Training and Background

Training & Background


My work is informed by over 15 years of study, lived experience, and ongoing practice in somatic healing, sound, integration, and facilitation of safe, intentional spaces for transformation. I value humility, continued learning, and ethical care, and I remain committed to deepening my capacity to serve in ways that are grounded, trauma-informed, and responsive to the needs of those I work with.

Orientation & Ethics

I approach this work with deep respect for personal agency, nervous system safety, and the innate wisdom of the body. I do not diagnose medical or mental health conditions, prescribe treatments, or interpret experiences on behalf of clients.

My role is to offer presence, attuned facilitation, and practical tools to support integration and embodiment over time. I am committed to walking alongside others with care, integrity, and humility—honoring that each person’s path unfolds in its own way and on its own timeline.
