I'm here because of my personal healing journey to reconnect the
disconnected, process the unprocessed, fill the unfilled, and hold the unheld.
After 12 bustling years as an entrepreneur in NYC, I was left
feeling disconnected, unfulfilled, and craved for something more.
In 2011, I met a teacher in Bali and began a deep plunge into healing through Yoga and Ayurveda. There, I spent the next 2 years in a deep practice of listening, (un)learning, nurturing, and harmonizing. This was the most pivotal and (r)evolutionary time for seeding and experiencing what true embodied health is, and could be.
Since then, I have devoted my days to supporting body-mind-heart integration, empowerment, and somatic education through trauma healing on individual and collective levels, from ancestral to historic, from early development to now.
I began my technical hands-on schooling at UC Berkeley's Sports Medicine dept, and continued body therapy programs at McKinnon + SFSM. Trauma healing trainings in Somatic Experiencing® (a body-oriented trauma healing modality), Kathy Kain's Somatic Practice (trauma healing through touch), Resilience and Regulation (developmental trauma healing), and Movement for Trauma (somatic practices to build capacity). And finally, Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent helps to build somatic clarity, responsibility, and confidence through all choices.
Today, I continue learning and supporting the healing community by assisting in both Kathy Kain's Somatic Practice and Somatic Experiencing® trainings. I have a private practice and facilitate groups with ROOT (Reclaiming Our Own Transcendence). All the while, I am supported through the rhythms of Nature, community, yoga, and healing-centered practices. Together, they guide me + ground me into deeper presence, stillness, and attunement with myself + others.
May all bodies feel safety, well-being, and belonging.
I offer my deepest gratitude to my ancestors, guides, and teachers.
