My initiation into somatic healing began thirteen years ago. I was the founding director of a small nonprofit when I began to experience debilitating health symptoms that evaded mainstream treatments. Through the loving assistance of two healing guides, I began to understand my symptoms as messages my body was sending to me. As I attuned to my inner voice, I realized the life I was living was incongruent with my true heart’s desires.

At first, there was an immobilizing fear of leaving behind the safety I had cultivated. But every time I listened to my inner voice, my chronic symptoms would ease and I felt a world of possibility beyond my limited perspective. I followed that voice to the deepest depths of my soul and remotest corners of the world. Along the way, I have been the eternally-grateful recipient of many teachers’ wisdoms, combining new and old, local and global, East and West.

Fast forward many years later, I no longer experience any of my former chronic health symptoms and more importantly, I have cultivated an unwavering trust in my ability to alchemize life’s challenges.

My work focuses on five points of reconnection to self:

1. The Erotic: Igniting Life-Force Energy

2. The Emotional: Embracing feelings and releasing deep-seeded emotions

3. The Natural: Cultivating our primal and wild self

4. The Inner-Child & Ancestral: Healing primary wounds from birth, early childhood and ancestry

5. The Energetic: Learning our role in the cosmos and channeling our unique gifts

My work is depathologizing, anti-hierarchical, co-creative, intuitive and trauma informed, meaning I value safety and integration.

I am a forever student, always learning and growing from my own journey and the lessons I receive from working with clients. I am grateful to call the Hudson Valley home. I live on the banks of the Shawangunk River with my dog Lady, who assists me enormously in my life’s work.
