Looking back, I can see now that I’ve always been an empath and intuitive—deeply feeling, sensing, and aware of energy around me. But it wasn’t something I fully understood at first.

In my 20s, I began exploring what I was experiencing more intentionally. I was drawn to yoga, meditation, and mediumship, trying to make sense of what felt natural to me while also questioning it. At the time, I was raising my children and wanted to be sure I was grounded in reality—I needed to understand what was happening, not fear it.

In my 30s, that curiosity turned into deeper study. I learned how to work with my intuition in a more focused and grounded way.

Around the same time, my life shifted in a way I never expected. I became very sick.

After countless doctor visits, hospital stays, and no clear answers, I was finally diagnosed with Chronic Lyme disease and told I would likely spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. My days became filled with PICC lines, visiting nurses, and heavy medications—but despite all of it, I wasn’t getting better.

Then someone (there are no coincidences) overheard me on the phone with a doctor at my daughter's gymnastic class, and they suggested something different: acupuncture, cupping, and Reiki.

That moment changed everything.

Through energy healing, my body began to respond in ways that traditional treatments hadn’t allowed. But more than that, something deeper shifted. I didn’t just begin to heal physically—I reconnected with myself in a completely new way.

That experience led me fully onto the path I’m on today.

With a background in education and a degree in teaching, I’ve always believed that a true teacher is also always a student. So, I started to study what Reiki was and explore why it worked for me. I am now a Reiki Master Teacher, and my work is rooted in connection—connection to self, to others, and to something greater.

I feel especially called to support those navigating deep healing, including autoimmune diseases, oncology and palliative care, where presence, compassion, and gentle support matter most.

My work is guided by a deep spiritual connection—shaped through over two decades of experience and my connection to the angelic realm and the Divine.

At the heart of everything I do is HOPE.

Not just wishful thinking—but a steady, grounded belief that healing is possible, even when it doesn’t look the way we expect.
That you can reconnect with yourself.
That you are not alone in what you’re carrying.

And that everything you need is already within you—sometimes, you just need the space and support to remember.

This is what fills Hope Happens Healing.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to work with you.

I believe that healing is not about fixing what is broken — it is about remembering what has always been whole. My work is guided by the understanding that every person carries innate wisdom within them, and that true healing happens when we create the space to listen to it.

Each session at Hope Happens Healing is held with deep reverence. I draw on intuitive gifts, my training in energy modalities, and my love for the people I serve. From chronic pain to emotional grief, from anxiety to spiritual disconnection — I have witnessed the quiet miracles that unfold when energy is allowed to flow freely again.

The studio in Colts Neck is a sanctuary — a place where you are invited to soften, to breathe, and to trust the unfolding. You are welcome here, exactly as you are.
