I came to this work through my own body. I've lived with chronic pain since I was twenty — a herniated disc in my neck, and an old abdominal ache from a surgery I had as an infant. For years I looked for relief, and slowly learned to work with my own body: self-myofascial release with my hands, foam rollers, and balls, and a long list of somatic practices I tried on myself before I ever offered them to anyone else.
Physical pain isn't the only challenge I've overcome. I've worked through my own relationship wounds — from childhood and early love. Fear of rejection, fear of judgement, seeking external validation. Over the past five years I've explored more than fifty healing modalities, from talk therapy to breathwork, and trained in Daoist inner alchemy with Master Mantak Chia. Doing this work on myself inspired me to help others.
Today I help people build the life of their dreams through coaching and bodywork. A life with less chronic pain and loneliness, more love and connection. I don't promise miracles. What I bring is lived experience, helpful frameworks, calm presence, and a deep desire to help others flourish.
