If we knew what was wrong, we’d fix it. We often don’t even know the questions to ask. Shadow work bypasses the intellect and reaches into the unconscious to release unhealthy programs and blocks. Once free, we can flourish.

Who Is Coaching For?

Coaching is for anyone who wants to thrive. There is always something we can release. A major overhaul may be due when we have a massive life change or are at a fork in the road. Regular maintenance can be self-care.

What is The Process Like?

Do you have an open mind? This is not like anything you’ve ever done before. You have to give up control. You can’t overthink things. You can’t anticipate. You have to be in the “now” and in your body. That’s where the secrets lie. It’s going to be weird and easy. Some dismiss it because of that. If you want it to be traditional and hard, this is not for you.

1. No drugs. It's all natural.

This doesn’t involve any chemicals or anything artificial. You already have everything you need to heal. You just need a little guidance.

2. It's typically fast and permanent.

Effective help doesn’t have to be hard, painful, or take a long time.

3. You don't have to rehash your life story.

If you’ve been to many practitioners, you’re tired of telling your story again. Don’t worry. You don’t have to. In fact, it’s better if you don’t.

4. It's holistic.

Everything is connected, so you may come in to heal a broken heart, but find that your leg pain is better, too! Who knows. We don’t chase symptoms. We heal from the root.

5. You don't have to know what's wrong.

The body keeps the score. Your mind doesn’t have to know anything. All we need is there. Trust the process.

6. You don't have to be clever to heal.

Overthinking, anticipating what’s coming, and wanting things to be perfect actually hinder the process, so the less mental “help” you give me, the better. Take it easy. Let go.

About Me

I love putting things in order and creating safe, fun spaces for people to be their best selves because that’s when they are their loveliest.

Let me put my passion and quirks to work for you!

When I was growing up, people made no sense to me. I couldn’t see the patterns. It seemed like human behavior was simply random.

Then I went to college, took psych 101 and it all fell into place! We actually do make sense. We have patterns – lovely patterns! I fell in love with understanding human behavior and became addicted to figuring out how to restructure the order so that people could return to a state of health and balance.

I also love seeing the light come on in people. We’re all incredibly interesting and alive. When we’re safe and courageous, it just spills all over the place.

I love being able to give people the space to be that free.
