Your Guide from Survival to Sovereignty

The Mission

My mission is simple: to empower you to heal deeply, discover your purpose, and live with clarity and courage.

I believe transformation is contagious. When one person heals, it ripples outward to families, communities, and the collective. Mountain Mind Tricks exists to support that ripple through somatic healing, ancestral clearing, and spiritual alignment.

My Values

  • Facing both light and shadow with love.

  • Living in truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.

  • Healing together for the highest good of all.

  • Remaining teachable and seeking harmony within.

  • Trusting the process and the goodness of life.

  • Understanding that real change unfolds over time.

My Journey

From the Fireline to the Healing Path

For fifteen years, I served as a wildland firefighter, leading crews through some of the most dangerous terrain in the western United States. On the outside, I was strong. Inside, constant stress, trauma, and loss were burning me alive.

When my captain and best friend passed away suddenly in 2015, everything shifted. Grief cracked me open. I began meditating to survive, and what I found instead was awakening and an undeniable call to heal and to help others do the same.

That call led me to acupuncture, to Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Mental and Emotional Release®, to Qigong and Huna. These practices changed my body, my mind, and my spirit. I experienced what true freedom feels like. The moment fear finally releases its grip.

Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken; it’s about releasing what’s been carried for too long. When we let go of stored emotion and trauma, the mind clears, the body restores, and the spirit begins to lead. My purpose is to help you experience that letting-go so you can move through life with presence, peace, and purpose.

Now I live in the Pacific Northwest, surrounded by forests and mountains that remind me daily of the balance between stillness and fire. I find clarity on long hikes, strength through Qigong, and connection in the quiet rhythm of morning meditation. These aren’t just practices I teach; they are the way I live.

Today, that experience fuels everything I offer through Mountain Mind Tricks: practical tools for emotional freedom, nervous-system balance, and spiritual awakening.

Professional Credentials

My background in both emergency leadership and deep inner work gives me a rare perspective: I understand pressure, fear, and resilience at every level from the physical to the spiritual.

  • My Master Practitioner certification through the Association for Integrative Psychology gives me the tools to create rapid, lasting change in the deepest layers of the mind.

    This work helps clients release anger, sadness, fear, hurt, and guilt at their root. Through NLP and Mental and Emotional Release®, I help you rewire the unconscious patterns that shape your emotions, behaviors, and beliefs; creating transformation that’s felt in body, mind, and spirit.

  • Earning my Spiritual Coaching certification with Awakened Academy was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. The training deepened my own spiritual growth while teaching co-active coaching, NLP techniques, accountability structures, and dharma and raja yoga philosophy.

    This foundation allows me to meet each client with compassion and clarity, guiding them to uncover the true source of pain and integrate lasting change after releasing stored emotions.

  • My Hypnosis Practitioner certification provided the structure and science behind powerful guided meditations and subconscious reprogramming.

    By understanding how suggestion and imagery influence the mind, I craft customized meditations that dissolve limiting beliefs, support integration after Breakthrough Sessions, and help clients step forward with calm confidence.

  • Huna, a form of Hawaiian shamanism, weaves together ancient symbols, energy healing, Ho‘oponopono, and connection with the Higher Self.

    Combining this lineage with Reiki allows me to address healing at the energetic level, balancing the mind–body connection and amplifying the results of Mental and Emotional Release®. Energy work brings harmony to the nervous system and restores natural flow.

  • My background in anatomy, nutrition, and metabolic processes supports a holistic approach to healing. Physical wellness is part of emotional wellness; when we fuel and move the body intentionally, the mind follows.

    I use this knowledge to help clients strengthen vitality, restore balance, and integrate mind–body practices into daily life.

  • Fourteen years on the fireline forged the foundation of my work. Facing life-and-death decisions built a deep understanding of fear, courage, and resilience.

    This experience taught me what truly matters when everything is on the line, and it’s the same clarity I bring to my clients. My background in wildland fire gives me the ability to hold steady space for others as they move through their own internal fires toward peace and purpose.
