Do you find yourself on a threshold, longing for more?

How I Work

I support individuals to come home to themselves and tend to what makes them come alive through embodiment and soul-aligned living.

Do you yearn for new possibilities, only to be trapped in old patterns?

Do you feel in a never-ending pattern of tending to pain, and wonder if there is more for you?

Do you have moments of breakthrough, only to go back to painful and limiting patterns?

Healing work clears out what holds us back - but focusing only on what is wrong can feel pathologizing. To become whole, we also must tend to what makes us come alive.

The healing part of our work is developing inner safety, nurturing unconditional, holistic self-acceptance of the self. We know this does not happen just by talking but tending to what the body is communicating. As we develop more safety in the body, we can also gain capacity to open to more difficult parts of us – the rage, the grief, the sadness, the jealousy – and listen to what they have to teach us.

Through practice, we can nurture a felt sense of homecoming in the body. AND - your whole story is not the worst thing that happened to you. Your story is also what makes you come alive.

Becoming who we are called to be is an emergent process. I blend somatic informed practices with soul tending: Noticing what makes us come alive. I ground my work in feminine approaches: tending to connection, intuition, mystery, desire and pleasure.

Go to the Limits of Your Longing

Listen
God speaks to each of us as he makes us,
then walks with us silently out of the night.
These are the words we dimly hear:
You, sent out beyond your recall,
go to the limits of your longing.

Embody me.
Flare up like a flame
and make big shadows I can move in.
Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
Just keep going. No feeling is final.
Don’t let yourself lose me.
Nearby is the country they call life.
You will know it by its seriousness.
Give me your hand.
