About Angel
I’m on a mission to change the way we do healthcare. Walking side-by-side with clients, I work to decrease suffering by educating, inspiring and empowering people to use self-care as their first line of healthcare. I treat each person as a unique individual and dive deep supporting them to reclaim their right to authentic health and well-being one simple, sustainable step at a time.
My Mission
My client’s and students report that my presence is very soothing and calming. They ask if I’ve always been like this — and, of course, I have to say “No.” It’s taken me years to recover from the effects of chronic stress, digestive troubles, hormone imbalances and a lack of clarity and self-confidence.
In the midst of my journey, my motto became, live the practice ~ teach the process. This is how the AwareBody Process was born: by using all of the tools myself that I now teach from the fields of functional nutrition, somatic psychology, trauma healing, mindfulness and self-compassion to grow and heal into a life I actually want to live.
It does NOT have to take years for you to regain your health! It is now my passion to help others tune into themselves and to learn the language of their body, mind, heart and soul, so that they become their own best healer and wellness advocate.
I invite you to join me to create a community of wellness warriors, so that we might take back our right to care for our health and wellbeing in the ways that makes us stronger, clearer and more whole!
My Approach
My Adventure in the Making
For over 20 years, I ran an integrative massage therapy practice in New York City and the Hudson Valley of New York. During this time I learned to connect and be present with my clients on a deep physical, mental and emotional level and help them shift their health from a state of stress to one of ease and wellbeing.
Now, I’m so excited that I’ve taken my career to the next level. As an Integrative Health Coach & Functional Nutrition Counselor working virtually with people all over the world, I get to live my authentic life. I can be found outdoors traveling with my partner in the Casita travel trailer or cruising the San Juan Islands in the Willard Vega Voyager - all the while continuing to connect with and support my clients. I finally feel like the pieces have fallen together to be of service to people who are struggling and in pain, to help educate and transform illness and dis-ease into a peaceful, vibrant, sustainable healthy lifestyle.
