This is me.
I’m a believer in choosing higher-quality thoughts ─ which is ideal because our thinking is magnetic. I’m in generous service to those distracted by pain - from the deeply personal, to physical suffering.
As a somatic therapist, I'm interested in accessing an embodied state more often. Embodiment refers to the state of being fully present and connected to one’s physical body, sensations, emotions, and experiences. I offer tools to calm your nervous system and somatic therapies to help you cultivate this connection. The greater capacity to navigate life’s challenges, the greater capacity we have to embrace the richness of our human experience.
When you heal, we all heal. Collective consciousness for the win!
Why I do what I do.
Our bodies hold incredible wisdom and serve as gateways to our well-being.
As a Certified Rolfer and GYROTONIC® Apprentice, my journey has been driven by a deep desire to facilitate healing and transformation in others. I take a multidimensional look into what’s going on in our psyches, cultures, and physical structures. In my experience, none of us get out of this unscathed by trauma - whether physical, emotional, or psychological. Our traumatic experiences can leave an imprint on our bodies at a cellular level. Stored trauma can manifest in various ways, such as muscular tension, restricted movement, pain, or even changes in posture.
Using somatic therapies, such as Rolfing Structural Integration and the GYROTONIC® Method, I aim to address the entire person and their relationship with their environment. In working with me, you may experience benefits from opening energy pathways, improving posture, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, improving strength and movement efficiency.
Gratitude to the land and those that come before us.
With respect to the land and those who have come before us, I acknowledge that I work on the lands of the Ute, Arapahoe, Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, and Cheyenne People in Boulder County, Colorado.
To note: In most cases, we reside on unceded land, meaning that it was never given, sold, or agreed upon to be shared—the land is unsurrendered. What’s the significance of acknowledging “unceded territory”? Here’s a powerful answer from Verna McGregor, a Canadian Algonquin elder:
“It’s acknowledging that we’re still here, the acknowledgment is important—that we’re worthy of being on our own lands… there is a greater issue than what is going on today. It helps remind people that we are going back centuries in terms of what we’ve done to the Indigenous people—from the reserve system, the residential schools, to today with Indigenous children still being removed from their families at a greater rate than the rest of the population… The acknowledgment puts what’s happening today into a greater perspective to understand historical wrongs and how that’s manifested today. Part of reconciliation is truth and honesty.”
