Cura Natural Medicine & Wellness Coaching
About
I first started working with clients as a massage therapist in 1997, and went on to earn my doctorate in naturopathic medicine in 2011. I love to help others find unique and effective ways to increase their feelings of well-being and improve physical health, brain health, sleep, energy, mood, digestion, motivation and more. Patients and clients will receive customized, personalized treatment plans that are most appropriate for them and their specific circumstances. Offerings will be varied and best matched to your lifestyle.
I love helping people to make profound changes in their life and health habits that lead them to feeling empowered, energized and armed with applicable knowledge. I want people to feel they understand what is needed to really feel better, stay healthy, and know that they have what it takes to feel good and make changes. I enjoy being a guide for people who are ready to embark on a healing journey. I love to teach and help folks really feel good in their body and learn to trust their body's messages.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Most typically, i have people fill out the intake form either printed at home from my website, or when they arrive if it's an in-person visit. Often I will talk with people for a few minutes on the phone first before they get here to see if it's a good match.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Completed massage therapy training at East West College of the healing arts, completed 1997
Completed doctorate in naturopathic medicine at national college of natural medicine, completed in 2011.
My trainings also include a significant amount of travel to other countries, learning their ways of doing things. My work is influenced by not only many incredible teachers in this country, but also in Thailand, Guatemala, Peru, Belize, Mexico, and Fiji
Energy work practices are also a very significant part of what I do. Primarily I work with a form of energy were called reconnect of healing, as well as cranial sacral therapy, though have also trained in Reiki, polarity therapy, healing touch, and a few others over the years. Reconnective healing is very powerful and once I started doing that, the others were not quite as a resonant, but they all inform my work.
Sound therapy is also a big part of my practice, and training has been ongoing.
rebirthing breathwork is another option and this is a very powerful process.
I also have significant knowledge of essential oils and herbs and plant medicines, and have offerings around those things as well.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Yes, these are available on my website. There are too many options to list here.
How did you get started in this business?
I've been in the healing arts field since 1996, when I started massage therapy school. It evolved from there into getting my doctorate in naturopathic medicine. Since I graduated in 2011, I have participated in many ongoing continuing education courses to learn as much as possible about various healing modalities in this country as well as around the world.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with many many many different types of customers. I tend to work best with people who are very interested in genuinely healing and learning more about their body, people who want to take an active approach to their healthcare and understand that in order to feel better, changes are sometimes necessary. They are not always easy, but with the right support, they are very available. I have worked with many many many different types of customers.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently had a patient here for a massage therapy/sound therapy session. He not only reported feeling dramatically more relaxed and also energized, but also had a lot of very interesting "insights" while he was on the table receiving the work, which led him to start writing a book that he is very excited about. This sort of thing does tend to happen on a somewhat regular basis!!
