Healing is not about fixing what's broken. It's about remembering who you are beneath what you've carried.
Born to Irish parents and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was shaped by two worlds: one rooted in Irish tradition, storytelling, intuition, and a deep respect for the unseen, and the other grounded in modern science, psychology, and compassionate care. Together, they inspired a lifelong fascination with healing, transformation, and the stories we carry within us.
In Irish, anam means soul. It is the name I chose for this work because the soul is what I have always been speaking to.
For more than twenty years, my work as a nurse and end-of-life doula has given me the privilege of sitting beside people during some of life's most tender moments. Grief, illness, caregiving, uncertainty, and profound transition have taught me that healing rarely comes from finding the perfect answer. More often, it begins when we feel safe enough to be seen, heard, and gently supported.
I believe our experiences leave an imprint. Grief, fear, heartbreak, disappointment, guilt, and the stories we never had the chance to tell can quietly shape the way we move through life.
Sometimes those patterns began with us. Sometimes they've been carried through generations.
In our work together, I use gentle energy healing, soothing sound, and intuitive listening to help uncover what may be ready to shift. Together we explore the emotional patterns your body and spirit have been quietly holding, some from your own story and some carried down through the generations before you and create a safe space for them to release.
Tarot is also close to my heart. Through card readings, I offer insight and reflection to help you see your path more clearly. And for those who feel called, I offer guided journeys, an ancient practice I continue to study through core shamanism, where we travel inward together to listen to what your soul has to say. Every session is personalized, meeting you exactly where you are with compassion, curiosity, and care.
My hope is not to change who you are, but to help you reconnect with the wisdom, resilience, and wholeness that have always been within you.
My training includes certification in the Inherited Release Method, Reiki, sound healing, tarot advising, meditation and mindfulness, and Ayurvedic healing with essential oils, along with ongoing studies in Core Shamanic practices through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.
My approach honors the whole person. Every session is guided by compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for your unique experience.
Whether you are navigating grief, a life transition, emotional overwhelm, or simply feeling called toward something more, my intention is always the same:
To help you gently release what no longer belongs to you and reconnect with your own inner wisdom.
Because healing is not about becoming someone new.
It is about remembering who you are beneath what you have carried.
If these words resonate with you, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
If something speaks to you or you simply feel called to learn more, I invite you to reach out.
Whether you’re curious about emotional release sessions, intuitive coaching, tarot advising, or the next step on your path, your message is always welcome here.
Sessions available in San Mateo, at Bay Area Events, and Virtually.
