Welcome

I am here to help you heal, grow and inhabit your life in more meaningful and embodied ways. I hold attuned, present space that honors your inner wisdom and your wholeness. I weave two decades of coaching experience and with many years of studies of different trauma-informed mindfulness and somatic-based forms of psychotherapy as well as psychedelic assisted therapy.

I’m committed to provide a safe space for inner exploration that  helps my clients access their inner resources that facilitate the healing of past emotional and attachment-related wounds that are held in the body. Addressing those will naturally help you experience the resilience and the sovereignty to grow and live the life you've been longing for.

Since 2005, I've been dedicated to mentoring clients facing life transitions while guiding their psycho-spiritual development. While tending to core wounds, I deeply enjoy guiding my clients in aligning their lives with their true essence, purpose while opening space to liberate their creative expression. I work with people particularly seeking to attune to feminine principles in their life and leadership for greater ease, inner balance, grounding and flow.

Perhaps you've tried talk therapy or coaching and found it can only go so far. The mindfulness-centered somatic approach I use (called Hakomi), is a gentle, direct and powerful way to catalyze healing and reclaim a greater sense of wholeness. I weave together a variety of complementary therapeutic frameworks and practical guidance such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Expressive Arts Therapy, psychedelic assisted therapy (Ketamine), the Co-Active Coaching framework, and nature-based therapy.

My approach centers wholeness and liberation of all dimensions of being through client-centered, trauma-informed, attachment focused, alongside thoughtful attunement to the relational, somatic, imaginal, cultural and transpersonal dimensions of healing.

I have facilitated rites of passage and retreats internationally since 2013. I have also initiated many vibrant and active peer to peer communities and councils especially amongst women and mothers.

I am the founder of Dancing Without Borders (2011), a creative body of work that focused on unifying thousands of people together on four continents by harnessing the power of dance and creative healing rituals as a form of embodied activism in service to collective liberation and ecological healing.

My young adult life was driven with passion, purpose and strong work ethics committed to represent my country at the Olympic Games as a Solo Sailor, an aspiration I never actualized yet shaped me tremendously from the inside out. I live in Southern California on Chumash territory known as Malibu, CA with my husband and son.
