Somatic Experiencing® Therapy and Nervous System Healing

I am a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner with a background in birth work. After 13 years as a birth and postpartum doula, supporting clients who either had a traumatic birth or earlier trauma impacting their birth experience, I knew I needed to expand my skills in order to better support the people who came to me for care. And so began my journey with SE™ . A journey that would change everything; how I related to the world, to myself, and to the people that I had the privilege of working with. The healing I’d always been searching for I found within my own body. I learned how to naturally facilitate the re-balancing of my nervous system through SE™. I also discovered the impact that my own early attachment trauma had on my current physiology. Renegotiating those experiences through the body within an attuned safe environment has been nothing short of profound. And helping individuals uncover this wisdom within themselves is one of my greatest joys.

I work with adult trauma survivors, healers, new parents, empaths, highly sensitive individuals, academics, LGBTQA+, adult children of survivors, and people struggling with chronic pain and illness. I view everyone as a whole person and no one as broken. I truly believe that we all have an innate wisdom that connects us to our true self and that we can reclaim ourselves through reconnecting mind and body and begin living a fuller, more joy filled, authentic life. The birthright of all peoples.

My areas of focus include the nervous system, emotional attunement, birth and medical trauma, inherited trauma, non traditional relationships and family structures, early attachment, CPTSD.
