The best way out is always through…Even when it’s really hard.
A few months after my 15-year-old son, BJ, passed away from the most curable type of childhood cancer, a dear friend gently suggested I try something called Biofield Tuning.
She thought it might help ease the weight of the trauma I was carrying — and maybe even uncover and release other emotional layers I hadn't yet faced.
At the time, I was in a very dark place. Grief had swallowed my world whole, leaving me barely able to breathe, let alone be fully present for my 11-year-old daughter.
I felt lost, broken, and consumed by sorrow.
That first Biofield Tuning session was powerful beyond words and with each session that followed, I slowly began to find pieces of myself again.
Healing wasn’t linear and it sure wasn’t easy.
I had to sit with raw emotions — feel them fully, acknowledge them, and allow them to move through me. I believe with all my heart that the only way out is through.
When we repress emotions, they don’t disappear. They settle into the body, often resurfacing later as emotional struggles or even physical illness. Giving those emotions space, allowing them to be heard and released, is essential for true healing.
Most of us are never taught how to do this. We hold our pain deep inside. Biofield Tuning helps find where that pain is stored, gently untangles it, and restores balance — giving the body and spirit the freedom to heal.
These sound healing sessions were a lifeline for me. They helped me get through each day without being completely overwhelmed by the trauma and grief of BJ’s journey and his loss. Over time, I realized I wasn’t just surviving — I was functioning better than I had even before his diagnosis.
Because this work helped me, I truly believe it can help you too.
I became a certified Biofield Tuning Practitioner because I felt called to share this powerful modality with others.
Since then, I’ve continued my training, earning both Advanced and Master Biofield Tuning Practitioner certifications, which were with the Founder of Biofield Tuning, Eileen Day McKusick.
I’m also a certified Usui/Holy Fire® III Reiki Master and Karuna Reiki® Master. Reiki, like Biofield Tuning, is a gentle yet powerful way to support emotional, physical, and energetic healing.
Wherever you are on your journey, I would be honored to hold space for you, to support you, and to walk beside you as you find your way back to wholeness.
Healing is not about forgetting — it’s about finding your way back to yourself with love, compassion, and strength.
Through heartbreak, good arises
I had to channel my fierce love for my son somewhere, because “love” with no place to go is called “grief” and I needed it to go somewhere for my own survival.
Six months after my son passed, my daughter, Carly (11 years old at the time she witnessed her brother’s death), and I created a non-profit organization - called Stand Firm Warrior Foundation - to help kids who have cancer. Click below to find out more!
