and absolutely fascinating human bodies I have been blessed to witness. This is surely an important part of understanding the human body in all its diversity.
There are so many stories attached to my images and my work in the world. I must say I am fond of them all.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
I feel its always best to trust your intuition and to have a conversation with your practitioner to assure this is the best person for you.
And maybe not ask for deep tissue all the time. It is really relaxation you are requiring. Deep tissue seems to be best left to sports and medical or tribal therapists like the MAORI healers who are trained to spot and release trapped pain in structural and muscle memeory with an aggressive often painful technique.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
The questions MOST concerning and most important for each client are, of course, the most important questions to ask. In my experience bodywork is not best in an institutional routine way. It is best to work WITH the client and their needs individually.
Bodywork is like ART. Everyone likes something different, we are all drawn to something that speaks to us directly, stirs us, and inspires us.
except that: bodywork is not subjective.
If you don't feel it, it's not working.
I do hope to support and co-create your best self.
