Offerings

  • Workshops and retreats are offered in small groups as a way to cultivate self-reverence. Every small group engagement includes movement arts (including theater arts), contemplative somatic practices, and writing as tools to engage in the somatic journey.

  • Somatic Experiencing is a powerful tool for individuals who have experienced trauma. By focusing on the physical sensations of the body, this therapy helps in releasing and healing from past experiences. I am certified to offer you individualized trauma healing session. This is offered virtually.

  • I accompany you on the journey of longing and wonderment, and give you the resources to access your own inner wisdom, help you find the courage to release what blocks you, and move toward a new and truer life path. It is offered in a virtual setting.
