She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing from The College of St. Catherine and has experience working in Medical-Surgical/Oncology and Plastic Surgery. She is certified by The Center for Mind-Body Medicine to facilitate Mind-Body Skills Groups to help accelerate the healing process from psychological trauma and stress.
