The Path to Embodiment
My approach
As a Somatic Practitioner, my goal is to “teach you how to fish”, so that you are empowered to implement the tools of nervous system regulation and resiliency into an independent life. I focus on educating my clients so that they can feel confident in understanding how to be with their mind-body system.
Sessions are built on the foundation of meeting you where you are at, with the goal of building your capacity to feel, befriending your sensations, and supporting the body in processing trauma energy. This is done by assessing the current state of your nervous system, exploring the best approach for you, and compassionately inquiring into different sensations, parts, and beliefs that allow for further resolution.
Education and Training:
Somatic Experiencing (SEP in Training)

I began my healing journey in 2016, exploring various modalities such as talk therapy, EMDR, brain spotting, transformational breathwork, and some psychedelics. Even after all this inner work, I was still dealing with dysregulating symptoms I could not understand.
In search of answers, I travelled to Peru to partake in a number of ayahuasca ceremonies. I was not prepared for how my life was about to turn upside down. Ayahuasca resurfaced suppressed trauma in a manner that was far too intense for my nervous system, and overall retraumatizing.
After my final ceremony, I knew I had gone too far. For about 2 and a half years afterward, I teetered on the edge of psychosis with continuous symptoms of terror, confusion, dissociation, intrusive thoughts, shame, self-sabotaging thoughtforms, and a fear I was broken forever.
Not only was I processing my original trauma at a pace I did not have the capacity for, but I was also navigating the retraumatizing experiences of ayahuasca.
Thankfully, I found therapy that worked through a Somatic lens, and was able to make sense of my sensations through a grounding, biological, nervous system perspective. I acquired the tools and support to come back to center, and was able to process the debilitating affects of my trauma; regaining a sense of peace and of my Self.
This inspired me to get trained in the modalities that were successful for me so that I could help others who have also experienced the unease, fear, and separation that can come with healing the past.
Even though my journey has held some difficulties, I am grateful to now be in a position to support others in navigating the path to feeling at home in their bodies.
