What’s in a title? Training and experience both shape a person. Often, though, even more important is how these things are expressed in an individual you put your trust in. I hope that everything I have learned and experienced will help me have the tools to craft an experience for you that helps you on your path of life, and will help you feel good as you traverse it.
The Training & Experience that shapes what I offer to you
Clinical Hypnotherapy: I learned Clinical Hypnotherapy from Maude Schellhous at the California School of Hypnotherapy in Sacramento, California. I have also studied Conversational Hypnotherapy and Beyond Quantum Healing, both of which are skills I include as a part of my hypnotherapy toolbox. I have studied with hypnotherapy instructors from the USA, Australia, and the UK. I am continuously surprised and inspired by the many facets of our lives that hypnotherapy can touch – physical, mental, emotional, and even the deepest spiritual aspects of ourselves. Hypnotherapy is the base of what I offer at BodyLight, the service that I believe has the most potential to bring you relief, change, healing, and becoming. It is a deep but subtle practice, helping your own inner potential stand up and be supported, transformed, strengthened, and emboldened to make the changes that best support your feeling of ease and comfort as you walk through your daily life.

Massage Therapy: Most of my massage training was at the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley, California. Though the school no longer exists, the teachings of the wonderful, insightful teachers are still with me. The basis of the education was in acupressure; Using very light finger pressure along the meridians used in Chinese medicine to open up energy channels, remove blockages, free the body and the mind. There was always a layer, and some dedicated classes, that honored intuition and ways to work with the body’s more subtle energies. The mind-body-spirit-life connection was discussed and experienced through each course. I have also studied elsewhere, such as at the Massage Therapy Institute in Davis, California and at the International Training Massage School for Thai Massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand. All of the massage therapy I offer can be adjusted to what your body and mind need on the day I see you for an appointment. I have additional training in Oncology Massage, which helps a massage therapist to adapt massage skills they already have to be used with persons in any stage of cancer care, in hospice, or post cancer recovery and on into survivorship.
Currently I only offer massage therapy during BodyLight’s in-person retreats, Insight Discovery Tours.

Nursing: My Registered Nursing (RN) education and my Masters of Science in Nursing, with my Nurse Practitioner training was all done at UCSF. I worked as a hospital, bedside nurse in pediatrics for several years, working with newborns, post surgery patients, patients with a variety of medical illnesses, and kids and young adults with cancer and blood disorders. As a Nurse Practitioner, I have worked mostly with kids, teens, and young adults who have cancer or blood disorders, as well as long term cancer survivors. Later, I worked as an Oncology Nurse with adults who have cancer. I left Nursing in June 2024 to dedicate myself to serving people through my business, BodyLight LLC. I do not apply any nursing practice within my work at BodyLight. Rather, my nursing experience adds to my comfort level working with a wide range of people, has helped hone my listening skills, and gives me an appreciation for the body-mind-emotion-spirit continuum from a medical perspective.
Additional training: Other related training includes yoga, yoga nidra, chi gung, and tai chi. I do not directly offer these as services, but the knowledge of these is within me as I give you the best of what I do offer.
