I am a holistic practitioner and educator, dedicated to navigating the complexities of body, mind, and spirit with empathy and skill, that includes nurturing compassionate engagement with the world.

I began my vocational journey as a medical massage therapist in 1987. This opened me to what I understood intuitively: the inseparability
of the bodymind.

Completion of a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Teacher Training® in 2001, built on earlier experience with the Laban-Barentieff movement methods and heightened my passion
for somatic education.

Body Mind Centering® teachings enrich my understanding of developmental movement: work that is essential for appreciating the arc of human potential.

My personal psycho-emotional work began in 1988 and reflects a deep commitment to inner transformation. This path parallels my sustained study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism which began in the same year.

Since 2020, my practices and study place particular emphasis on the restoration of the feminine principle to its natural place among us through the guidance of Lama Tsultrim Allione.

Integrating wisdom traditions and trauma informed embodied inquiry, my approach bridges somatic self-discovery with Buddhist philosophy, and supports an ongoing journey of awareness, healing, and realization.

In 2010, I completed a BA from Antioch University Seattle in Contemplative Leadership & Whole Systems Theory. This program laid a strong foundation for the synthesis of interconnectedness and compassionate leadership.

What’s essential to my journey is the conviction that discovering one’s true nature is both a personal and collective imperative.

The completion of a Hakomi Body-Centered Psychotherapy training in 2017 weaves together my vocational passions: somatic inquiry, spiritual insight, and the transformative gifts of depth psychology.

I am the author of the audio
workbook “Freedom From
Habits of Body & Mind©” a
guided somatic journey that
nourishes body, brain, mind,
and heart.

This quote from James Baldwin speaks to what I am about: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

What I continue to learn from my mentors coupled with my lived experience, is that it takes courage and commitment to face what must be changed and accept what cannot. And yet, within that process of discernment is where personal power and creative agency emerge.
