It’s time to really meet yourself
All healing begins with awareness and nervous system felt safety. Let me guide you so you can finally soften into a kinder, compassionate way of relating with you.
Strengthen your relationships
Healthy relationships require each person to be connected to themselves and with each other. Let me support you and your partner in cultivating real, grounded intimacy, so that together you can build something that lasts.
Parent from a place of wholeness
Caregiving brings us to our edges. I hold a nervous-system-informed frame that will move you out of fear and back into compassion, reminding you that we are all doing the best we can.
Feel at home in your skin
Navigate your seasons of identity and unique neurotype with curiosity rather than judgment. Make peace with the natural evolution of your embodied being, while honoring what feels lost or changed in the process.
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
—Mary Oliver
