About Me

For more than twelve years, I have studied, practiced, and refined holistic healing modalities — each one meaningful, each one a layer of my evolution.

Over time, what once existed as separate certifications quietly integrated into one cohesive pathway.

Sacred Surrender with Infinity Flow is the natural culmination of that work.

The Sacred Surrender pathway is built upon a strong professional foundation that includes:

• Reiki Master Teacher
• Ancient Black Pearl Technique
• Aromatherapist & Herbalist
• Meditation & Mindfulness Guide
• Holistic Empowerment Coaching
• Flower Therapy Healing
• Forest Therapy Coaching (50 hours)
• Intuitive Card Reading
• Writer & Author

These certifications aren’t just isolated services any longer. I have thoughtfully integrated them within Sacred Surrender to create a grounded, contained, and deeply personal experience for women navigating midlife transition.

Leadership and Recognition

My work has also extended into education, authorship, and professional recognition, including:

• Creator and facilitator of a Mindfulness Program for students (Grades 5–8)
• Instructor for Girl Power: Energy Healing, Chakra Awareness & Self-Esteem
• Featured in Women of Distinction Magazine (2015)
• Continental Who’s Who (2014)
• VIP Woman of the Year Circle (2014)
• National Association of Professional Women
• Contributing author in best-selling publications:
– Soul-Hearted Living by Debra Reble (2019)
– 365 Soulful Messages by Jodi Chapman & Dan Teck (2019)

These experiences reflect my long-standing commitment to empowerment, education, and holistic development.

Resilience is a word I have come to respect and honor.

Nothing is more powerful than a woman who has risen from the ashes with fire in her veins. As a woman who has walked the path of pain, I understand the time and strength it takes to heal and grow.

At 29, I became a single mother after my marriage ended — a deeply painful transition that forced me to rediscover my strength. I was determined to show my daughters what independence and courage looked like, even when it felt impossible.

Later, at 42, life opened another doorway. With my children older, I turned inward — toward personal growth, holistic health, and connection with nature. What began as exploration became devotion.

The Willow Connection was born from that devotion — and named in honor of my beloved cat, Willow, whose passing opened my heart to Reiki and intuitive healing.

I pursued certification not just to gather knowledge, but to deepen my ability to hold space.

Because I am not separate from the women I serve:

I have felt inwardly conflicted.
I have carried more than anyone saw.
I have given until I was empty.

Sacred Surrender was born from learning how to root myself instead of bracing against life.

Today, I guide high-functioning midlife women through Sacred Surrender with Infinity Flow — a grounded integration experience designed to help you integrate, circulate, and anchor healing into your next chapter.

If you are ready to do the inner work gently, steadily, and with support — I would be honored to walk alongside you.
