Welcome

Growth asks that we lean into the questions

I am a facilitator, guide, embodiment educator and personal growth advocate and have spent over 3 decades developing this practice and supporting people to transform their lives.
I am dedicated to helping people grow, heal, change and feel more connection within themselves and their relationships.

I am certified and trained in somatics, meditation, developmental movement, yoga, expressive movement, craniosacral therapy, trauma informed practices, Hakomi Method, co-counseling, conflict transformation, circle process, vocal and sound healing, life coaching, rites of passage, therapeutic nutrition, and have been mentored in spiritual guidance. I have been offering workshops and mentoring around the globe for over 30 years, drawing on my skills, training, and experience in therapeutic, mind body, and wellness practices.
I have been further trained through decades of facilitation experience, research, and being guided and inspired by other amazing teachers.

The Landscape of This Practice

My passion is guiding and holding space for people to witness their experiences, deepen their awareness of their thoughts, and connect with their emotions, all while developing a language that supports them in relating to themselves more fully and authentically. Learning to discern our feelings and experiences is key to personal growth. It involves exploring the many different parts of who we are, embracing vulnerability, and expanding our relationship with ourselves. This process uncovers new perspectives that enable us to live more authentically. By cultivating this connection, we invite greater ease, energy, and depth into our lives and relationships.

Along with my trainings, I have been deeply informed by my experience as a professional dancer & performer, touring musician, world traveler, wisdom seeker and photographer. All these paths, along with my facilitation work in diverse communities, have allowed me to continually grow as a person, deepen the guidance I offer and understand how I can best support others.

I believe in biology and science, and all that we can measure. And I believe in the power of love and compassion, to be in awe, to sense magic and so much more that we cannot measure… the brilliance that asks us to trust and believe in our own felt experience on the deepest levels of self.

What motivates and inspires me is the belief that each of us has infinite potential for change and growth. The journey is about developing our skills and inner resources to create the change we seek in ourselves and the world.

We all need each other on this wild ride called life

Each of us is unique in what we seek, what works for us, and how we can be supported or nourished in both our current situations and long-term journeys. There are many reasons we turn to a guide, coach, or ally for the change or growth we desire in our lives.

I understand this and meet each person where they are, offering guidance tailored to move towards where they want to go. This work helps individuals explore the ‘who’ and ‘how’ of themselves from various perspectives, creating new possibilities for growth.

This space of possibility is found in developing the key skills of Awareness, Kindness, and Curiosity. These skills are used in context with somatic and embodiment exercises to discern our thoughts, emotions and sensations, to expand our use of language, to develop the relational nature of our parts of self and to find new perspectives for our lived experience. All of this is supported by a range of tools that help us map and integrate our insights into our everyday lives. I believe that when each person has more access to resources for growth within themselves, this is where change can emerge from. And that as we each do this work, this growth ripples out from us and creates change in the world.

Whether you view this work as personal growth, therapy, spirituality, activism, or something else entirely—whether it feels essential, intimidating, joyful, or you’re unsure what to make of it—my answer is YES. I’m glad you’re here.

Our personal growth is served by our commitment and investment in ourselves. Like the seasons in nature, our growth can happen in cycles. Sessions and mentorship are designed to meet you where you are and support where you are going.
