My Story

27C0BB7A-8640-45AC-9F45-1D569169FB26_edited.jpg

There was a time I lost my way, too.

Like so many women, my life wasn't shaped by certainty.

It was shaped by loss.

The deaths of two people I loved deeply changed the course of my life. Grief has a way of asking questions we never expected to answer. It pulled me away from myself and from the quiet sense of trust I once carried so naturally.

For a long time, I searched for what had been lost.

Not only the people I loved, 

but the woman I had been before I lost them.

The journey back wasn't quick.

It wasn't linear.

It unfolded slowly through healing, embodiment, spirituality, and the quiet practice of learning to trust myself again.

Looking back now, I don't see those years as something to overcome.

I see them as the place where my work was born.

Not from theory.

Not from performance.

But from lived experience.

Long before I ever held space for other women, I was learning what it meant to come home to myself.

That journey eventually led me to decades of study in trauma, mindfulness, somatic practices, nervous system regulation, positive psychology, intuitive development, and the many ways we heal. It also deepened the intuitive awareness I had carried since I was young, an awareness that there is always more beneath the surface than words alone can express.

Today, I don't believe healing is about fixing what's broken.

I believe it's about restoring relationship with yourself.

Learning to trust your body.

Your intuition.

Your own inner knowing.

Because the deepest transformation doesn't happen when someone changes you.

It happens when someone creates a space where you feel safe enough to change yourself.

That is the space I hope to create every time a woman sits across from me.

A Little About Me

I live in Northern California with my husband, Jeff, and our little sidekick, Cinnamon. We have a blended family of 4 amazing children.  When I'm not working, you'll usually find me walking on the beaches of Maui, reading a novel, wandering through nature, or spending time with the people I love, including our grand puppy, Coco.I believe some of life's most meaningful moments happen in ordinary places. On a quiet walk. Around a kitchen table. Watching the ocean. Or in an honest conversation between two people. Sometimes healing begins the moment we feel deeply present with ourselves.
