Your body is a living, intelligent ecosystem that holds the map to your healing, freedom, and most authentic life. Somatic work is the practice of healing through the body rather than around it or in spite of it.  This is a bottom up approach to healing that complements and offers an alternative to the more common top-down approaches of therapy styles such as CBT and ACT.

For those carrying the weight of trauma, chronic stress, or living in a differently designed body (e.g. highly sensitive, EDS, chronic illness), somatic healing is a way to metabolize the past, honor our experiences, reshape our nervous systems, build self-trust and self-compassion, update our systems, and build capacity for humaning. 

Drawing on certifications and study with leading experts in somatic movement, Integrative Somatic Trauma Healing, and advanced energy medicine — and informed by my own profound journey healing complex trauma and chronic illness — I offer somatic sessions designed to help you find a genuine home inside yourself and come to an embodied knowing that you are not broken, it is not your fault, and there is nothing wrong with you.

You are so much more powerful than you were led to believe.  Energy medicine is ancient yet practical wisdom that can help us stop seeking answers and power outside ourselves and instead locate and cultivate our inner wisdom and resources. 

Energy medicine practices help us clear our own space, discharge what doesn't belong to us, and return to the sovereign wisdom at our core — so we can lead our lives grounded in our own knowing rather than driven by the world-noise outside. For empaths, intuitives, and sensitives especially, this work is a profound antidote for the ways this world has tried to unhelpfully contort you.

Cultivated through lifetimes of Shamanic-Priestess work, deep immersion in Qoya, study with many gifted mentors, and my embodied wisdom as a highly sensitive intuitive and multi-dimensional channel, my energy medicine work is offered with reverence and from my own devoted practice.

I was a full time practicing Shamanic Astrologer, teacher of astrology, and resident astrology expert for many groups over the course of several years. I use Shamanic Astrology now as one of my many tools to help unlock deeper truths and orientations for my clients.

I learned Shamanic Astrology through a deep apprenticeship with a master teacher named Sao Long, and also studied with the Shamanic Astrology school (now TOTAMS), Tami Brunk, Astrology Hub, and myriad other teachers.

Shamanic Astrology is earth based, less corrupted by Western patriarchal ideologies, and profoundly archetypal in nature. I practice Soul Map astrology, which is a way of looking at your chart as a set of soul intentions for this lifetime, and Soul Seasons wisdom, which is about understanding the cosmic cycles to understand your current soul curriculum in this chapter of your life.

The stories we tell about ourselves are the living architecture of our identity and fossil record of our lives. They influence how we see ourselves, move through the world, and what we believe is possible for our lives.

At the heart of narrative healing is the radical and liberating insight that the person is not the problem and that no single storyline can encapsulate the totality of who we are. This means the painful, limiting, or shame-laden stories we've been living inside are not the truth of us — they are stories that can be examined, deconstructed, and rewritten.

Drawing on my own decades of experience as a writer, author of two books on writing to heal, writing guide, and healer, I developed Heal a Story That Hurts — a protocol that has liberated many people from the grip of their past and transformed stories that once caused suffering into sources of power, peace, and clarity.

This work guides us into the stories you've been carrying — those inherited from family, forged in trauma, or simply never fully witnessed — offering a pathway of liberation and self-authorship.

I spent years working privately with an ancestral healing practitioner, and have completed training programs with Daniel Foor, a pioneering teacher of ancestral healing. I use nature allies, journey work, ritual work, and other processes to help a client illuminate the ancestral dimensions of their current life circumstances.

I believe that we can work with the well ones on our ancestral lines to recover and embody the healing resources of our lineages. I also believe that bringing more consciousness to the patterns of our lineage and the trans-generational stories held in our DNA can help us to find freedom from the past and navigate new roads forward that liberate ourselves and our lineage. Ancestral healing isn’t about cutting ties or throwing things back at those who came before us, but brings us back into relationship with those who have walked before us, to bring consciousness, clarity and choice to our lives today.

Many therapeutic processes are aimed at managing the surface daily realities of our lives. While those dimensions are important, our work together aims to go deeper, to uncover and navigate the deeper threads and more expansive dimensions of our lives.

Depth work helps us go beyond our social personas or masks to meet our deep psyche and more authentic selves— who we came to be before the world told us what it wanted us to be.

Depth work in practice looks many ways— it can be dream work, somatic work, archetypal work, pattern exploration, work with myths and fairy tales, deep imagery or shamanic journey work that can all help us get to subconscious materials and deep soul wisdom.

I am designed at the cellular level to work at the depths and to go beyond the surface appearance of things in my own life and in support of my clients. I’ve studied Jung’s work and depth or soulcentric practices and principles with Animus Valley Institute. My Shamanic training and Shamanic Astrology studies also contribute to my work in this domain.

Sound is one of humanity's oldest and most potent healing technologies — from the toning chambers of ancient Egypt, to Tibetan singing bowls, to the sacred chants of indigenous traditions.

Modern science is catching up to what the ancients always knew: that sound is not merely something we hear, but a vibrational force that impacts every cell of our bodies, restructures the water that makes up 70% of our bodies, and can restore discordant, stressed tissues back into harmony.

In my sessions, I channel high-vibrational frequencies, Earth energies, and unseen collective Beings through my voice — accompanied by drums, crystal bowls, and other instruments — to offer a multi-dimensional healing experience that clears vibrational density, releases entrenched patterns, restores your original energetic templates of creativity, vitality, and joy, and supports the mental, emotional, energetic, and soul bodies in returning to wholeness.

These sound journeys are profoundly personal and deeply transformative — a sacred doorway, as those who've experienced the work describe it, into clarity, freedom, and a remembrance of who you truly are.

I’ve been working in deep kinship with Nature Beings my entire life, and sometimes feel more connected to the natural world than the human realms.

I have studied herbalism and flower essence therapy extensively with teachers such as Matthew Wood and Julia Graves. In my former business, Santosha Birth & Wellness, I developed and lovingly crafted flower essence remedies and herbal healing products for women and children.

I am trained and experienced in offering soul retrieval protocols in a working with flower essences and stones (these are in person and happen clothed on a massage table).

I also offer herbal and flower essence consultations as part of my larger work with private clients.

One of my favorite places to do healing and guidance sessions is in nature and utilize many specific practices I learned at the Animus Valley Institute and elsewhere to help people connect to the Other-than-human worlds as ways into their own stories and soul truths. This work is unique and powerful. I also find the work of reconnecting with our Nature Parents to be very powerful and integrate that into my work with clients as needed.

Rooted in years of deep immersion in Qoya, Shamanic-Priestess training, and SoulCraft work with Animus Valley and beyond, my soulcentric ritual, ceremony, and experiential work emerges from a lived understanding that the body, soul, and creative spirit are among our most potent pathways to healing and wholeness.

Ceremony and ritual — whether a fire ceremony, grief ritual, cacao ceremony, womb healing, closing of the bones, a sacred storytelling circle, or personalized ritual — create containers where the ordinary becomes sacred, transitions are honored, and what has been unwitnessed in us can finally be seen, honored and integrated.
