About Me

I came to this work the long way around—through lived experience, professional training, and years of listening closely to bodies, including my own.

I’m a neuro-somatic trauma coach, craniosacral therapist, and bodyworker, and the throughline of my work is simple: helping people come out of survival mode and back into relationship with themselves in a way that actually lasts.

Before this became my profession, it was my personal work. I’m a survivor of complex trauma, and for much of my life I lived in my head—overthinking, managing, anticipating, and pushing through. Like many people who appear capable on the outside, my nervous system rarely felt safe on the inside. Insight alone wasn’t enough. Neither was willpower. What changed things for me was learning how to work with the body and the nervous system directly, at a pace that didn’t overwhelm or retraumatize.

That experience fundamentally shaped how I work with others.

My approach is neuro-somatic and body-led. I’m less interested in fixing people or chasing breakthroughs, and more interested in creating the conditions where the nervous system can soften, reorganize, and integrate naturally. Sometimes that happens through hands-on craniosacral work. Sometimes through quiet, structured coaching. Sometimes through creative practice that bypasses overthinking and lets the body speak in a different language. Often, it’s a combination.

I work with people who are intelligent, insightful, and exhausted from holding it all together. People who understand their patterns but can’t think their way out of them. People who are ready for safety and ease to become a lived experience, not just a concept.

Professionally, I bring both depth and structure to this work. I hold a Master’s degree in Business and have a strong background in strategy and systems, which allows me to create containers that are clear, ethical, and well-boundaried. Alongside that, I’m trained in craniosacral therapy, advanced bodywork, trauma-informed coaching, and neuro-somatic approaches that center nervous system regulation and embodied awareness rather than pathology.

I’m careful about scope. My work is educational and wellness-based, not psychotherapy, and I take that distinction seriously. At the same time, I don’t shy away from the reality that this work can be deeply therapeutic. Many people come to me after years of talk therapy, personal development, or spiritual work and are surprised by how much shifts when the body is finally included in the conversation.

On a personal level, I’m a mother of four daughters, and that role has shaped me as much as any training ever could. Parenting has deepened my understanding of nervous systems, boundaries, repair, and the difference between control and safety. It’s also made me deeply committed to breaking generational patterns—both in my family and in the work I offer others.

I value honesty over performance, presence over pressure, and integration over intensity. I don’t believe healing has to be dramatic to be real. Often, the most meaningful changes are quiet ones: less urgency, more capacity, a growing sense that you can stay with yourself even when things are uncomfortable.

Whether you work with me in person, online, creatively, or through community spaces, my intention is the same: to offer a grounded, respectful environment where your body can do what it already knows how to do—find its way back to safety, clarity, and trust.

If you’re here, curious, and feeling something resonate, that’s usually enough to begin.
