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. Women are the healers of our world— and healers need healing too. 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.
