About

As a little girl I had the dream of someday being someone who helped people.   After marrying young and spending several years performing clerical duties in an office I could not see how to  come close to that childhood dream.  As life unfolded in my mid- twenties, I was introduced to the profession of occupational therapy and practiced that profession for over 10 years.  After working with people with severe disabilities I became interested in wellness and holistic practices.  Eventually this evolved into studying massage and bodywork, myofascial release as well as numerous other bodywork modalities, and various forms of energy healing.  As my profession and experiences evolved,  I worked in the healing arts as a registered occupational therapist, massage therapist and bodyworker, healer, mentor, teacher, and workshop and retreat facilitator since 1981 to the present.   My clients also  benefit from sound healing and guided meditation and imagery.

This brief story and journey has led me to a place where I can provide a nurturing and unique environment for my clients where healing and change can occur, weaving together body, mind and spirit.  Supporting this work is a strong clinical background that I built as an occupational therapist working with complex conditions.

In addition to providing therapy and healing sessions I teach manual therapies to professional therapists with a body-mind-spirit approach. I have been able to combine my academic background and years of clinical experience as an occupational therapist with my experience, love and exploration of the healing arts to bring a personal, caring and knowledgeable approach to helping people who are physically and /or emotionally injured, hurting and depleted.

I am a member of the American Massage Therapy Association and I am certified by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy and the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork as well as being an NCTMB continuing education provider through Wellness Workers Holistic Health, LLC.

My private practice of Creative Wellness is in Cape May Court House, NJ.  I am the happy and grateful wife of my dear husband David, and servant of our most excellent cat Ginger.
