Somatic guide
Trauma healing
Sexuality empowerment
Addiction recovery
Confidence & power manifestation
I love helping people embody their true selves, and expressing power in transformation. Together, we will dive deep to explore truth, peace, and wholeness; considering all aspects of body, mind and spirit. In my practice, I help people find confidence and power, recover from trauma and addictions, and come home to their sexuality. I have an enormous capacity to be with suffering, and radical acceptance- every part of you is welcome here.
Healing is never one-size-fits all, and I pull from a variety of different healing practices. I have degrees in both Gender Studies and English, and have worked at nonprofits for unhoused people, group homes and addiction treatment centers in both Portland, Maine and Skid Row, Los Angeles. I’ve organized various wellness groups, including a sex worker advocacy group and a meditation group at a women's prison.
In my own somatic guide practice, I embrace holistic healing, using both ancient and feminist, trauma-informed practices. Some of my favorite highlights from my somatic education are a 4-points medicine wheel course with indigenous Ojibwe medicine woman, Asha Frost; an intimacy education & bodywork course with Caffyn Jesse; and a 21-day cacao and the 4 elements journey with Daniela Pinheiro. I spent six months in Florianopolis, Brazil, otherwise known as “Ilha da Magia,” or Island of Magic, where I was immersed in so many wonderful healing practices, sitting with plant medicine, participating in red tent ceremonies and benzimentos, and learning from amazing people. I also pull from my yoga practice of 13 years, and my love for using food and herbs as medicine.
I honor natural cycles, learning from those who paved the way before me with respect and humility, as well as from my own personal experience. I come from a strict and educated upbringing, yet from a young age, ended up on my own and struggling to survive, as a survivor of childhood abuse and addiction. I am truly grateful for these experiences, because they led me onto a path of devotion to healing myself and later, helping others heal.
My reverence for planet earth is my compass, with the ideology that we have exactly what we need already within us- it just takes guidance to put the puzzle pieces back together. Working together, we will embrace all aspects individually while also taking a look at the bigger picture- what is my spirit doing inhabiting these flesh and bones on this spinning rock in the galaxy- and how can we fully reach and embody that purpose?
