Every moment of my life has led me to this point. Every choice I’ve made, teacher I’ve studied under and influence I’ve digested have fostered how I’ve manifested into being.
Just like your life has for you.

From my child self intuitively self-regulating with movement and nature to a deep need to understand how the world works and human development I studied psychology and then geography in college.

With my forever student mindset in tow and to avoid falling into a life of “victimhood” I dove head first into “healing” after school. I gobbled up training after training, traveling to the top teachers in movement, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation fields. Spending time in therapies, self-inquiry circles, and years of mentorship in ancient wisdom traditions.

I cultivated a robust repertoire of information, practices, and understandings. This too was a strategy to avoid actually being with and accepting myself, although helpful professionally ;)

I’ve devoted my adult life to living with integrity and cultivating a deeply nourishing, purposeful, and fulfilling life.

As a practitioner, I am increasingly interested in helping people transcend the cycle of perpetual healing and build gorgeous, thriving lives while compassionately navigating trauma responses and attachment strategies along the way to freedom.
