2004 to 2006 – I studied a 600-hour energy healing training program and worked with homeless women in N Street Village’s wellness clinic. I then moved away from that modality and toward a more spiritual approach, with a focus on creative and caring listening awareness of “the light” within you, trusting that to know the way and guide us both.

2004 through 2013 – Many indirect, circumstantial experiences of using awareness of this “light” and gentle navigation of boundaries to manage crisis situations, de-escalate violence, and help restore others to a friendly state of mutual trust.

2013 – completed a process called a Quaker “clearness committee” which resulted in mutual clarity that i am following clear, inner guidance from the divine to do some type of healing work, and may proceed.

2013 through 2025 – While this work continued to have small, regular expression in my life, I went through an extended period of personal healing.

2024 and early 2025 – I went through an intense period of blessing and forgiving everything that is happening in our society and all that is at work within me too…and finally became ready to do this work.

Once a woman called me a channel, once someone said I should work for the diplomatic corps, someone once told me that I brought peace (via bodywork) after a jolt of energy flashed through their system, another client told me that I was teaching them how to meditate with their body. I’ve been told that I have “good hands” and a loving/attentive presence, and that I am someone whose intuitive work is deeply encouraging and empowering. Even more challenging has been the moments of apparent profound healing for someone. During the extended period of self-care, I have struggled a lot to accept these good experiences. For me this work always feels that it is not coming from me, but from you, the client…and I have felt entirely unworthy of being in this place. I am inspired by your actions, your words, and your own profound Spirit as it guides you. I needed to grow in my ability to heal myself and love myself before I could be ready to show up as fully as I have wanted to, for others. I am still a work in progress but this is our moment, and I am ready to support.

My fee is set to be reasonable for those who are struggling financially, currently $70 per session, while allowing for tips if you would like to give them. After your first session, if you would like to schedule multiple sessions at a package price, you can do so.

A sliding scale fee may also be available. Feel free to email me at heyinnerlight@gmail.com to discuss.

“Hey Inner Light!” is a friendly gesture to the spark of wild Spirit that is in you, that won’t be contained and is truly nature, and truly divine.

As a Quaker, I have been taught that the Inner Light is a bit of the mystical and actual presence of Christ. This is a challenging concept for many, and I am an interfaith progressive Quaker, myself. I believe my best contribution to the topic is a) honoring your own personal experience of “the Light” in your life… and b) the powerful Wholeness that I encounter when giving sessions, a wholeness that is strangely merciful and perceptive.

The world is so fond of telling us that we are all, truly in a state of scarcity. I love the parable of the long spoons (nod to Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen’s telling of it). It says that in both heaven and hell people are seated at tables with very long spoons, too long to be able to feed themselves. In hell, they starve because they can’t “make their own spoon work”… but in heaven, they creatively and empathetically feed one another, and in doing so, they are all satisfied.

I’m thinking of this lately as I feel abundance at a time when myself and many others are losing their jobs and existing in fear. Maybe this is a time to step into what you’re here to do. Join me! Do your own thing and be YOU finally. The world needs you. If you need help…there is no shame in that, it’s a wonderful journey, needing each other. Let me know if I can be of help.
