I help people come home to themselves.

My work is to catalyze a reckoning that becomes the fire of self-possession and unapologetic expansion.

This work takes different forms:

  1. Mind/Body Coach: I work with clients one-on-one

  2. Women’s Circle Guides: I facilitate semester-long women’s circles

  3. Educational Consultant: I train staff and admin around the country at conferences and in school systems to work at the intersection of Social Emotional Learning, Nervous System Regulation, and Mindfulness

  4. Researcher: I collaborate with Colorado State University on researching the components that make up a culture of listening

Areas of expertise

Vocal Resonance

I have a Bachelor’s of Music as a trained opera singer, and training in Safe & Sound, a sound healing program developed by Stephen Porges (founder of Polyvagal Theory). I work with how the resonance of the voice can heal and connect.

Embodied Movement

As an Equity Actress for 23 years, I studied movement-based non-linear theatre and the kinesthetics of healing. As a certified Mind/Body Coach, I work with the body to help unlock, process, and heal trauma.

Education

As an educator for eleven years, with a Master’s in Education, I have worked as adjunct faculty and high school teacher in: Humanities, World Lit, US Lit, Drama, Creative Writing, Reading Recovery, Philosophy, Integrated Services, Life Skills, as well as running a GED program and founding one of the 1st Mindfulness Programs in my school district.

Design Energetics

I hold a Residential Interior's Certification and spent 5 years co-founding and co-running a 5-time Houzz award- winning interior design and real estate staging firm. I study the energetic properties of home and classroom design as a healing modality.

Nervous System Regulation

I am a SourcePoint Therapy Practitioner, a Mindful Schools trained Mindfulness Instructor, a certified Mind/ Body Coach through The Embody Lab, and a trained intuitive healer studying the implications of the nervous system on healing.

Narrative Healing

I have over a decade of experience building an LLC focused on self-exploration, resiliency cultivation, and long-term holistic health for educators, activists, and community space-holders called Arkitekt with a particular focus on building a culture of listening.

I write on health and wellness topics for The Good Trade

More about me

 

Writer + Speaker

 

I teach people how to create brave and nourishing spaces where people feel seen, heard, and held in the radical act of naming themselves and sharing their story, whether that be at a conference, with an organization, in a healing session, a circle, a classroom, a workshop, or one-on-one coaching. 

 

Embodied Healer

 

The depth of my offerings comes from the rawness of my human experience, most specifically as I bore witness to the ravaging of my son’s body by cancer and chose to rely upon faith in the unseen order, initiating me into a clear knowing about what matters and what does not when you surrender to the brutal (and holy) truth of suffering.

I am held by the ancient wisdom of the sacred feminine within my community, and as I sit at the feet of many wise guides and teachers. Before I am allowed to talk about a thing, I have to live the thing. Ideas incarnate inside my flesh. I think this is what integrity means: I don’t get to stay safe inside my head. What I go through becomes the medicine I can offer. This informs the potency of my work as a writer and presenter of transformational content.

 

3rd Way Maker

 

I am named for non-duality. My calling on the earth is to find the third way through and shine the light on this less traveled path. I believe in Both/And and finding the places where we can dwell together without defense. I also recognize I am a white cisgender woman with mostly dominant identities and inherent privileges. If this privilege is good for anything, it is to use my access to remove barriers of access.

 

Keeper Of The Fire

 

I see myself as a mystic in the lineage of healers like Audre Lorde and Gloria Anzaldua (who coined the phrase “keeper of the fire”). I walk into the fires because I know this is the only way to transform.

“as keepers of the fire of transformation, we invite awareness of soul into our daily acts, call richness and beauty into our daily lives; bid spirit to stir our blood, dissolve the rigid walls between us, and gather us in. May our voices proclaim the bond of bridges.”

— Gloria Anzaldua
