“How might your life have been different if there had been a place for you to go when your life was difficult and you felt utterly alone…a place of safety and comfort.”

Somatic · ATTUNED· InTegrated
We have entered into a time where we remember that we are not problems to be solved or fixed, but rather mysteries to be tenderly uncovered, nurtured, and explored. My work with clients often draws on and increases the capacity to listen to the subtle messages of our bodies, our relationships, our dreams, and the natural world.
We may be a great fit to work together if you:
Consider yourself a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), a Creative, an Artist, and/or Neurodivergent
Want to find ways to identify, befriend, and integrate the fragmented selves to find the initiatory gifts hidden within each part
Experience relationship or attachment challenges
Know you benefit from working with a therapist that holds a relational and holistic lens
Want to acknowledge and address the emotional aspects of physical issues
*Services offered online and in-person

1:1 COACHING
Heart-based · connection to more than human self · embody a dream
I guide people toward integration, healing, and living in alignment with their soul by tuning into the wisdom of their body, dreams, and the rhythms of nature. You might be a good fit for this work if:
You feel a profound and unmet longing for a life of deeper meaning and purpose—a path to psychological and spiritual maturity
You feel called or are drawn to explore your connection to the subtle realms of the soul, the living Earth, and mystery
You want to recognize and consciously cultivate your embodied innate human wholeness
You want support as you learn to trust the guidance you receive from your own experiences
You are a fellow practitioners who feels drawn to serve from this sacred, mythic path of courting the soul through somatics, the unconscious realms, and nature
*Services offered online and in-person
“The living Earth is our mirror, the meeting place of spirit and matter. It speaks in sensation, rhythm, and pulse. Feeling is our doorway in. As nature ourselves, we awaken to our essence by sensing, listening, and answering the call that arises from the heart of being.”
Restorative Touch Sessions
Individually tailored Somatic Touch session. These sessions are informed by understanding the effects of the attachment system, developmental trauma, and pre-verbal trauma in the child. These often unattended to pre-verbal traumas have lasting impacts into adulthood, which is when we often start to pay attention. By understanding the neurochemistry of early trauma, and rebuilding developmental platforms through regulating touch and presence, clients begin to move from a high-cost-of-doing-life system, aka BURNOUT, to a more easeful and less stress-oriented system.
Touch is a beautiful bridge that gently reconnects the mind and body to the soul.
Sessions are informed by Advanced Somatic Trainings, Touch Training for Developmental Trauma, Polarity Therapy, and years of advanced massage and bodywork trainings.
*Services can be offered online or in-person. During online appointments, sessions are offer energetically through intent and presence. Please reach out if you would like resources or more information about virtual or “distant” touch sessions.
“how might your life be different, if there were a place for you to go, whenever you feel overwhelmed by the power of your feelings? If you could be received by women gathered in a circle and helped to witness your feelings…and to trust their truth
How might the lives of all of us be different?”
—Judith Duerk

My Approach
My work with clients is experiential, drawing on a deep understanding of Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Jungian Psychology, and the subtle emotional and energetic systems of the body. I integrate over twenty years of training and practice in mind-body-soul modalities to support healing and transformation.
I believe in treating the whole person—not just the mind or body alone. True healing comes from releasing stress and trauma across the entire system: physical, mental, and subtle energetic systems, including the nervous system and biofield.
My commitment to integrative work comes from a profound appreciation for the complexity and beauty of the embodied experience. I guide clients to reconnect with their wholeness, cultivating alignment of mind, body, and soul.
