ABOUT ME

Based in Southern California, I am a Somatica and tantra trained embodiment, intimacy, and relationship Coach, DV and SA survivor, Single mom, and fitness enthusiast, with a passion for helping people free themselves from the pain of their past and become their freest and most authentic selves.

My practice is rooted in open and reciprocal vulnerability, and deeply grounded in empathy. Healing happens when you can be seen fully, without judgement, and can begin to call home all of your rejected parts with compassion and love, and my practice offers deep compassion, a sustainable pace, and a safe space for whatever arises.

For many years I denied myself acknowledgement of the reality of my experiences. I allowed myself to suffer silently, repressing and dissociating. I packed tidy little boxes filled with my monsters and I lined them up just out of reach. I quietly assumed that everyone around me was right, that I was too much, that my needs didn’t matter and neither did my monsters.

Eventually I found therapy, but even there I underplayed my suffering. I overintellectualized it, made excuses for my abusers and believed the lies that my shame told me. Trying to overcome my shame of existing as a woman in the world with a body was a tall ask. I wanted to heal my trauma, I wanted to take back my autonomy, I wanted my needs to matter.

As I started exploring my expansion, I wanted to find my own inner fire, and be in flow with life, instead of constantly battling. I found through my own personal somatic and spiritual work, that these things are available only through embodiment, sensory living, connection to Self, connection to other, and connection to the spirit of nature.

Claiming ownership of the role I play in my life, my growth needs, and my nervous system regulation, opened new levels of growth, creativity, expansion, and stretched my capacity for love of Self and other has been an integral part of my journey to healing. Embodiment through Breath, Meditation, and Dance has set me free from so many limitations, has expanded my capacity and ability to sit in discomfort so that I could truly move through my blockages and thaw what was once frozen. From disassociated to free and flowing. From frozen to a roaring river of life. My practice brings you a safe space to let go, to move through the blockages, and to release the stories and shame.
