I am a Niasziih (nī-'ə-zē-ī/) certified practitioner, using both an earth and heart-centered approach to spark awareness that shifts long-held patterns of belief and behavior. I ask questions and place my hands on your (fully clothed) body to bring awareness and move energy through. It's always your choice to discover your edges and how you want to move.

In our sessions, we work together to:

• track internal landscapes: Using guided meditation and reflective inquiry - asking questions like "What is happening here?" or "What does this mean?" - we map and explore your inner worlds.

• discover potential: We collaborate to uncover your deeply rooted purpose, creating intentional movement toward peace, love, joy, and a more fulfilling daily life.

• create shifts: By expanding your awareness of the infinite choices available in any given moment, we invite new perspectives to act as a powerful catalyst for your well-being.

Please note: Every person’s path to wellness is unique. Experiences and results of these sessions vary from person to person, and no specific outcomes are guaranteed.

Experience: My preparation includes a unique blend of interconnected skills, bringing years of training into practice. Built on deep awareness and perception developed through the study of survival, tracking, and healing at the Tracker School under Tom Brown, Jr. and his teachers, my approach weaves the lessons of this lineage directly into our container to support your growth and well-being. These teachings work in harmony with my certifications as a Hypnotist and a Tellington TTouch® Practitioner to form the foundation of my expertise.

I hold a Ph.D. in Education and an MA in Anthropology from UT Austin, which are academic, non-medical degrees.

We move entirely at your pace, with your explicit consent.

Journey & Roots: My path has been one of deep exploration—spiraling inward and flowing outward. I’ve studied the indigenous ways of the Huichol, Mazatec, Nahuatl, and various Mayan-speaking peoples. As a young woman living in Central America, I tried my hand at weaving with a backstrap loom and pottery, learning firsthand the wisdom embedded in these ancestral crafts.

This exploration led me to my earlier career as an archaeologist in Texas and New Mexico. Discovering a Great Kiva in the New Mexico wilderness—a powerful, sacred place—profoundly changed me and solidified my reverence for the Earth and the presence of the past.

Now settled in the Texas Hill Country (a landscape reminiscent of my early life in upstate New York), I draw on all these experiences—from crawling through caves as a caver in Austin to surveying ancient pueblo sites—to inform my practice.

Heartfelt Touch has been my practice name since 2012.
