About Me
"When a man has learnt within his heart what fear and trembling mean, he is safeguarded against any terror produced by outside influences."Â Â
The above quote from the Chinese I Ching Oracle describes a "felt" core revelation that I have had and its actualization is the red thread I am following.
My own journey began feeling confused, lost and disconnected from my own body. There has been a shift to more clarity and empowerment through connecting with my intuition and working with my mind. It continues to be a humbling process. I realize that we were born into a broken system and that we are learning to re-connect again. With ourselves, Gaia, each other and the rest of the Universe.Â
My experience has shown me that working with the body through attuned and tissue-honoring touch, as well as adopting body-based practices are powerful ingredients of the transformation of our (safety) patterns and how we relate to ourselves and others.
Many pieces keep revealing themselves to me (Core Energetics, Feldenkrais, Quantum Hypnosis, the Effects of Trauma and Abuse, Systems Thinking, Nutrition and Gut-Brain Connection, Nervous System Care and Carl Jung's Cognitive Functions) as sparks of a Mandala of embodiment and thriving.

These sparks and soul pieces and my natural sensitivity flow into guiding and empowering you as an ally.
I draw from a diverse background (American Studies, Intercultural Communication, Early Childhood Development, Yoga Nidra, Trauma Counseling, Health and Nutrition Counseling, Somatic Bodywork).
However, my personal experiences have been the primary form of my training - the revelations, skills and insights I have been re-claiming through my own process, my experience working with others and trusting what I *see* and *hear* intuitively. It's what I feel most enabled by in my ability to respond to the spoken and unspoken needs of those who seek me out.Â
My passion and ever-evolving process is embodying the laws of nature and deepen my connection with the living matrix (fascia) inside to invite all realms of experience to integrate and whole-heartedly call this human body home. To offer and receive gentle impulses in a safe container to create space for energy to flow and for the body, mind and soul to dance.
