"Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness."
Peter Levine

I am a C-IAYT, Certified Yoga Therapist, SEP (Somatic Experiencing Practitioner), Author, Trauma Survivor and Cancer Thriver.

I am a lifelong learner with recent studies focused on trauma healing and sensory and reflex integration. I infuse my studies along with the wisdom of my own "lived experience" in my work. 

Trainings include:

• Somatic Experiencing developed by Peter Levine

• Somatic Resilience and Regulation with Kathy Kain and Stephen Terrell.

• Touch Skills for Trauma Therapists with Kathy Kain.

• Neuroaffective Touch with Aline LaPierre

• Brain and Sensory Foundations with Sonia Story. 

My life's work is dedicated to supporting others in their path towards healing. I grew up in the mountains of Montana. Nature was and still is my greatest resource. I infuse the elements of nature in my sessions along with yoga, somatic and embodiment practices and somatic touch to help facilitate healing. I am deeply drawn to working with those who have experienced trauma, grief and loss, cancer diagnosis and treatment, autoimmune conditions, neurodivergence, disability, eating disorders and those who are working towards healing their inner child wounds. I also specialize in spinal health and supporting those who are experiencing back pain and working with children and teens.

I believe we all have an innate ability to not only survive, but thrive, following life's struggles and challenges. Healing happens in the presence of an empathic witness. It is my greatest honor to serve as an empathic witness to those who are seeking healing.
