Somatic Coaching ~ Ancestral Healing ~ Ritual Baking

I work with people longing to build a deeper connection to their bodies so they can feel more grounded and present in how they show up for themselves, their families and their communities.

HOW I WORK

I work intuitively, bringing curiosity and deep presence to the space I hold with my clients. One aspect of my work is Somatic Experiencing, which is a modality that explores the physical ways our body processes and heals from trauma and other challenging experiences. Also integral to my framework is an understanding that our physical and emotional bodies are shaped by our cultures, family lineages and the systems of oppression within and around us.

It is from this place that I support people to listen and relate to their bodies in new and different ways. I offer tools and resources to accompany people on their journeys to understanding and trusting the unique language of their bodies.

OFFERINGS

I offer one-on-one sessions, online and in person. My work can be short term over a few sessions or used as a longer term resource for people over many years in their embodied learning and growth. I also offer educational workshops in addition to small group facilitation to support team building. Please reach out if you are interested in more information about working together.

MY WORK HAS HELPED PEOPLE:

  • Develop clarity on important life decisions

  • Move through places of repetitive ‘stuckness’ 

  • Increase capacity to be with difficult experiences and emotions 

  • Cultivate and stay connected to a sense of self-trust and presence

  • Understand identities of privilege and develop clarity around showing up as an accomplice in social justice movements

  • Strengthen self-trust for people who hold non-dominant/marginalized identities

  • Awaken access to joy and experiences of delight

  • Tend to and move through experiences of grief and loss both individual and collective

  • Increase of an overall sense of ease in body and a decrease of anxiety

  • Discover possibilities around career change and living in alignment with one’s path or purpose

  • Identify energies that are no longer serving and support to release them

  • Uncover gifts connected to experiences of energetic sensitivity

  • Find and cultivate threads of ancestral connection and guidance

HOW I RELATE TO THIS WORK

I work intuitively. I hold a lens that encompasses ancestral and lineage healing, as well as healing of past life experiences. I believe our embodied experiences are not separate from what happens around us collectively and historically. Deep attunement and attention to our bodies can offer us space for new experiences to emerge.

My work is in service of increasing our capacity as individuals and communities to be present with what is unfolding collectively during this time- climate collapse, late stage capitalism, state sanctioned violence and systemic racism - and more - while supporting growing expressions and capacity for visioning and living into new possibilities. As Vanessa Andreotti says, “to make new mistakes.”

I believe in the power of one-on-one healing spaces as a piece of broader collective work. I approach this work humbly, in ongoing learning and aim to be just one piece of the web.
