• Clarity and understanding of what’s keeping you stuck

• Acknowledgement and reckoning with the multitude of systems (internally and externally) that impact you

• Space to breathe and open to the innate intelligence that is within you and around you

• Willingness and choice to practice

Informed by our inherent need to “make sense” of what is and to feel connected and a sense of belonging, I am here to support you in finding your way back home to yourself.

I practice with knowledge of the nervous system and how it is trying to protect before it can thrive, an understanding of how the dominant narrative in culture perpetuates an unhealthy illusion of separation (which benefits some more than others), a belief in our multiplicity of mind and essential spiritual nature, and a desire to model and lead by example. And I hold what “I know” lightly, as my mind remains open to new information and the lived experience of others.

In other words:

• Polyvagal Theory

• Regulation Theory

• Critical Theory

• Breathwork

• Body-based Approaches (Somatics and Wisdom Teachings)

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I have many identity markers that have inherent privilege built into them, and I of course have been subject to discrimination and judgement for aspects of who I am at a certain place or time as well. I have ancestral bloodlines that connect me to both colonizer and colonized, and this internal reckoning has been one of my most epic journeys. I have benefited from practicing and teaching healing modalities that have roots in multiple ancient cultures. I celebrate the strength and wisdom of these people and their teachings while I continue to understand and take action in the ongoing process of truth and reconciliation.
