I am an intuitive, powerful, heart-led, high performance coach with the skills of a trauma-informed somatic therapist and the freedom to practice outside of the constraints and norms of the box of therapy.

I am not your therapist. I have all of the tools, knowledge, and skills of an excellent somatic therapist and the freedom of someone who is not afraid to tell you how it is. I am not here to baby you or talk in circles about how your childhood has messed you up. Yes it has. And you are here, ready to change that. It is possible to walk through life without the heaviness and it is possible to do that without years of therapy. You can clear the blockages that have held you back from the life you want to live for years in a matter of one day. I know this to be true because I have done it for myself and walked many through the process.

From a young age, I knew I had the innate ability to make others feel at ease. At family gatherings, I would walk up to my friend’s parents and ask if they wanted a massage. After a few minutes of working their shoulders, I would hold out my hand and say, “that will be five dollars, please!” Not the most strategic business tactic, but as a cute 6 year old kid, it worked for me. Needless to say, I enjoyed using my hands to give people a moment of release. I did not know it at the time, but my path as a healer would continue.

As I began to get serious about what I wanted to do with my life, I asked myself what am I drawn to? I have and always will follow my heart-brain and sacral-brain as my guidance for living life. When I discovered dance/movement therapy and somatics as an undergrad, I was immediately hooked. I unlocked a version of myself I had hidden for so many years. I am a dancer, but before that class I would have never identified as one. I did not have formal dance training, so who was I to call myself a dancer? The answer is who am I not to! I decide who I am and there are no qualifications or requirements to being a dancer, just dance! So, I rediscovered myself as a dancer and became captivated by the unique healing that tuning into the body’s movement provides.

With somatics, I felt like I found the key to life and knew I had to share it with others. I did not yet know what form that would take, but I trusted the next step on the path and chose a graduate program that called to me. I received an education that gave me access to the somatic skills I use to process trauma with clients.

Now, I offer 1 on 1 coaching for people who are ready to break out of their boxes. This is theraputic, however it is not therapy. I have the skills of a therapist, but I am not interested in doing therapy with you. If you want real change, working in this way gives me the freedom to really get you there in ways that I cannot if I am working as your therapist.

When I got real with myself this past year, I knew I had to change things. I did not want to become a therapist, although I was in a graduate program for body psychotherapy. I felt constrained by the role of the therapist and it just did not feel right, ever. Once I fully accepted that I am a coach and this is what I want to do, what I genuinly LOVE to do, my client relationships and personal relationships immediately changed. I felt FREE. That is the power of owning your truth. With support, I stepped into a whole new me: a me that was lying dormant waiting for me to tap into. This me is committed like never before, determine to fulfill her dreams and destiny and caring for people with unbounded energy. When I do this work I am SO ALIVE. I am EMBODIED, free, clear, and REAL. I have the energy of someone who is on drugs because I am living my joy through every moment. Now, that is not to say that I do not experience challenges and difficult emotions, of course I do. But I have tapped into a place in myself that is constant, stable, connected, flowing endlessly with wisdom and capability that I know I can connect to at any moment.

I do not claim to have all the answers and I especially do not have your unique answers, but I do know that you are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for and living the lie that “you can’t” is bs that I want to release you from.
