Support your journey
You are designed with an innate capacity to heal and know your own resilience. With the right lens, challenging times are a call for transformation, authenticity and the doorway to remember your dreams and life purpose. Transformation is a process and having an ally and skilled guide brings ease on the journey. Together we will look for life patterns you may not perceive from your own perspective.
Free yourself from anxiety, depression and feeling stuck in old beliefs and sensations. Finding freedom is not achieved by just retelling the old story. It involves recognizing how your body has held that story and practicing how it feels to move into your wishes, dreams and flow. Accessing flow is the doorway to connect with your inner guidance and live with greater purpose. This shifts everything and all issues can be placed into perspective.
This practice helps on every level. Each level supports all levels through targeting certain things. Somatic Experience helps complete unexpressed body impulses and generate empowerment. Active imagination and neural retraining address old beliefs and clarify inner vision. Past life and Life Between Lives Regression helps you access your inner wisdom, guidance and greater self compassion.
Whether it is your wish to understand patterns from your immediate history, or those through out time. Choose from a rich menu of experiences to work on many levels. Transform anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep issues, bring misguided energy into alignment or inner journey beyond time. Collaborate with me on an exploration using somatic experiencing, past life regression, life between lives, creative expression, parts work, and neural retraining. Release ancestral patterns, overwhelming events. old beliefs, and liberate the energy to move forward in your life.
My story
My training began in childhood in a challenging environment and search for safety. I found refuge in art, dance, nature and spiritual connection. These were gifts of overwhelming life events. Even though those responses were the wisest choice at the time, I didn't know these overwhelming events were over. I was stuck in old loops and fight, flight, freeze and fawn response. I was not truly embodied. I gave away my power away in exchange of perceived protection. This left me disconnected from myself. I would say 'Yes" when I wanted to say "No." I learned how to take care of others in order to feel safe, and as a result, I became an empath. I know what it's like to be stuck in old time loops and not know an event is over.
Through many years of study of wisdom traditions, inner exploration and training, my internal guidance became strong. I received tools to help others unpack overwhelming life experiences and access a bigger perspective. I am committed to supporting others connect with their essential nature, inner guidance and body intelligence. In turn, they are able to release conditioning, step into greater authenticity and self trust.
In a space of great compassion, I offer a wide range of experiences to help others as the restore regulation and take back their power. These offerings reflect 25 years of clinical experience inspired by my own healing journey. I have helped over 800 people move from being stuck into finding greater joy and life fulfillment.
In addition to seeing others in private practice I offer trainings for therapists, healers, creatives,
