A bit About me…

I am an energy healer and a life coach specializing in mindset and manifestation. I am equal parts science and woo.

My background: I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling. I spent 30+ years in the corporate wellness world helping people make changes to improve their life and health. I stepped away from my corporate gig in 2015. I still consult with a few companies but the corporate world is NOT for me! I hate suits and cubicles and gray carpet, and acting professional. I like Birkenstocks and cozy linen pants and big bold floral wallpaper and cussing.

I founded City Cricket Wellness in 2020 so I can do things my own way. Most of my clients come to me because they feel stuck, like they have a block of some sort. That’s my jam! I help people get clear on what they want, and then I help them create it.

In 2021 I was called to pranic healing energy work - a no-touch modality to help clear energetic blockages so you feel better - physically and emotionally. It is phenomenally effective! I could tell you wild stories all day long about my clients positive outcomes that would make your eyes bulge out of your head. You can read a few of them on my pranic healing page.

I like science and all the woo-woo stuff too. If it works, it works.

I talk about things like spirit guides and chakras and your subconscious, parts work, past lives, ,reprogramming your neuropathways, meditation, and sound healing. I pull from lots of different traditions and sciences and spirituality. If it’s practical and works, I’m game!

I’m endlessly fascinated by humans and why they do what they do. My clients say they feel safe with me, that I’m not judgey, I’m a good listener, and I help them with new insights.

Fun facts: I’m a Manifestor in Human Design. An Enneagram 7. A Taurus sun, Libra moon, Gemini rising. I love to cook and arrange flowers. I have 2 kids and a great husband. I meditate most every morning. I love journaling and photography. I’m really good at sleep. I’m obsessed with colors and Lake Michigan. I love to write - I’ve got a book brewin in me. I’m from the midwest so I have no use for the g at the end of ing words. Oh you should sign up for my weekly email! I bet you’ll like it. I’m post-menopausal and an empty-nester. I’m creative and like arts & crafts of all kinds. I’m really into clothes and shoes and cool jewelry and beautiful objects with a good origin story. I’m pretty quirky. Funny is a high value. As is fun. If it’s not fun I’m just not likely to do it.

What’s with the name: Why City Cricket? There are many layers to the name. And they continue to unfold.

My husband came up with it seemingly randomly (we know nothing is ever random tho) because it embodies both my love for the buzzy city energy and my love of the natural world. I thrive on the energy of the city - my Human Design even says so! And I use the natural world as an energetic guide for my life and work. I feel really connected to Mother Earth - I’ve spent many lifetimes here.

The spiritual symbolism of the cricket is about independence and dancing to your own song. It supports you with power and strength and brings you back to light and hope. That’s my calling. My purpose. That’s how I serve you.

And this line from my favorite poet Mary Oliver: “...the cricket has such splendid fringe on its feet and it sings, have you noticed, with its whole body...” My work is based on the care of our whole selves - spirit, mind, and body; energetic and physical.

I believe that Cricket called me to her medicine. She called me to work with her and then to be a guide for others who needed and wanted her medicine. You can read all about Cricket medicine in my blog post here.

So that’s me! What else do you wanna know? Wanna work together? Need to talk more? There are buttons for each of those right down there…

Hope to connect with you soon!
