My motivation in starting Waning Moon Healing and developing my signature program, "Mindful w/Mikki", is to empower women to live holistically and in complete harmony with their inner light; a light that is in all of us that can be felt and expressed through understanding and connecting to our energetic system.

This light, when tapped into, is the key to wholeness, which for decades of my life was elusive.

Emotional trauma controlled my every day from a very young age, leading to a life riddled with anxiety and depression and eventually addiction after the death of my mother in 2011.

On February 22, 2019 my family was told to say goodbye. I was in liver failure from over use of prescription anxiety medication and alcohol.

Two hours before my transfer to hospice care I received a life saving liver. A kidney would follow in early 2020.

I will be sharing bits of my memoir and continuing healing journey through the blog page.

What I wasn't told about recovery is that while organ transplantation would give me life, I was still lost mentally, spiritually and emotionally. 

With continued antidepressants and anxiety medications I tried to become present again for my husband and daughter while healing from addiction and transplantation.

I hated that the prediction of my future revolved around the right doses of yet more addictive medications that came with unbearable side effects.

I was doing a disservice to the people I loved the most. I wasn't the healed me I had envisioned. I had not even begun to heal emotionally.

I bring 30 years of holistic healing and nutrition education and practice with me on this journey. The very principles I had grounded myself in for over three decades meant nothing in my fight against depression.

Post transplant I began to rediscover the beauty of natural healing that got lost in my desperation to make the pain of losing my mother stop.

But in order to get off prescription medication and nurture my gifted organs and connect with my spirituality I had to go deeper. I had to get to the core of my being. I had to find my light.

Energy work led me to a place of acceptance and authentic love for myself, something I had been chasing since childhood. 

Tapping into my energetic body calmed my nervous system helping me to naturally overcome trauma triggers and emotional blocks that medication and therapy could not fix while also healing my body and spirit.

With clients I share my combination of energy work techniques, ancient wisdom and holistic lifestyle accompaniments that have been the foundation of my healing journey.

Whether it’s stress, emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, insomnia, addiction, or grief, energy work is a natural, gentle approach for your wellness and prevention of chronic illness.

While practicing energy work I have weaned myself off of five mood altering medications, blood pressure medication, and naturally balanced my hormones while maintaining ideal blood levels since beginning energy work in 2020.
