I'm so glad our paths have crossed. We are not meant to do this healing work alone.
I honestly believe that every thread of my life, from birth to now, has led me to this moment. What drives me every day is my desire to protect this precious earth and awaken our human capacities of compassion, creation, community, and love.
This is what I know about my purpose: I was born to learn to love myself and others unconditionally so that I could help others do the same. I was made for these times, to uplift, encourage, and walk with others through transitions no matter how difficult. I was created to bring hope, and to spread light and beauty in everything I do.
How Did I Get Here?
While everything I do in the room with my clients is for the healing and growth of the client, we are in truth two humans meeting. It takes great courage to be real with another. To see authentic humanity in another is to find hope. Maybe my story can inspire trust in yourself, and to know, as Rumi so beautifully said, "The wound is where the light enters you." To read about my journey, go here.
Where you will most often find me...
I live with my best friend, fellow adventurer and husband Jordan in Marin County, Northern California. In my spare time I can be found hiking the trails and beaches surrounding Mount Tamalpais, photographing nature and walking dogs, or at my home nest gardening, cooking gourmet meals and joyfully immersed in reading poetry.
What I believe about Healing and Transformation:
I've come to realize that all our attempts to heal or "fix" ourselves come from our desire for wholeness. We are desperately seeking to return home: home to our bodies, our authentic selves, healthy relationships, empowering communities and to the earth itself. Disconnected from the internal and external sources of wisdom, we've come to live in a perpetual fight or flight mode where peace within and with others is an elusive concept. Our maps have been marked up by confusing false narratives, developmental traumas, societal roles, and religious wounds.
But, what if we are not broken? What if we've simply lost our way, and can find our path again by slowing down to truly listen?
I believe we each carry within us a great capacity for love, even when we don't feel loving or lovable. We as humans are naturally sensitive, curious, intuitive and wise. We hold within us our own map we need to take us home.
I also believe:
❧ What this world needs most at this time is kindness and compassion, for others and for ourselves.
❧ We each are already whole and not broken. At our core flows the golden thread of sweetness, the unique honey of our individual soul essence that is simply covered up by layers of misperceptions, rules, and roles that cloud our memories of who we really are.
❧ We cause our own suffering by believing our thoughts that fight with reality. By learning to love what is, we set ourselves free.
❧ The only thing wrong with us is that we think there is something wrong with us.
❧ Our body is a portal to our deepest wisdom and to contact with the divine.❧ The most damaging false story we carry is that we are separate from nature. The truth is we are not only a part of nature, we nature itself. Nature is our greatest teacher, healer and where we will find ourselves again.
❧ Learning to protect and love animals and the natural world will lead to our salvation, and that dogs just might be the animal ambassador sent here to save us from ourselves.
❧ Dreams speak the language of the soul. When we listen to our dreams, we access ancient wisdom interwoven with our own inherent knowing. In the dream world is where we meet our higher selves as part of the collective consciousness and the collective unconscious.
