About

Mission

I work with women at the intersection of the body, creativity, and self-trust. I’m here to guide you into a closer, richer, more satisfying relationship with yourself so that you can have better relationships, more ease and fulfillment, and a sense of agency and power to make change in your life.

I offer somatic coaching that guides women through transitions and reckonings with identity, sexuality, intimacy, grief, and motherhood.

Whether in 1:1, group, or digital format, the goal of our work together is to develop your attunement to and trust in your own instincts in service of greater vitality and courage. The work we do together, and the work I’ll invite you to do on your own with my coaching, is designed to increase self-compassion and self-trust, improve clarity on how to approach conflict, empower you to change behaviors that you want to adjust, and provide greater discernment about where to direct your precious life force energy.

I am your warm, expert, and transparently real guide down a relational and experiential pathway that leads to feeling more at home in yourself, rather than constantly at odds with yourself. Our work meets you where you’re at: in your daily life, with your messiness. Every part of you is welcome here—yes, even that part. After all, your wholeness and complexity is the point.

Method

My primary modality is Somatic Experiencing, a therapeutic technique that was developed as an alternative and supplement to traditional talk therapy. SE puts us in touch with our visceral experience (‘felt sense’) of self and offers simple, sensation-based techniques to re-wire behavioral patterns and trauma to restore a sense of wholeness. This technique, combined with the teachings of Tantra and Ayurveda are the foundation of my practice and philosophy.

I am a full-spectrum Ayurvedic doula (pre-conception through postpartum, including loss), a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and a Somatic Sex Educator. I have studied the art of female pelvic care with noted experts Kimberly Ann Johnson, Pamela Samuelson, Caffyn Jesse, and Tami Lynn Kent, utilizing touch and consent-based communication to address undigested emotions, unexpressed desire, trauma, longing, and ancestral wounds. With these tools, I support women (and sometimes their partners) in living, loving, and creating from their felt sense of center.

I draw from…

…Somatic Experiencing

…expressive arts

…yoga

…depth psychology

…birthwork

…physiologic postpartum care

…grief work

to provide women and mothers with an alternative to our culture’s binary that says we are either well or sick, or right or wrong.

passions

I am, first and foremost, a creative. My first entry point to my body and my creativity was dance, and I continue to be the most inspired, supported, and healed by movement.

I am also a writer, and the more I repattern my nervous system, the more I discover that our art is our way of being, and when we have a deep connection to our being, we can't help but make art.

But my actual, true passion, is reverence - reverence for birth, for the body, for the divine feminine mysteries. With each client, each day with my children, each experience of learning to transmute hurt to power, I come back to the fact that reverence for life is the greatest power on this planet.
