Hi! I’m the founder of Human Soundcheck, my own method of energy healing combining sound therapy, Jin shin Jyutsu, and breath work (along with some other awesome stuff mixed in).
Coming from a musical background, I earned my BA in Music (Vocal Performance) from Kent State University in 2001. Throughout the years, I taught music, performed in various ensembles, and never stopped creating. Always a very spiritual person, a family tragedy in 2016 put me into hyper-drive on my own spiritual journey.
At that time, I was working very hard to build my business in the entertainment industry. I found myself doing work that depleted me, obsessed with the seemingly unattainable feat of perfection. I was burned out, frazzled, popping migraines left & right, and just not who I really was deep down. Then when tragedy struck, that was it— the thing that brought me to really go within and seek healing.
Going within and turning to meditation and self-care, I discovered a whole new musical realm as a creative outlet, which was meditation music. It was through this creative process of composing meditation music, that I uncovered the many other methods and tools of sound healing, including tuning forks.
The more research I did, the more I uncovered new ways of integrating the forks in a way that was transformative. Using my music knowledge, expanding on it through research and various coursework in sound healing, I designed a method that expanded beyond the voice and tuning forks, but deeper into the subtle energetic realm utilizing the powerful energy of the breath itself, crystals, essential oils, and adding the power of Reiki (I am a Reiki Master Practitioner). However, these days, I utilize Jin Shin Jyutsu more for the hands-on healing aspect of my work as far as Human Soundcheck. Since bringing Jin Shin into my practice, it has deepened the healing work so much.
I am forever researching the human energetic field and the energetic systems within the human body, wherein I also do much of the work in any given session: the Chakra system, the meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the auric field, etc.
In late 2021, I embarked on a wonderful educational journey and became a Certified Energy Codes® Coach. Based on the principles and practices of Dr. Sue Morter’s book The Energy Codes: The 7-Step System to Awaken Your Spirit, Heal Your Body, and Live Your Best Life. This is literally the code that I live by. Ever since cracking open that book in 2019, my whole life perspective changed. This coaching program is beyond enlightening, and it is a gift each day to help others step into their wholeness.
In 2022, I went even deeper into the wonderful world of Bio-Energetics, and became a certified B.E.S.T. Practitioner! Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique has changed me forever as a practitioner, and the work is powerful stuff! I’m so grateful to Dr. M.T. Morter for doing the deep dive all those decades ago to bring forth such a dynamic and intricate healing technique.
I have been helping people with nutrition and dietary supplementation since 2016 at Bourne Chiropractic under the purview of Dr. Andrew Bourne, D.C. In 2023, I decided to make my nutritional counseling more official. I am a Certified Clinical Master Herbalist CCMH and also a Certified Nutritionist Consultant CNC through NHI College of Naturopathy.
Bottom line, I am here to help people! It is my purpose and motivation in life. I stop and pinch myself fairly often because I’m so grateful and excited to do the work of helping mankind in my own small way. It’s not work, it’s a gift that I love so very much. Outside of doing what I love (Human Soundcheck sessions, B.E.S.T. and Energy Codes® with my clients), you can find me helping people in another capacity at Bourne Chiropractic a few hours a week. I am a nature-lover and hobbyist beekeeper. I am also into making herbal tinctures & teas, jewelry making, and cooking & creating gluten and dairy-free meals. I love my husband & dear pets, and am certain to find humor in everyday life!
