Somatic Practice

Step into a healing space where your body, identity, and lived experience are honored in full. Rooted in somatic and trauma-informed practice, this work supports you in reconnecting with your body, reclaiming your story, and building the inner resources needed to move through life with greater agency and groundedness.

Sessions are grounded in relational attunement and culturally affirming care, recognizing that healing doesn't happen in isolation, but in relationship: with yourself, with others, and with the natural world. Whether you're navigating the effects of personal or collective trauma, this space holds room for all of who you are.

My form of somatic practice involves using sound, such a tuning forks, and light, such as starlight, to connect you to ancestral guides who support new ways of moving in the world. We may incorporate movement and contact into the session, meaning you may be asked to lay hands on places on your body to connect, such as your head, solar plexus, or lower back. We may slow down our speech to feel into the meaning behind the words we speak, opening doorways for intuition to step through clearly. We may explore how your sensations and emotions relate to one another, and what cues your body is giving you. We may explore how thought patterns show up in your lived experience through creative process, including drawing and authentic movement. Together, we'll explore what strength, creativity, self-determination, and transformation can look and feel like for you in ways that are relevant and meaningful for you.

With over two decades of experience in somatic practice, bodywork, arts & crafts, and ecological ritual, my work lives at the intersection of the personal and the ancestral, grounded in the understanding that when we strengthen our relationships with our own lineages, we gain the support to address and heal from the events that severed so many of our connections to the traditions and wisdom our ancestors carried.
