Pasha holds
a degree in Business Studies from Waterford Institute of Technology in Ireland

for her life’s work. She went on to Crawford College of Art & Design
in Cork, Ireland and completed training in Arts & Empowerment Facilitation.
Pasha had a private psychotherapy practice in Ireland before moving to Santa
Fe, New Mexico where she now lives, works and travels from. Pasha has always
been interested in the integration of body, mind and spirit and is a practicing
Reiki Master/Teacher and disciple of yoga. She has traveled extensively throughout

Through her workshops, speaking engagements and private practice, Pasha’s
mission is to empower individuals to live passionately and transform life
challenges into profound learning and healing experiences.
