You have the capacity to tap into your inner wisdom, 
take effective action, and experience wellness from the inside out.

There are many pathways of healing.

Self-advocacy, knowledge, and an experimental body/heart/mindset 
are key ingredients for meaningful and lasting change.

Small changes can have large positive ripple effects.
New lifestyle choices and integration can feel easy.

Nourishing your body builds a foundation of vitality and resilience.

And while your body is inherently self-healing, healing often requires 
specific kinds of attention, choices, habits, and support.

Infinite nuanced unwindings, restorations, pleasures, 
awes, wonders, and healings are available to us 
if only we explore and tend to ourselves. 

When we experience our bodies more fully through somatic exploration, 
we cultivate the gardens of our internal landscape.

Tuning into our own unique embodiment, we may find ourselves 
more easily delighted, peaceful, relaxed, vitalized, empowered, transformed.

As we consciously reawaken to our senses, 
our outer selves may naturally blossom.

We are psyche and soul enfleshed.
We are a robust, resilient, miraculous mystery. 

We are full of potential.

Sensing ourselves and navigating from 
the clear, vibrant center of our consciousness
is a multi-layered, ongoing process.

Your body is an ecosystem.
All systems within you are intimately interconnected.

And through our bodies, we are interwoven with nature, 
the elements, and every living being around us.

We imbibe our surroundings on every level.
In each gesture, choice, word, and action, we give back our imprint.

According to a multitude of ancient & new maps of consciousness,
we operate from at least three primary centers of awareness.

The words embodiment and somatics imply this multi-layered awareness.

Our experiences are defined by our internal & external perceptions, responses,
and longings as they express through our bodies, hearts, and minds.

In the music of our life, we are the symphony as well as each cord and progression. 
We are every single note. 

We are sensing, feeling, action.

Embodiment refers to how we inhabit our tissues and 
our fundamental ability to BE in the full, fleshy fabric of our animal bodies.

Because our body is inherently intertwined with all other aspects of being human, 
the concept of embodiment points to the full range of how we might be 
and experience ourselves, others, and the environment. 

It defines the lenses and filters of our perceptions, 
as well as our movements in the world.

Fundamental to living our our purpose is the process of becoming skillful, 
strong, and nimble in our natural attentions and expressions. 

With focus, we are able to deepen and expand our subtle awarenesses, 
authentic presence and embodied self-knowledge.

Paying attention to and through our bodies can be a primary and radical act of Love.

And, our explorations and devotional practices ripple into the wider world.

Truth be told, our bodies are not designed 
for many of the demands and inputs of the modern world.

Acknowledgement of this mismatch allows us the freedom to more accurately 
assess our baseline, prioritize our wellbeing, recalibrate as needed, and 
to act & be in alignment with our authentic values.

We can develop our capacity and skill for self-leadership and choice 
as to how we inhabit and express ourselves, 
even when we are faced with less than ideal circumstances. 

We can create change both in the present (our states) and over time (our traits). 
Intentional, consistent embodied practice grows our range of possibilities.

In each moment, we are presented with a new opportunity 
to craft our felt experience and fully engage.

What are words compared to your present moment 
felt sense of what is happening, now?

Rest in the center of yourself.

Move from that place.

I help people who are 
ready and motivated for change 
 make significant shifts of habit and routine, 
tune in more deeply, and 
tend to their embodied wellbeing.

I am open to connecting about a range of 
experiential and body topics.
 
I welcome questions, curiosities, and discussions 
as to how you might like to be supported.

Over the years, I have witnessed people recover beautifully from 
all kinds of health challenges by committing to take excellent care of themselves.

I have also successfully navigated the terrain of my own healing
from acute & chronic injuries of the varieties that befall seasoned movers 
and from the challenges of hypermobility.

All of my offerings are rooted in a deep experiential understanding of 
myofascial, visceral, craniosacral & lymphatic fluid dynamics, 
yoga, somatic movement, and embodied awareness practices.

I enjoy rolling around on things, rolling things around on my Self,
playing with my breath, and exploring in nature.

I spend significant time on the floor, in the water, and wandering or dancing barefoot. 
I have neither watched the news nor owned a couch in many years.

I read a lot of books. I love to share and discuss them. My tastes range from earthy to cosmic. 

Most days, I write with my favorite pen in a bound journal. 
I have been doing this for as long as I can remember. 
Every few years, I shred and/or burn the pages. 

And then, I begin again.
