Dear Cohesive Family Welcome aboard, set your sails to align into the direction of your dreams and TRUST THE PROCESS!

I never thought I would be here today typing on my wellness center website while juggling my 5-year-old toddler and hiring employees and being totally in love with the process of my work, bringing light into the eyes of our clients, giving them their first ah ha! IT was important to me that the detox methods I offered not only made sense, but where things we could actually implement easily daily within the structures of our life not just around them.

Because whoever “gets around” to self-care, you got to get into it and to get into its self-care needs to be part of the fabric of your life and our family’s sphere of functional lifestyle. Where the balancing act is no longer just an act when it becomes an experience, we can honestly enjoy.

Profound and Pivotal Influences of My Life

My Beloved Mommy Elaine Influenced me in profound ways introducing me to bodywork and the use of essential oils, crystal and energy work at a very young age. She regularly practiced bodywork on all her children from the day we were born.

Her wise wisdom raised us through Rudolf Steiner schooling where alternative forms of learning are readily studied, painting drawing and dance an impeccable part of school from day one of kindergarten. Our home was a large lot of farmlands overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Our play friends are animals, the nature is still my home place no matter where I go.
