I grew up surrounded by music, education, and service. My path to pursue teaching through music solidified when I first realized that music heals that which cannot be touched.
Music has been my constant companion: voice (the God-given instrument), piano, mountain dulcimer, French horn, choir, and recently guitar. I earned my degree in Elementary Music Education with piano as my principal instrument, complemented by vocal studies and a Spanish minor.
In my professional life, I’ve explored and blended multiple teaching approaches and completed certification in the Kodály and Orff-Schulwerk approaches. My passion is developing musicianship through active, joyful music-making.
What I never expected was where music would lead me: into the world of plant medicine facilitation. Through my own spiritual journey, I’ve witnessed music’s power to open the heart, release energy, and bring deep healing — both in the classroom and in ceremonial spaces.
Wherever I am — teaching children, mentoring educators, partnering as a pianist, or holding sacred space — my prayer is the same: to share music’s gift with all people, whenever and wherever that may be.
