I had the fantastic blessing of growing up in a household where there was a genuine curiosity about the nature of human experience.  Consciousness, meditation, spirituality and the human energy field were all topics of conversation.  That grounding and curiosity naturally lead me through a Master’s degree in dance and teaching, a Master’s in Expressive Arts Therapy, and many trainings and certifications in energetic and spiritual healing and counseling. I tailored all of those curriculums to emphasize the body as a means to contact and express our vast inner knowledge. (The body/heart and FEELING, versus the mind/thoughts and intellect.) All my studies provided me with a deep understanding of energy, how to be with it so that it can move naturally, as it truly wants to do.   This is relief. This is freedom – to realize there is no need to fight any feeling.  Energies, emotions are just moving through – if we let them.   There is a larger field of intelligence. You and your body are that too.

I also had some great challenges growing up. Deeply dysfunctional eating, food obsessions, shame, hyper criticism, worry, lack and scarcity, anxiety, repetitive negative thinking, victim orientation, and addictions were all themes that I and many of my family members lived with. These challenges turned out to be extraordinary invitations to deepen my connection to the inner wisdom that we all have. My journey with these challenges is leading me to feel true peace and wellbeing, regardless of circumstances. I share this to let you know that I have a deep, bodily-felt knowledge of the full spectrum of human experience.  Whatever you’ve got going on – from bliss to the darkest states of mind – it’s all welcome and I can relate to you.  My work is grounded in my own real-life explorations, a profound understanding of what causes suffering and what alleviates it and the practical application of that understanding.  My work is also grounded in the awareness that we ourselves ARE Wellbeing. We are energy. We are healthy movement of Life.  What I have learned along the way has helped me to feel so much less anxiety, so much more inner peace, and it has helped me not to traumatize myself with my own thinking!  I’d love to share what I’ve learned, because it might help you, too.  I also want to share with you because I love that we get to go through life experiencing it together. This is one of the fundamental joys of being human. We get to be uniquely ourselves, appreciate that in others and celebrate how good it feels to co journey.

I’ve been coaching individuals and couple and teaching classes in personal growth and spirituality since 2005.  I know that it is what I am naturally built to do and I am smiling as I think about it!  I love this conversation about the nature of who and what we really are. I love helping to move us out of our heads and into LIFE through the body.  All of my offerings aim to help me and you to lighten up, and to take things less seriously and more joyfully. Please reach out and contact me if you have any questions. I’d sincerely love to hear from you.
