My path began with my own struggles with chronic symptoms, autoimmune issues that led to severe inflammation and pain. It often felt hopeless. For years, I believed healing meant fixing myself, finding the right treatment, diet, or therapy. I explored talk therapy, functional medicine, Western medicine...you name it. I definitely recommend working with a naturopath or functional medicine doctor and building a supportive team, but it’s essential to include nervous system support as part of the care. That was what the essential missing piece. 

​

Today, I live largely symptom-free, with only a rare micro flare-up. I do carry lingering effects from those early years, but the work I do is less about going back to what was, and more about unpeeling the layers to understand why the body is now signaling distress. It’s about designing a life by choice, rather than one handed down.

If your nervous system is stuck in a state of threat, constantly oriented toward fight or flight, no approach alone will fully take hold. Healing isn’t just about treatments, it’s about tending to your nervous system, your body, and your inner life. It’s about self-knowing. Even when you do everything “right,” a body in fight, flight, or freeze mode can struggle to recover. What’s needed is safety, connection, and space to reclaim your aliveness. This understanding guided my training and shapes the work I do today. 

​

What changed my life? Getting to know me. Not what I was told I was, not my family’s values or ideas, but my voice, my truth, my desires. That journey took me from sensual dance classes, to nervous system work, to women’s liberation around sexuality and pleasure.

Home, Hobbies, and Heart

At home, I share life with my husband, Jesse, and our two sons, 13 and 11, along with Koda, our playful poodle. Family time is a cornerstone for us, we love long bike rides together, weekend adventures, and those little moments that make ordinary days feel special.

Outside of family life, I’m drawn to movement, creativity, and connection. I love dancing, painting, and singing in a choir, and I find joy in gathering with friends for meaningful conversations or spontaneous laughter. Traveling, exploring new places, and the occasional girls’ getaway give me space to refresh and reconnect.

These moments, whether with family, friends, or solo, ground me and bring energy and curiosity to the work I do, reminding me why tending to connection, joy, and presence is so important.
