Since my early 20’s I’ve been devoted to living the path of transformation. Through this journey, I have experienced profound mystical experiences, lifelong dreams coming to reality, and significant physical healing. Despite a devoted spiritual practice, a successful and well respected academic career and the family I’d always dreamed of, I found myself deeply lost and unsure of my place in this world. I was yearning for a true initiation. Everything changed when I expanded my focus from only looking towards the light, and finally became willing to descend into the darkness of my own shadow. I began to heal my own reactive nervous system and renegotiate traumas from my early life, cultivating a felt sense of inner safety and belonging. And through my own soul initiation and descent into the underworld, I confronted my core wound and alchemized the most painful experiences of my life into medicine to bring to the world. Day to day and moment to moment I continue to align and expand into more authenticity and freedom in my life, and I guide others to do the same.

When we heal our own wounds, they transform. And through this process we build our capacity to hold others in their darkness and healing. As I see it, this is our greatest work on the planet right now.

My work in trauma healing and birth integration is an offering that emerged out of my own soul journey and lived experience. It is a heartfelt contribution to our collective healing and to future generations that may embody our innate blueprint as a dignified expression of Thriving Life.

My life and work is informed by my own transformational journey, my professional training in Somatic Experiencing, and the work I’ve done with important teachers, mentors and guides including Rachelle Garcia Seliga of INNATE Traditions, and the Conscious Leadership Group.

I live with my beloved family in the Colorado foothills, navigating life as an undomesticated wife and mother. I spend my days in pursuit of greater aliveness, compassion and healing. I am deeply in love with learning in all forms - reading, seeking, and experimenting with life through my own lived experience. When I am not working with clients and groups, my days are mostly filled with caring for myself and my family, nourishing us with food as medicine, and spending time connecting with Nature and the rhythms of the Earth.
