As a woman who knows what it is to hold everything together while something essential quietly falls apart — I know the particular exhaustion of being capable and invisible to yourself at the same time.
I’ve been supporting women in private practice since 2012 - first through the body, then increasingly through the emotional and identity work that the body can’t stop asking for.
What I’ve learned over that time is this: most of the women who come to me are not stuck because they don’t know enough. They’re stuck because the knowing lives in their head, and the thing that needs to change lives somewhere else entirely.
That’s where I work.
Somatic integration means working with the whole system - nervous system patterns, emotional truth, body signal, identity, the stories running underneath the strategies. It’s slower than advice. It lasts longer than insight.
My approach is grounded in more than a decade of practice and ongoing study in nervous system regulation, functional movement, perimenopause care, and pelvic health. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Health Administration, a National Board Certification in Health and Wellness Coaching (NBC-HWC), and a personal trainer certification.
I’ve taught movement - cycling, yoga, strength, and balance - for over twenty-five years. I know what it looks like when a body is ‘performing’ versus when it is at home in itself. There’s a difference.
I'm not here to simply hold space. I'm here to be genuinely useful — which sometimes means saying the thing you've been circling around but haven't quite landed on yet.
You'll leave different than you arrived, even if you can't immediately explain how.
Outside of this work, I'm a traveler, a reader, a thrift store wanderer, and someone who considers sitting on a beach with sun on her face and sand between her toes a genuine form of therapy. I live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband, my kids, and my cool black cat.
I'm a proud LGBTQ+ ally. Science, facts, and expertise matter to me — in my work and in my life.
