No. While my work is trauma-informed and can feel deeply therapeutic, I am not providing psychotherapy or medical treatment.

What I offer is somatic, energetic, and spiritual support that works alongside therapy or other care you may already have. Many clients come to me after years of talk therapy and are ready for a more body-based, integrative approach.

Somatic work involves listening to and working with the body’s sensations, impulses, and patterns rather than relying only on thinking or talking. Energetic work addresses the subtle layers of your system. The emotional, intuitive, and spiritual realm that affects our physical reality and nervous system. The space where patterns, beliefs, and experiences are also held. Sessions often weave both, depending on what your system is ready for.

Somatic bodywork, somatic coaching, and somatic art and movement are very effective for moving stuck energy and emotions that would otherwise be missed in traditional talk therapy because so many of our experiences of CPTSD and trauma are preverbal and actually inhibited from being expressed due to our minds getting in the way with stories and reasoning. It also effectively grounds the energy healing and spirit work that we do into your lived, embodied reality.

Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) is trauma that occurs repeatedly over the course of many years usually, and is different from PTSD in that it is not due to one big T trauma event. It often begins in childhood and shapes our relationship dynamics, brain development, emotional maturity, and more. It is very common with most people I work with. Healing from CPTSD looks different for everyone, but I highly recommend starting with a great trauma-informed IFS therapist and somatic work.

Many people come to me after years of therapy, coaching, or other healing work and feel they’ve gained insight but still feel stuck, disconnected, or in survival mode.

All of you is taken into account to address your healing on physical, emotional, and energetic levels to honor your wholeness, rather than hyper-focusing on symptoms.

Your ancestral lineage, your upbringing, culture, spirituality, and identity are not ignored, but rather viewed as inherently woven into the tapestry of our work together, because they shape how you move through the world.

I work primarily with women and nonbinary folks who are comfortable in women-centered spaces and who feel called to deepen their connection to their bodies, intuition, and inner authority. I also have male-identifying clients who fall into this category, but it is usually less common.

I don’t exclusively work with BIPOC and the global majority, but many find that working with me is affirming because I aim to take into account your cultural heritage, your language(s), your mixedness and your unique experiences based on your cultural and racial identity.

Many of my clients are artists, healers, therapists, entrepreneurs, and caregivers who have already done significant personal growth work and are ready to be met in the next level of their evolution.

I am open to working with men and male-identifying folks who are allies to the demographics that I work with.

This work is not a fit for…

• Those seeking quick fixes, one-off sessions without interest in deeper integration, or for people who want to be told what to do.

• I also do not work with people who are in acute crisis or who are currently experiencing severe mental health, medical, housing, or substance-related emergencies. I can refer you to qualified professionals to help with the above crises.

• People who do not believe in the full humanity of all beings and their inherent right to dignity, safety, and respect, regardless of race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, and abilities. 

• People who are content with the status quo of toxic patriarchy, capitalism, and colonialism and uninterested in discovering ways of breaking free of them

• People who are not ready to take accountability and explore new perspectives and narratives

You don’t need blind belief, but openness and curiosity go a long way. If you feel strongly resistant to the idea of a higher consciousness, intuition, or subtle energy, some aspects of this work, particularly ThetaHealing, may not feel supportive right now.

You don’t need to have everything figured out. Readiness often looks like curiosity, willingness, and a sense that something is shifting. If you’re unsure, we can explore that together before committing.

We begin by orienting to what you’re experiencing and what you’re hoping for. From there, we follow your body’s guidance. Sessions may involve breathwork, gentle movement, guided imagery, energy work, touch (for in-person sessions), or quiet integration. The first session is about establishing trust, safety, and learning how to work together. No two sessions are the same.

Emotional release in the form of crying, sweating, vocalization, and movement are all normal and welcome, but never forced or expected. Experiences range from subtle shifts to deeper emotional expression. We stay oriented to safety, choice, and titration, so as not to retraumatize you.

No. Some sessions involve more dialogue, while others are quieter and more experiential. We follow what feels supportive and appropriate for you.

Yes. If you are comfortable with and wanting hands on bodywork, and gentle, therapeutic touch in addition to the energy and somatic work that we do, I am happy to provide that.

I have mostly moved away from massage-only sessions because I don’t find them to be the best use of my expertise.

Absolutely. Consent and agency are central to my work as a trauma-informed practitioner. You are always welcome to pause, ask questions, shift direction, or change your mind at any time. We always want all your parts to be on board with what we are doing.

Yes, but I prioritize working together over a series of sessions, as this allows for deeper integration and more lasting change. This work builds over time and is most supportive when there’s continuity. When you commit to working with me over a series of sessions, the cost per session decreases and you benefit more as you receive regular care.

This varies widely, so I have three different package options to choose from once you decide to work with me regularly. Some clients work with me weekly for a few months during a specific transition or to overcome a particular pattern or issue, and then return monthly for maintenance sessions. Others will work with me monthly for a 6 months or longer as they navigate life changes, work towards a specific goal, etc. We can talk about what feels aligned for you.

I am especially passionate about and experienced with working with physical manifestations of trauma and stress like…

There are many ways to practice healing your lineage. I believe that our bodies are altars to our ancestors, so nurturing and tending to our bodies is a form of ancestral honoring.

Every time we heal something in ourselves on an energetic level, we heal something in our lineage.

I aim to help people to connect to the spirits of the land they live on and also the lands their ancestors are from, so that they can feel grounded and rooted, and because we are often unconsciously carrying for our ancestors and family, even if they were from generations before we were born.

I use Family Constellations and ThetaHealing techniques to clear beliefs, contracts, oaths, vows, commitments , agreements, and more from the generational level and to facilitate healing for the family system through the recognition and acknowledgment of patterns, hurt, harm, etc.

Ancestral work is for everyone, but I am especially passionate about working with folks who have been disconnected from their ancestral lands and lineages due to colonialism, forced migration, etc.

People of the global majority, BIPOC, and mixed folks are often drawn to working with me because I look at how our ancestral cultures, beliefs, and history shape our somas, our inherited traumas and gifts, and more.

Whenever there are early deaths, abortions, miscarriages, stillborns, adoptions, and missing people from the family system, doing ancestral healing work is especially beneficial for resolving issues and patterns that are playing out in the system.
