BODYWORK

​

​My bodywork journey began in 2018 when I traveled to Thailand and studied Chi Nei Tsang (taoist abdominal massage) at the Tao Center. I wanted to better understand modalities to support digestive health and the gut-brain connection. My interest in massage eventually led me to obtain my license in 2020 after attending the Medical Massage program at AB Tech. In my time as a therapist, I’ve developed a strong skill for deep tissue and trigger point work, as well as soothing swedish massage flow. My north star lately is in deepening my study of CranioSacral therapy (levels 1 &2) through the Upledger Institute. This gentle modality has profound results and I always enjoy incorporating these techniques whenever possible, or offering a full CranioSacral session when it’s desired. I’m fascinated with the mind-body connection, and how we can follow the pathways in the body to release blockages and better understand ourselves. Other trainings have included Thai Massage and Myofascial Release. I can blend modalities, or focus on one or two, depending on the client’s needs. My philosophy for touch ultimately comes down to presence. I believe presence is the most important gift we can offer people in a therapeutic space. ​

COACHING

​

I have been coaching for the last 8 years spanning a range of nutrition and wellness, holistic lifestyle embodiment, emotional support, and couples coaching. In choosing coaching over becoming a licensed therapist, I have more flexibility and freedom to work co-creatively with my clients to create a session that is uniquely attuned to their needs. 

​

Somatic life coaching is an integrative approach to therapeutic coaching that invites a deeper connection with the body's wisdom. 

​

In our time together we will explore ways to improve your quality of life, support transformation and healing, and increase overall vitality and wellbeing. 

​

Topics include:

​

- Mindfulness training
- Relationship support (attachment theory, communication skills, clarifying intentions)
- "Parts" work (a creative technique that helps get to the root of challenges by contacting different "parts" of our system.)
- Somatic awareness (getting in touch with the body's wisdom)
- Holistic lifestyle support (diet, sleep, exercise, lifestyle)​

 

RELATIONSHIP SUPPORT 

​

Through the mirror of relating we are often shown our deepest wounds, and our deepest radiance. Doing the work of showing up for relating with a willing and open heart to heal and grow through whatever comes up can be challenging work and is often supported through the more-objective lense of a neutral and compassionate support system.

​

In working with individuals I support people in finding more clarity around their desires in relationship, how to develop secure attachment, how to understand their attachment system and work with it, and how to observe how various "parts" are responding and reacting in the space of relationship.

​

In working with couples I offer conflict resolution support, help equip people with communication tools that allow them to work through conflict with greater ease, and support couples in coming into a safe space of vulnerability so that deeper healing and connection can be experienced.​
