About Me:

I have always leaned into action, achievement, complexity, and our awe-inspiring, limitless somatic kaleidoscope. The discipline I developed, Somatic Dialogue and Release, came about 20 years ago as a culmination of overcoming a life threatening illness, a destructive upbringing, and my continuing awe with the complexity of CranioSacral work. As a young bodyworker, I saw people vulnerably share their frustrations, working to grasp the internal tripwires recreating unwanted patterns in their lives. It led me into my Life and Organizations and Relationships Coaching credential, where I gained an understanding of how and why humans move towards the light, alongside learning how to listen and direct action. Overcoming a life threatening illness in my late 20s was a portal into understanding the complex world of creating internal alignment. With the help of an intuitive energy healer and bodyworker, I became able to eat food, exercise, and sleep again, and live symptom free. Over time, I was able to disentangle the harmful imprints from within my body and psyche and chart a life from what's authentically mine. The energy once required for survival and protection became available for creation. I apprenticed with this same healer, credentialed in different schools of Cranio Sacral and Life Coaching, developed Somatic Dialogue and Release, and gave birth to my practice 21 year ago. 70% of my clients are navigating the final stages of a much longer journey, and 30% are ambitious individuals towards the beginning of disentangling survival adaptations and harmful imprints, cutting the statue from behind the marble.

‍ ‍How I Work with My Clients:

Somatic Dialogue and Release is a discipline I developed to identify and resolve hidden organizing structures that remain long after the original circumstances have passed. Through a combination of hands-on assessment, intuitive perception, and somatic listening, and pattern mapping, I find where unresolved influences remain active in the system. Once revealed, these patterns can be uncoupled from authentic identity and native signal, released from the body, and recalibrated so that outcomes become aligned with intent.

I work particularly well with high achieving individuals with a mission in the world. Individuals whose primary survival strategy has been action and achievement. People who became highly effective in the world despite the burden of their original circumstance.

I create resolution for the following issues:

• Relational dysfunction that seems to happen outside your will, such as repeating dynamics. Difficulty allowing intimate connection is included here.
• Perceptual distortions such as not seeing the truth about people, good or bad.
• Persistent emotional states you could seriously do without.
• Behaviors you want to stop doing that are not addictions.
• Defeating patterns you’ve tried to change.
• Blocks around your creative passions.
• Fear of visibility issues that persist long after you’ve started playing big.
