For much of my life, I believed my worth was something to be earned through the external world. I learned early on how to embody perfectionism and control my surroundings, setting really high standards for myself. I was a doer, a striver, and an achiever. But behind all of it, I secretly struggled with comparison, fear, and self-doubt.
In adulthood, I had created the life I deeply wanted... yet there was a void. It felt like something was missing. Most days, there was a hum of disconnection and nonfulfillment below the surface. I craved more meaning and connection in my life and I realized—— if not now, then when?
So I began the journey of inner work. I gained insight into my maladaptive stories and behaviors. I began to understand the presence and sources of my deep rooted fears. And while these understandings were truly valuable, I still felt stuck in repetitive patterns. The conceptual knowledge of my experiences wasn’t enough; I needed to shift on a deeper level.
I immersed myself in somatic and embodiment studies— discovering the vital importance of regulating our nervous systems, understanding our subconscious, and fostering safety from within. I was expanding beyond conceptual understandings into true embodiment.
The shifts I began to make created profound ripple effects throughout every area of my life. I wasn’t just healing past trauma and conditioning— I was shifting my way of being.
MY STORY
During the height of COVID, I deepened my commitment to my studies and practices. I knew in my soul there was a need for sacred healing—— that I would not be alone in seeking light within the world. So I bravely trusted and followed my intuition, and after a 10 year career within the hospital system, I left to open my own private practice as a Board Certified Life & Embodiment Nurse Coach.
My practice is deeply sacred, holistic, and unique. I focus on supporting women in reconnecting with their wisdom, body, creativity, and joy. And I believe that creating sacred spaces where we feel safe to explore our experiences is an essential step to all of it.
Connection is a core value for me. Connection to ourselves, each other, our communities, our ancestors, our land, and our stories. It is through connection that we create collective healing.
I also believe in the power of hope and our natural instinct to thrive. I offer transformative strategies that foster mindful embodiment, creativity, authenticity, and courage— honoring the wholeness of who you are: mind, body, and soul.
It is a deep privilege and honor to walk alongside my clients.
My Purpose
SERVICES
I firmly believe that women are the change-makers of our world.
When women rise, when we have access to abundance and resources— those very resources flow into our partnerships, families, communities, and the greater collective.
