Welcome to your supportive space
to transform and heal your whole self

 

​Perhaps you’re feeling lonely or anxious, your shoulders feel heavy and your chest tight.

At times, you may even feel as though a sinkhole opens under your feet, leaving you  stuck in a dark space. You might not clearly remember what happened to you, yet you feel “not enough”. Moving through life becomes overwhelming, boundaries feel impossible, and relationships are challenging.

 

Our bodies adapt to survive neglect, abuse, violence, systemic oppression and racism. That comes at a cost.  Underneath is trauma, overwhelming experiences that shatter our innate sense of goodness.

​

Healing is possible, I’ve seen it again and again: Together, we can restore your sense of confidence, and

your capacity to move through life with resilience and ease. The ground begins to feel solid under your feet and your chest feels light.

​

I’m here to support your healing. You can feel yourself again: alive, radiant, and whole.

​

Your new life awaits.
