I grew up on the beaches of New Zealand, where the cure for everything was bare feet and fresh air. I now live in Maine, with Acadia National Park outside my door, and enjoy fresh air all year round. I still enjoy bare feet, mostly in the summer, but in winter too!

Over the last 30 years, I have received bodywork in many different formats. Relaxation & Deep Tissue massage, Mayan Abdominal massage with energy healing, Chiropractic work, Hot stone massage, and Reflexology. I have always believed that bodywork was more than just feeling good.

Did you know that our bodies hold on to pain and emotions that can be accessed through healing touch? Reflexology fully allows us to do that, accessing internal body systems as we are physically touching the feet. Our feet absorb much more impact than we realize and are often neglected in our busy lives, yet we rely on them for so much.

I began receiving Reflexology in my late 30s when issues with peri-menopause made it difficult for me to enjoy full-body massage. I continued into my early 40s through a very stressful time while caregiving for a family member with stage 4 / terminal cancer. I have benefitted physically and emotionally from Foot Reflexology and continue to benefit today. Last winter I herniated a disk after slipping on black ice, and I started right away working the reflex areas of my lower back to ease pain and stress.

My wonderful practitioner moved away, and in my search for a new reflexologist, I found a school in central Maine and decided to train as a reflexologist. Wow!! This was a twist of fate that I never would have expected, and which I am thrilled about. I am now the sole “reflexology only” practitioner on Mount Desert Island with a physical location.

I am now in my early 50s. This is a milestone place of change that hopefully includes some wisdom learned from my varied practical life experiences.  I have always wanted to touch people, inside and out with my thoughtfulness and compassion, and I now have a new way to continue doing that.

I firmly believe in following my heart and intuition for my health needs. I use orthodox, alternative, and complementary methods. There are many pieces we each can use to complete our own personal wellness puzzles.

I offer an understanding of life challenges, & a deep desire to help create space in your life.

I look forward to meeting you and your feet
