Many moons and many different interests, experiences, and trainings have led me here. 

I’ve been interested in the wisdom of the body since I can remember. I learned a few Yoga poses in kindergarten, starting a life-long practice and inspiring me to later become a Registered Yoga Teacher. For many years, I also worked directly with the body through Western and Eastern massage traditions, breathwork, and movement.  I even did animal massage!

Connecting the body with the mind, I layered in meditation and mindfulness practices, stress reduction techniques, Positive Psychology, and many grounding and self-regulation techniques that address the nervous system and help regulate our thoughts and emotions. 

I also work with the higher mind by weaving in different spiritual traditions that I’ve studied, from the ancient esoteric wisdom teachings of Djwahl Kuhl, the Transcendentalism movement, Science of Mind, Native and Indigenous rituals, Christianity, Nature-based spirituality, and more.

Along the way, I studied musical harmonics, built skills as a writer, published books, taught English, and earned a master’s degree in education. I lived in England and traveled around the world for several years. And because we are all spiritual beings having a human experience, I used humor throughout my work to keep it real.

All of these elements, woven throughout my life, have helped guide and heal me through major change, loss, grief, and pain of every description. They have helped me find joy and freedom in my body, mind, and spirit. 

I have many tools at my disposal to help you heal yourself, and I bring this wealth of life experience to you as a somatic coach.
