Hello, Friend!

💫—take a deep breath, you’ve landed in a space that honors your body and your becoming. Here, I share reflections, somatic practices, and gentle guidance to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and navigate life with more ease.

Schedule with me.

Welcome to September. This is my “grief week.” It’s the time that I spend a lot of time in reflection as it’s the anniversary of a lot of big events for me.

This year has been one of the roughest as I’ve been going through some new health complications. I’ve been unclear how to talk about it or share what I’ve been through. An in-person conversation is better. But the long story short is, I’m okay and I have a new set of ways to manage that which are both complicated and becoming easier for me.

Somatic Mind Body Coaching

It’s been a real delight to move into this space. The people I’ve worked with has given a lot of beautiful feedback like this one:

“Such a powerful yet simple session. Looking forward to the next one.”

If you’ve been seeing my socials (follow me there), you’ll see that I’m releasing a podcast really soon. I’ve been building it all by myself which is incredibly satisfying but mostly frustrating. (hah!)

Here I’m discussing barefoot massage education and safe learning spaces for continuing education. A new podcast is coming and it will cover this and many other topics. Woven: Soft Edges, Deep Roots #wovenpodcast

Along with the podcast, I will also be introducing a super cool idea that I’ve been dreaming about for 5+ years.. My students have heard me talk about it for a long time. I can’t wait to share it with you. Get Excited!!!

The kids in school and the impending fall season, I’ve been a busy little bee with some cool updates like a website refresh, more education, and another way to interact with my work.

A new kind of book club is coming.

It’s not your average ‘read a book then come talk about it.’ Nope. This is a living, breathing community building, in the moment, exploration.

You don’t have to be married or want to get married. This is about how we as people get together. I’ve been a student of Stephens for a long time and this is a much awaited book.

Read the book with me.
