I’m a Trauma + Stress Resolution Specialist and Resilience Trainer, focusing on nervous system regulation, attachment repair and trauma + stress resolution that centers the body.

Through Somatic Experiencing® and Dynamic Attachment Re-Patterning experience®, I support my clients towards ending cycles of feeling stuck and re-discovering the joy, aliveness and ease that is our human heritage.

The painful things we carry are waiting to unravel and reveal themselves— to be integrated.

When we integrate what is coming forth, new-found energy is revealed and a profound sense of safety is re-established.

With a sense of safety, our relationships and sense of interconnection can thrive.

Everything I offer are insights through my own healing journey, guided mentorship, and training. This includes ongoing personal mentorship and consultation with Somatic Experiencing International faculty member, Debra Clydesdale LAC DNBAO SEP CMT CDS, to whom I offer deep gratitude.

It also includes ongoing personal Dharma mentorship through my teacher, Rodney Smith, to whom I bow deeply for guidance into the Essence of life.

Gratitude to my lineage, and the innumerable beings that have touched my life.
