My Journey

My journey began with a deep curiosity about the mind-body connection and its profound impact on well-being—especially as I experienced it firsthand. At a crossroads, I left an unfulfilling career in the film industry and the uncertainties of improv and acting. Motivated by a desire for deeper exploration, I sought a modality that could bridge cognitive inquiry with embodied experience.

Building on this quest, I immersed myself in somatic practices to deepen my connection with myself, help others unlock their potential, and cultivate self-awareness through embodiment. This quest led me to obtain my accredited certification as a body-oriented coach from The Somatic School, where I integrated well-established modalities such as Focusing, Gestalt theory, Hakomi, and Authentic Movement. My background in improvisation not only enhances my coaching practice and sound baths but also fuels a spontaneous, intuitive approach—helping me listen with my whole body, stay deeply receptive, and respond authentically as each session unfolds.

Furthermore, I bring the gifts of my personal wounds into my work. My experiences with grief from loss, addiction, and the transformative challenges of complex PTSD (C-PTSD) have provided me with intimate insights into human suffering and resilience. These challenges have enriched my healing journey and led me through additional trainings in grief and trauma, deepening my understanding of how these experiences live in the body. These trainings have refined my ability to hold space with greater sensitivity, guiding clients toward embodied healing through movement, ritual, and presence. I recognize that grief is nonlinear, deeply personal, and best supported within a compassionate, trauma-sensitive space—one where clients feel seen, validated, and free to process at their own pace.

Ultimately, these experiences have endowed me with unparalleled empathy and sharpened my ability to connect with others on a profound level. I strive to provide the space, support, and encouragement needed for individuals to honor their current experiences and navigate their challenges. I believe that my wounds have given me the wisdom and insight to inspire and empower others to reach their full potential.

Today, as a somatic coach, I am privileged to witness the transformations that occur when individuals reconnect with their bodies and tap into their innate wisdom on the journey toward wholeness and self-discovery. Additionally, as a sound bath facilitator, I understand that our embodied experiences are deeply intertwined with our social environments—and that resting into ourselves can take many forms. Likewise, as a grief tender, I look forward to offering ritual support within community, because grief isn’t something we are meant to bear alone. Reflecting back on my journey, I remain inspired by the curiosity that first drew me to explore the mind-body connection, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to support others on their somatic path.
