About Mandy
Mandy was born and raised in San Diego County, where she continues to reside with her beloved husband, Michael, and their two 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 by developing their self awareness, building trust in their personal intuition, and actively participating in their own health outcomes.
She has attended over 60 live births, as well as five active deaths, providing therapeutic touch as clients move through these sacred threshold moments. Mandy’s personal health challenges in adolescence led her to pursuing an in-depth education in the holistic sciences. Her experiential learning continues to serve as inspiration for continued healing, most notably through her survivorship of stage IV metastatic breast cancer and complete recovery/remission of disease.
