My story started out as an adventure for kids called Bloom & Play. The business has evolved into a studio dedicated to stress reduction and calm for adults, called Bloom - A Space for Calm. I look forward to this new chapter and to working with clients in Hillsborough and the surrounding communities.

With over 40 years in healthcare as a nurse (2024 recipient of the Outpatient Nurse of the Year at UNC) and more than 10 years as a Reiki Master, my work blends clinical knowledge and understanding with gentle energy-based care. I have a deep interest in stress reduction and relaxation as a way to support overall wellbeing and help prevent the long-term effects of chronic stress.

Bloom is located in beautiful downtown Hillsborough at 110 West Margaret. The 1912 historic building is recently renovated and ready for business. The front of the building is a new store, Proven Curated Cookbooks and Culinary Essentials, and Bloom is in two spaces in the rear of the building. The spaces include a quiet room for the stress reduction session, and the other space is a small boutique with calming scents and carefully chosen gifts designed to extend the sense of calm beyond the studio. I look forward to meeting you!
