When my recovery journey began in 2002, I didn’t know where to begin. I was a teenager struggling with an eating disorder, substance abuse, and complex PTSD. I obeyed all professionals and treatment plans, which were primarily focused on telling me to breathe, get grounded, and become present. Nothing improved, I kept getting worse, and medications continued to increase. It felt as if important steps were being skipped, my individual needs were nonexistent, and I wasn’t receiving support in the ways I needed.

It took a decade to understand the missing piece – no one was making sure I was in my body.

I started working with clients in 2015 with a singular mission to be the adult I needed. From the beginning, we focused on fundamentals like breathwork + movement, food + water, and they learned how to meet their most basic personal needs. I taught my students how to stay grounded in themselves through the transitions of recovery, and I saw them thriving on the other side.

My present-day work is simple – I guide people back to themselves through somatic exercises, education around healing their nervous system, and yoga inspired practices. And, I believe everyone has the power to heal and recover.

To do this work alongside my strong and resilient clients + community is an honor.

Looking forward to our journey,
