About me

I came into this work from a place of calling in my own body and through the support of many wonderful mentors around me. Growing up as a dancer and actor, my body has always been my main “tool”, and I used it as such. But I wasn’t really in a connected or conscious relationship with it.

When I found myself struggling with grief in my 20’s, I began the process of looking inward and going to counselling. This helped me understand my feelings, some patterns and give names to depression and anxiety. But it wasn’t until I found nervous system and systemic family constellation work in my 30’s that I really started to feel relief. 

Something incredible happened when I began to understand my nervous system better: I realized I had been living in a state of functional freeze, probably for most of my life. I could go about my day to day, I could be productive and even be somewhat successful in some endeavours but I felt an immense darkness weighing me down, intense stress when making decisions and just generally stuck, as though I just wasn’t getting it. I wasn’t loving fully, I wasn’t experiencing joy fully: I was in survival mode.

Understanding my nervous system and family patterns eventually lead me into an ever evolving partnership with my body and with the world around me. It allowed me to feel real joy, to find trust in myself and to connect with my family and friends in a way that I had never experienced before. And it made me channel my desire to support and see people thrive into a wonderful career.

The most beautiful part of the journey has been turning my experience into medicine for others. My goal is to work as your co-conspirator, your ally, and walk with you on your own unique journey to understand your nervous system, where things are stuck, and how to live from a place of grounded, regulated joy and contentment. 

I work with people who understand there is an important connection between the mind and body and that both need to be engaged to really experience long lasting shifts. My work lends itself to working in the area of trauma (traumatic events, loss, grief) as well as ongoing issues of depression, anxiety and chronic stress. Because of my family constellation work, I especially enjoy working with people who are experiencing interpersonal issues. I love working with people as they navigate transitions in their life, whether big or small.
