I came to this work in search of a way to heal some of my deepest wounding. What I found from being able to go within myself, to be still inside that sea of emotional turbulence, was a truth that would change my life in ways that I am still discovering decades later. A truth so profound in its simplicity that
I have devoted my life to sharing it with others – that within each of us is an inner refuge,
a place of wild beauty, innate intelligence, and deep wisdom. A trustworthy place that can hold us steady through the most challenging of times.
So many of our modern cultures train us away from reaching inward, but I believe that to be with one’s self – to be able to regulate the nervous system, find anchoring, learn to recover, and ultimately generate your own relief – is a fundamental skill for wellness of the mind, body, and spirit.
You can be your own healer.
I am honored to be your guide
and anchor.
I am filled with gratitude to create the container and conditions
where this kind of work is possible, and I look forward to being
with you as you give yourself the gift of tending to your inner
world.
We are capable of so much more than we are trained for. I
consider the skills that I teach as requisite to being alive and
living in our bodies. They are not magical or mystical, though
you may experience them that way. They are rooted in biology
and chemistry, validated by scientific observation and analysis.
But how we experience being in our bodies is too often a
mystery to ourselves, and without the thoughtful attention and
tending they deserve, we miss a huge opportunity to be in
alignment with the very vessel we call home.
Through my graduate studies, extensive somatic training,
private practice, and experiences with groups, I’ve had the
great honor of witnessing the deep shifts, transformation, and
growth that is possible when a person learns how to listen to
their body and then move with the wisdom it offers.
