Our Bodies Have Wisdom

While I offer a range of tools and practices—The Signature of the Heart is the foundation of my work and is present in every session, regardless of the modality used. It is an approach grounded in presence, deep listening, and attunement to the body’s subtle signals.

Fostering the Body’s Innate Intelligence

Rather than focusing on techniques alone, this work creates a safe, coherent field in which the nervous system can settle and the body’s innate healing intelligence can emerge. The tools I use—acupuncture, Dolphin Neurostim™, nutrition, BodyIntuitive, and integrative guidance—support this process, but they do not define it.

Supporting Your Inner Healer

Healing unfolds when the body, heart, and nervous system feel safe enough to reorganize naturally. My role is not to direct or fix, but to help create the conditions in which your own inner healer can come forward.

Complementary Care

The Signature of the Heart can stand alone or enhance other therapies—acupuncture, counseling, or medical treatments—creating coherence across mind, body, and heart.

I specialize in using the Dolphin Neurostim™ as a modern form of acupuncture — without needles. This handheld device allows me to stimulate acupuncture points and meridians with a precise, gentle microcurrent, while also giving me greater range to work directly with scars, pain, and areas of restriction in the body.

A Gateway to Calm:
The Dolphin’s primary frequency mirrors the natural rhythm our cells use to communicate. When applied, it sends a signal of safety to the entire system. Many clients naturally drift into deep relaxation as their nervous system shifts from stress into restoration. This is especially soothing for the vagus nerve, which supports relaxation, digestion, and healing.

Precision That Honors the Body:
By working with the body’s own language — the frequency of healthy cellular repair — this therapy supports your innate wisdom without force. It reminds the body of its natural state of balance and vitality. It can also help clear scar adhesions, release tension, and ease pain.

Support for Neurological Health:
With advanced training in concussion and brain injury care, I use the Dolphin Neurostim™ to support clients with TBIs, head injuries, and other neurological challenges. The gentle frequency calms inflammation and activates the brain’s natural healing processes, in a way that is both non-invasive and deeply effective.

Clients often describe the sensation as a warm, soothing pulsation that invites the body into a profound state of healing rest.

Chinese herbal medicine is a cornerstone of my work. It’s more than simply “taking herbs” — each formula is carefully tailored from roots, barks, flowers, and minerals to help guide your body back to its natural balance.

Personalized Formulas:
I begin with a detailed Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis, such as identifying Qi deficiency or Liver Fire. From there, I design a formula that addresses the root cause of imbalance rather than just easing symptoms. Herbs are prescribed in accessible forms such as powders, pills, or tinctures. Raw herbs are available if preferred, though I rarely use them.

Why I Cherish This Practice:
Herbal medicine is a holistic and elegant system. I select herbs not only for their therapeutic actions but also for their energetic qualities — warming or cooling, nourishing or dispersing — and their specific connection to TCM organ systems. It feels like composing a symphony of botanicals to create harmony unique to you.

Continuous Support:
Herbal formulas work gently yet consistently, supporting healing every hour of the day between sessions. Each prescription draws on a wisdom refined over thousands of years, offering both comfort and profound effectiveness.

Functional Nutrition is a science-based, patient-centered approach that views food as a tool to optimize how the body functions. Rather than simply treating symptoms with diet, it looks at the root causes of imbalance — such as inflammation, gut health, hormonal shifts, or micronutrient deficiencies.

Biochemical Individuality:
Every person’s body is unique. Functional Nutrition goes beyond “one-size-fits-all” advice and creates highly personalized plans informed by your individual biochemistry, often guided by lab testing.

Systems-Biology Approach:
This modality views the body as an interconnected network — digestive, endocrine, immune, and beyond. By working across systems, it uses food, nutrients, and lifestyle choices to restore function and harmony.

Root Cause Focus:
The goal is always to ask why. Why is there fatigue? Why is there bloating? Why is the body out of balance? Each recommendation is designed to answer those questions and support long-term health.

Coaching begins with a fundamental truth: you are the expert of your own life. You know your strengths, you’ve faced your obstacles, and within you lies the wisdom and resilience to heal and grow.

A Collaborative Partnership:
My role is not to direct you, but to walk alongside you. I ask powerful questions that help you access your own knowledge. In BodyIntuitive sessions, I may also use neuromuscular feedback to receive insights directly from your body’s wisdom.

Strength-Based Approach:
This work is always collaborative and grounded in your lived experience. Whether we are using acupuncture and herbs, focusing on Functional Nutrition, or working with BodyIntuitive, the process remains yours. We draw on your inner resources and your body’s intelligence to guide deep, lasting healing.
