Why I am passionate about supporting you...

 I discovered Craniosacral Therapy on my own nervous sytem healing journey when life accumulated trauma finally caught up with me and a couple big life events put my nervous system over its limit. I spent a few years struggling with my immune system and health followed by a couple years of experiencing the effects of stress, burnout, loss and grief. I experienced the uncomfortable symptoms of chronic pain, a dysregulated nervous system with anxiety, depression, severe anemia, hormonal imbalance and digestive issues. I know how scary, painful, confusing and dis-heartening it can be to feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you, and you can no longer function and live life the way you used to. Left feeling uncertain about how to move forward.  

I was grateful when a friend referred me to a Biodynamic Craniosacral Practitioner where I experienced holistic benefits that brought relief to both the physical and emotional distress I was experiencing.  I was amazed how relaxed, soft and pleasant I felt during and after a session and would often walk or rest in nature afterwards and feel as if a stress dial was turned way down offering me more presence, clarity and the relief of just feeling a little better and more like myself.  Additionally it was so lovely to be held with that level of attunement and compassionate presence with all of the suffering I was experiencing.

​

Somatic Counselling, Somatic Movement & Dance Practices further supported me in learning how to go from passively and unconsciously enduring my emotions, feelings and trauma to actively feeling, meeting and expressing it so that I didn't feel so stuck, weighed down and overwhelmed. I learned how to relate to myself, my feelings and thoughts in a completely new and much gentler way. I find these practices powerful for shifting out of the cognitive realm we know so well and dropping down into the the feeling body to meet and relate to our bodies and discomfort in present, creative, exploratory ways that can even feel good when held with loving support. Each of these practices can support in moving stuck energy, releasing and clearing what no longer serves, and connecting with inner self and spirit.

My intention is to create a space that feels sacred, peaceful, and like the safest place possible for you to feel held with gentleness ease and care and remember the felt sense of strength and empowerment at your core.

It is my experience that periods of ill health or massive life transitions can be somewhat of an initiation, taking us to new depths to be with the unprocessed, old feelings and pain we are carrying. An opportunity to deepen our relationship with self and learn how to hold ourselves with radical compassion and open to wild grace, through the waves of excruciating discomfort and growing pains of healing. On the other side of these challenges can often be a more loving relationship with ourselves and others, and a stronger and more authentic sense of self and belonging. New depths of experience can awaken our unique gifts and purpose to be shared with the world. Suffering is somewhat of an art, and if we can learn to meet our experience as it is, with more kindness and less reaction - as a compassionate witness - our pain and suffering can become a portal; to the coherence, love and resilience we are at our core.
