About

At the age of 14, I was catapulted into my own healing journey when I read my first self-help book. I remember thinking to myself, “you can change your internal world?” Up until then, there was this assumption that I was stuck with my lot in life. I remember feeling like something wasn’t right with my life, I just didn’t know what that was. At face value, my life seemed okay but there was unknown, unacknowledged, and chronic trauma that was plaguing my days. But reading that book taught me that I could learn to change how I think about myself and how I move through this world—and my passion to find the root cause of my suffering was born.

Since then, I’ve experienced a lot, and tried even more, in pursuit of finding inner peace and healing. Some things helped, other things did not. Most, simply managed the emotional and psychological pain with surface applications. There were many positive changes that came from my trial and error approach, but inside I was still feeling fragmented and dealing with a growing frustration that I still hadn’t found the root cause of my suffering even after decades of searching. 

Then the day came, many years later, when I found the work of Somatic Experiencing® (SE). I knew right away that, not only was this was the work and healing I had been searching for all along, but that this was the work and healing I wanted to bring into the world for others. Working one-on-one with a practitioner and implementing somatic principles into my lifestyle, has led me to discover my whole self, and an integrated healing that I had only previously dreamed about. It has paved the way for me to evolve into the person I always wanted to be, and in many ways, already was but couldn’t see or access. It was the somatic approach to nervous system healing that deconstructed the layers of beliefs and patterns that were being stored in my body’s systems and allowed me to truly connect with myself and with others, from an authentic place, for what felt like the first time ever.

My discovery of SE and the somatic approach to nervous system healing was what I had been searching for all along, and in many ways, was the true beginning of my healing journey.
