About
Resiliency is an inside job. Together, we work to discharge or downgrade the effects of unresolved grief, stress, and trauma — while exploring the regenerative tools that make for an inspired life. There’s no one-size-fits-all here; each of us is drawn to a unique combination of somatic, psycho-spiritual, and cognitive strategies.
Whatever crossroads you find yourself at, resilience is something you can learn and build. I’m honored to share what I’ve gleaned and practiced with people just like you — forearm-deep in the rich compost of our lives.
Scientific and medical research over the past 25 years has confirmed what healers have known for millennia: our physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being are intrinsically connected. We now know that trauma, chronic stress, and even relatively benign daily toxicity can change our DNA, wear down our synaptic connections, bathe our tissues in a cortisol cocktail, and cause systemic inflammation — in short, make us feel on edge, inconsolably sad, or unsuccessful despite our best efforts.
Had we known then what we know now about how chronic stress and trauma work, perhaps my own family would have had more access to the kind of healing practices that could have eased their lifelong anguish and early deaths.
None of this means you’re stuck!
Neither your genetics nor your early environment fully predicts how you’ll meet the curveballs life is guaranteed to throw. What the science does suggest is that healing goes further when it integrates who you are and where you come from. And because the trauma didn’t begin with you, you alone can’t be expected to resolve it. We heal in community.
My own life is proof of that. I never thought I’d make it to 30. But discovering yoga and writing in my late twenties — and continuing to immerse myself in modalities like biofeedback, coaching, Reiki, Polarity Therapy, and Shamanism — helped me grow more resilient with each passing year. It hasn’t always been an easy ride. But I’ve built a life that is extraordinarily meaningful, and that energizes me to share what I’ve learned with others.
How I Work
Every practice I offer is integrative — speaking to your whole being: how you feel in your own skin, how you see yourself and your possibilities within your chosen families and communities, and how connected you feel to the natural world and your own creative essence. These practices let you be who you are — not just a condition to treat or a situation to solve.
If you’re looking to be more resilient in the face of a transition in your life, let’s work together so that your life — and God willing your neural pathways — will begin to shift.
