Hello! Thank you so much for your interest in me and my work. ♡

I am a healing facilitator, somatic educator, and performance artist dedicated to the interconnection between body, mind, and spirit. For decades, I have been devoted to tending the energetic intersections of expression and movement with the experiences of mental and physical health. My dedication to my and your well-being runs deep and is rooted in a belief that we are all interconnected.

I am known for my powerful ability to manifest and facilitate sacred space for personal change and creative growth. For the last twenty years, as a movement practitioner, healer and experiential researcher of body-psychotherapy, I have studied and worked within the interrelationships between mind, body, and spirit. In my workshops and private practice, I offer compassionate guidance in the process of releasing old limiting patterns and becoming more empowered through intentional body-mind movement, breath, and ritual. I am honored to be a healing facilitator and to bear witness to the illuminating presence that manifests within the healing process.

For as long as I remember, I have considered myself a lifelong learner, dedicated to evolving and the scholarship of psyche and soma. I am a graduate of the Seattle School of Body-Psychotherapy, a Certified Yoga Instructor with over 2,800 hours of training, and a Movement-Integration specialist with a Masters of Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I am also a practitioner member of the United States Association of Body-Psychotherapy and a designated Master Somatic Movement Educator and Therapist with the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association (ISMETA). I am a peer editor for the International Body-Psychotherapy Journal which helps keep me up to date with international somatic scholarship. Since 1999, I have taught yoga, somatic healing, movement rituals and cathartic practices. It is in my lifeblood. I’m honored to do this work and to be a part of each person’s journey of transformation, empowerment, and embodied wellness.

As a performance artist, I have performed around the globe in spaces ranging from theaters in Russia to balconies in Guatemala, a graveyard in Mexico, desert plateaus in Southern Utah, forests of the Pacific Northwest, the streets of Seattle and art galleries throughout the United States. Rooted in intentional movement as a mode of poetic intervention and connection, I weave my roots in dance, yoga, innate ritual, Bioenergetics and Butoh through all of my offerings. I am an active member of the DAIPANbutoh Collective and was a member of the Allen Gardner Dance Theater, when I was Utah based, studying intensively with Sifu Jerry Gardner. I am a long term student of Diego Pinon, and have trained with many other masters including Natsu Nakajima, Semimaru of Sankai Juku and Joan Laage.  As part of my commitment to body-mind integration and study, I continually train and collaborate with mental health professionals, somatic educators and creative wizards.
