Who am I? I am a queer identified woman who is super passionate about helping others help themselves. I’m not here to fix you. It’s up to you to decide if you want to do the work for you or not. I’m here with a box of tools to share and show you how to use, if you’re interested.
I’ve been stuck and burnt out. I’ve been in the position of putting one foot in front of the other down the path society and my parents and family laid out for me. And I’ve woken up! Realized I was just going through the motions instead of living my life. This is where I got off the path and started creating my own. I pursued yoga and meditation. I performed burlesque. I sat naked on a stage reading stories aloud. I walked away from what had become a soul sucking job. I pursued joy and pleasure. I did the Artist’s Way. I found mindfulness and breathwork. Now, I’m creating a village of connections with amazing people. There are so many tools I picked up along the way and have found myself. I am in love with this life! And excited for you to be part of it.
For those who like the credentials info I have a BA in psychology, 200hr yoga teacher training, 100hr ayurveda training, Certified Numa Breathwork Facilitator (400hr), and Certified Breath Coach (50hr). I have done physical and mental health first aid trainings, suicide and self harm prevention trainings, leadership trainings and more. I love to learn and to share what I’ve learned.
I am trauma informed and solution focused. Let me meet you where you are and we’ll move from there. You set the tone. You set the pace. I’m here to support you with tools and practices along with being your cheerleader! You got this!
