principles
of my practice

​In all my work, I integrate top-down as well as bottom-up approaches, so that we can rewire chronic pain patterns, trauma responses,  and long-held tensions, as well as unwind acute shock or injury to promote a smooth recovery. I blend a comprehensive knowledge of anatomy, neuroscience, and physiology, with energy medicine, ceremony, and ritual.​ 

​

Am I a licensed psycho-therapist? No. But many of my clients have expressed that my approach has helped them more than years of traditional talk therapy. I believe this is because of my foundational background in holding space, a continual practice of allowing folks to be with their emotions and thoughts in a way that allows them to fully process, as opposed to trying to fix their issues or give advice, which disrupts their agency. Holding space, combined with an trauma-informed, body-based processing, supports the entire system to come back to coherence in a holistic way.

​​

My practice cultivates agency, empowerment, and autonomy in each being. Through learning how to do the inner work of cultivating radical acceptance, as well as prioritizing rest and recovery within systems that promote achievement, scarcity, and disconnection, we can start to shift the overall well-being of our communities. Trauma and injury happen and sustain, because we do not have support, rest, and care. When we take the time to tend to our bodies, minds, and spirits, we can start to change those conditions that disconnect us from ourselves.

I specialize in chronic pain and trauma (pre-natal, birth, developmental, attachment, ancestral, shock), and acute injury, surgery pre-post op. I see  one-on-one, families, couples, babies, birthing parents/moms, horses/equines, and sometimes canines and felines :)
