Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-oriented modality that transforms lives through healing trauma. Developed by Peter Levine, Ph.D., it is the result of the multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics, with more than 45 years of successful application.

Somatic Experiencing aims to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies. When we are stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze, SE helps us release, recover, and become more resilient.

Advanced Level I

Internal Family Systems (IFS Parts Work) is a non-pathologizing, spiritual and therapeutic healing technique.

I was introduced to the lineage of Intentional Creativity® (IC) during a painting workshop with Shiloh Sophia in 2018. Through this process, I access parts of consciousness that long for expression through color, shape, symbol, and beauty.

I’ve created a whole bunch of original paintings, each one a conversation between heart, body, mind and soul.

This practice brings me alive, it’s healing creativity in motion.

I am now a teacher-in-training in Intentional Creativity® and have developed Paint Your Parts—a bespoke healing-arts painting class that blends Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing and Intentional Creativity®.

It’s an experience of healing and self-discovery and connection, through color and compassion.

Before my work with SE and IFS, I worked with thousands of people in the Bay Area of San Francisco as an award-winning acupuncturist, herbalist, natural medicine practitioner, life coach, group and workshop facilitator, and more.

I bring all my past experience into being the seasoned practitioner i am today. I am over 50. ;)

I left a stable life in Northern California as a successful business owner to follow dreams to pursue other aspects of who I am.

This meant not only selling the business, but selling and letting go of most of my belongings. I traveled as a nomad for three years before landing in Santa Fe.

All to say that I’ve lived it.

I know both the peaks of hope and freedom as well as the challenges and uncertainty of the journey. I can support your transitions from a special place of lived experience.

Numerous trainings and on-going learning, research, and practice with:

Human Design is a map of how you were designed to operate. Some people are designed to initiate, others to respond. Knowing your Human Design can be a versatile and applicable tool that is especially useful in understanding how you work, make decisions and process emotions.

Drawn to indigenous wisdom, I studied the Medicine Wheel and traditional shamanic journeying with various teachers. I also spent many years in community with a Native Medicine Woman in Northern California, where I participated in and supported countless ceremonies, including such things as sweat lodges and traditional fasting vision quests.
