I’m a counselor and guide for people navigating personal transformation. My work weaves together mindfulness, astrology, and embodied practices to help you reconnect with what’s real and possible.I've always been fascinated with learning and teaching, particularly with the magic of finding a path from stuckness to change. Working with my own parts and patterns has been a complicated and confusing journey with very few roadmaps or clear directions. What an 'aha' when I realized that my work is actually to love the messy and conflicting parts of myself (rather than control them)! And I've been practicing that ever since.
A longstanding mindfulness and meditation practice has been my foundation. I am deeply grateful for the support of many years of studying with my core teacher, and for Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings (especially on emotions and tenderness). Parenting has been like a lab for me, and my now-grown kids have been the most important teachers I will ever have. Learning to love without control and fixing, as well as to allow space without disconnecting, has changed me more deeply than any other experience. More recently astrology has grown into a central part of my work. It helps me see the incredible complexity within myself, every being, and this messy and still beautiful world, offering support to understand nuance and find viable paths through the wilderness of this crazy life. I've also studied emotions and the science of emotions, family constellations, shadow work, systems, creativity and play, embodiment and somatics, movement, and human development over the years, and each is integrated in my life and my work. For me, like most of my clients, transformative healing work wasn't a simple 'fix.' It's been complicated and often counterintuitive. I've turned inward toward myself, down into my ancestors and deep patterns, out into the natural world and human culture, and up to the stars and systems much bigger than I can understand. I share what I've learned and lived and integrated in my work, and that work is a completely individualized experience of finding a path from where you are to where you really want to be. |
