The House That Healed Me (And Now You)
Welcome to Casa Up Your Vibe – where old walls hold new wisdom.
I was the youngest of five, raised in this very house.There was a lot of fighting… and most often, I was the one caught in the crossfire. As a child, I didn’t have the words for it, but I longed for something different. Something calmer. Safer. Peace.
Years later, during the renovation of my childhood bedroom — walls coming down, old wounds rising up — I uncovered something that stopped me in my tracks: The word “Peace” etched on the plaster in my own tiny 6- or 7-year-old handwriting.

I had written it there, over 50 years ago.
Even then… I knew.
That word, scribbled in secret decades ago, became my guiding light. This home wasn’t just being rebuilt — it was being healed. And so was I.
Now, I’ve created Casa Up Your Vibe to be a place where you can heal too.
It started with a whisper —a quiet vision in my heart, long before I knew the how.
Fifteen years ago, the words House of Healing came to me. Then, Up Your Vibe followed. I almost had that House... and then bam — life took a turn.
But the vision never left.
I held onto the dream of a space filled with light, laughter, and learning —a place where people wouldn’t come to escape their lives, but to fully step into them — healed, empowered, alive.
Back then, the dream felt both wild and inevitable.
Fast forward through years of parenting, caregiving, heartbreaks, and awakenings — and then I discovered German New Medicine (GNM), also known as Germanic Healing Knowledge (GHK).
That whisper? It got louder. Clearer. Unignorable.
Then came the opportunity to buy my childhood home… and that same whisper roared: “It’s time.”
But with the keys in hand came a new realization: Before this house could hold healing, it needed some of its own — a little TLC… and maybe even an exorcism. (Some of my clients have said the same about themselves!)
Renovating this old house was not for the faint of heart. There were nights I collapsed from exhaustion, and days I stood within the gutted rooms wondering what I’d gotten myself into.
But deep down, I knew: this was bigger than tile and lumber.
This was about healing — not just the house, but me. And someday… you.
Every ceiling board I burned, scraped and colored, every stone laid — was infused with love and intention.
This home was becoming what I had always seen in my mind’s eye: a safe, sacred, high-vibe space to heal.
Just like our bodies, the house had stories to tell. Some walls had to come down.The wiring was outdated — the messages weren’t flowing right. The bones were strong, but needed to be inspected and upgraded.(And oh, the treasures tucked under that old plaster.)
That’s exactly how healing works.
When someone walks into Casa Up Your Vibe now, I see it immediately: their shoulders drop, their breath deepens. Something softens. Something opens.
That’s the magic.
Because healing doesn’t have to happen in a sterile office or under fluorescent lights.It can happen barefoot in the kitchen, laughing by the fire, or out on a trail with pine needles underfoot.
It will happen here with our Up Your Vibe Retreats.
We’ll talk about your symptoms — not with fear, but with curiosity and clarity. We’ll trace back to the moment they began and decode what your body is brilliantly trying to tell you. We’ll piece together your story and find the freedom in understanding it.
We’ll eat good food. We’ll get out into nature. We’ll cry if we need to — and yes, we’ll definitely laugh.
And you won’t be alone.
You’ll connect with others walking this same path — people who get it, who are asking the same questions, who want to feel better and live freer.
That feeling of “Finally… someone understands me” — that’s part of the healing too.
By the time you head home, you won’t just feel clearer about your health — you’ll feel clearer about you.
So if you’ve been searching — for answers, for peace, for a new path…
Come to the Adirondacks. Come to my home. Come home to your miraculous self.
Because this isn’t just a retreat. It’s a rebirth.It’s time.
