About

I facilitate transformative experiences by reconnecting you with your embodied wisdom and compassionate presence—walking alongside you as you navigate profound journeys, I help you move from insight to embodied change.
My Journey to This Work

For most of my life, I lived disconnected from my body and at war with myself.

On the surface, I was a CrossFit coach and a highly competitive athlete—strong, disciplined, driven. But beneath the surface, I was struggling with addiction, using substances to numb what I couldn't yet name or feel.

After leaving an abusive marriage, I began casually exploring expanded states of consciousness. One particularly beautiful yet destabilizing experience cracked me open in ways I wasn't prepared for. I knew immediately that I needed support, but I had no idea what that meant or where to find it.

What followed were a number of synchronistic events that led me to Jungian Therapy. After following Jung's approach for a couple of years, my body began waking up. Intermittently my eyes began to swell with tears, my spine began pulsing like a heartbeat, and my heart ached as if someone had it clenched in their fist. I had absolutely no understanding of what was happening. I couldn't connect my tears to an emotion and I didn't understand why they were pouring down my face. I didn't know how to soothe my heartache and my pulsing spine increased along with my psychological distress. I eventually found my way into somatic healing circles, and then somatic therapy itself.

At first, I was confused by how much I couldn't feel compared to what others were expressing in these somatic circles and courses. While in many ways my internal world was louder than it had ever been, when I would intentionally look inside, I saw nothing, and I felt nothing, at least at first. Occasionally I did begin to feel something, but when I did all I could feel was tightness. I didn't have the language, awareness, or capacity to be with what was underneath my skin. I quickly realized that my body held a story far beyond what my mind could grasp—and I had been completely disconnected from it.

If I wanted real transformation and lasting change, I would need to learn to listen, trust, and allow the wisdom of my body to unfold in it's own time and guide my healing.

What you seek is seeking you - Rumi
The Call to Guide Others

From that first profound yet destabilizing expanded state experience, I knew I was called to support others through similar terrain. I didn't have words for it yet, but I understood instinctively that this calling was as much for me as it was for others.

While I knew part of my path was supporting others through transitions and transformative experiences, I also knew I would need to walk my own journey long enough—deep enough—to build a foundation in my own system before I could hold space for anyone else's transformation.

It's been five years since that initial experience. Five years of unlearning, learning, embodying, descending, ascending, expanding, contracting, and integrating. Five years of discovering what it means to come home to myself, and the rest of whatever life I have ahead of me to continue on that path.

And now, I'm honored to offer others support along their own journeys.

Training & Background

I weave together a unique blend of somatic, psychological, and consciousness-exploration modalities to support integration of both the profound and the mundane into everyday experience.

Completed Trainings:

  • Somatic Attachment Therapy Certificate (The Embody Lab)

  • Compassionate Inquiry

  • The Tamura Method

Current Studies:

  • Year 4 of 4: The Congregation for Sacred Practices

  • Year 2 of 3: Classical Tantra Teacher Training (Dancing Shiva, Asheville, NC)

  • Year 2 of 3: Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Training

My approach integrates trauma-informed somatic practices, harm reduction principles, the deep wisdom of contemplative and tantric traditions, and nature-based practices.

Core Principles

These beliefs guide how I work with every person:

  • Safety (Trauma-Informed): I provide a reverent space and attune to the needs of your nervous system.

  • Presence & Attunement: I offer a grounded, compassionate presence with clear and compassionate mirroring.

  • Collaboration: Your soul, psyche, and body know the way. I support without directing.

  • Pace That Honors You: We move at and with your rhythm.

How I Work

I help you cultivate an inner container of safety—a place to reconnect with your own wisdom and integrate parts of yourself that have been fragmented or left behind. This is how we build a foundation for lasting change, together.

Beyond the Work

I'm based in Colorado, where I live close to nature and all its beauty.

When I'm not with clients, I'm deepening my own connection with myself and life through writing, hiking, dancing, and following my inner compass of curiosity wherever it leads.

This work is my path, my practice, and my privilege.
