About Mandy

Mandy was born and raised in San Diego County, where she continues to reside with her beloved husband, Michael, and their two young daughters, Dahlia & Marigold. She has been studying massage, holistic healing, herbalism, ancestral lineage, and esoteric teachings while working as a therapeutic bodyworker since 2001. Mandy receives great joy and fulfillment in assisting clients to better understand what is happening within their bodies, develop their self awareness, build trust in their personal intuition, and actively participate in their own health and well being. She has attended over 60 live births, as well as three active deaths, providing therapeutic touch as clients move through these sacred threshold moments. Her personal health challenges originally led her to the path of holistic wellness and continue to serve as inspiration for continued healing, most notably through her survivorship of stage IV metastatic breast cancer and complete recovery/remission of disease.
