Philosophy
My wish for each of us is to find true presence.
In true presence, we are no longer reacting to life but responding. We are no longer living in the past, seeing every situation through the lens of an old wound or long ago hurt. We are able to see reality more clearly and are able to make decisions based in love, spontaneity, and joy, instead of defensiveness, old wounds and projections. In true presence, we can begin again at every moment. We can choose love and beauty and peace right now. And now. And now. No matter what came before.
​
In our work together, we heal old traumas by gently going into them and feeling them -- unblocking the old, stuck energy so it can flow freely. We unwind the old stories that held the blocked energy in place. The young parts of us that are holding old burdens or defending us unnecessarily are freed from their roles. Our higher selves come on line and begin to guide us.
​
Through meditation, somatic therapies, and Internal Family Systems, we rewire your nervous system to a place of calm. With a calm nervous system, the world doesn't look so frightening. The darkness feels more sacred than scary. It no longer runs our lives.
​
Transformational Coaching
I work along two paths: the personal and the transpersonal. I offer somatic therapies and Internal Family Systems work that lead you to a deeper awareness of your own psyche, allowing you to see the unconscious processes that make up your personality. We work with them to find their origins and to rewire them.
​
I also offer a psychospritual education to help you navigate the terrain, including the teachings of wisdom traditions and my own studies in the transpersonal realm.
In Internal Family Systems, in which I hold a Level 2 Certification, we turn towards our inner experience with compassion again and again, until all the "parts" of us feel seen and heard and witnessed. As we work to understand them and their roles and burdens, they loosen their grip, allow us more access to our true Self.
From this place, thoughts and beliefs are no longer running our life. We have more spaciousness and more access to pure presence, pure consciousness. From here, we make decisions aligned with our highest good and the highest good for all. ​

​
Mystical Healing
We work with Internal Family Systems and meditation to guide you through both the transpersonal realms and your own subconscious. ​
​
As you develop a relationship with your own subconscious, a deeper understanding of both your own psyche and the greater cosmos emerges. Your own inner healer begins to awaken, and a deeper connection with yourself and others forms. We identify less with our thoughts and more with our feelings and our hearts. And the vast ocean of consciousness that is our True Nature. We begin to feel the interconnectedness of all things. The mystical teachings of the sages are not just words on a page, but our lived experience.
​​
Eventually an ease in traversing these mysterious realms grows, and we find that instead of unconsciously creating our reality, and being a victim to it, we are now consciously creating our lives, with great beauty, reverence and knowledge. ​

Ceremony & Ritual
I work with ceremony and ritual to connect us back to our own wisdom, and back to the Earth itself. Steeped in the teachings of shamanic healing, I offer grounding rituals, honoring rituals, cord-cutting ceremony, soul retrieval, and work with animal and Spirit guides.
I offer ceremony to the ancestors and ceremony on the land. Simple, self-designed rituals that bring us back to ourselves and place us in the larger context of the cosmos. We work with the moon to guide us into periods of introspection or activity. We get very still and quiet so we can begin to hear the innermost parts of ourselves and begin to trust that wisdom. Instead of mindlessly "doing," we learn to ask for guidance from our intuition, our own knowing, and the forces of the universe. We listen deeply. We follow signs.
We refine and rework, stepping on the path as it rises to meet us. We offer the work we do in the world so that it may be in right relation to all. In this way, we prepare ourselves to become what we wish to create in the world.
May it be so.

About
My healing path began in an effort to heal myself from a decades-long struggle with anxiety and depression. After years of being on and off various psychotropic medications, I finally gave up and began seeking help from the natural world. In 2015, I started working with various healers in a ceremonial context and experienced the vast intelligence the natural world offers.
​
Eventually I began to return to a state of peace and began a deep exploration into my own psyche and the true nature of consciousness. I began working with meditation and contemplation, exploring the teachings of mystics and wisdom traditions. At the same time I studied and experienced personally various therapeutic modalities including Internal Family Systems, in which I hold a Level 2 certification. I also looked to indigenous teachings: apprenticing to soul work through Vision Quests and land-based practices, studying shamanism with with Rose Khalsa, and sitting in deep meditation with the moon and the mountain.
​
I bring humility and humor, honesty and compassion, skill and and curiosity to my work with clients. It is my great honor to work with you in this way.
