Conscious Dance

At the heart of my work is a deep trust in the human capacity for freedom, wholeness, and wisdom. The life you long for is possible—and by reading these words, you’re already inviting it closer. It would be my honor to walk beside you on that journey.

I'll tell you right now, the doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door  
--Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Relationship Resilience Coaching

The state of your relationship reflects the relationship you have with yourself. By healing your attachment system, building self-worth, and learning to set loving boundaries, you create the foundation for deeper connection. My coaching program is designed to help you heal relationship struggles at their root and grow the love you long for.

Somatic Therapy

Healing happens through attuned, embodied, and relational presence. I bring grounded, nervous-system-aware support that meets you where you are.  My trauma-informed style is somatic & holistic, which means I help you listen to your body’s intelligence & rediscover your capacity for regulation & emotional truth while honoring that wise, soulful part of you.

Conscious Dance

Conscious Dance is both personal and collective medicine. It helps us move through emotions, discover insight, and return to the wisdom of the body. In dancing together, we reclaim the embodied experiences our culture has long denied—and in doing so, we heal ourselves and each other.
