we live in a world that has forgotten the language of the body
a world that demands that we sacrifice wholeness on the altar of compliance,
that measures worth by output rather than presence.

perhaps you know this cost intimately
the shoulders that carry tension as familiar as an old coat,
the mind that races even at rest,
the subtle alienation from the joy that once flowed unbiddenly..

this separation is not your failing,
but a collective forgetting.

when systems force us to function in a constant state of survival,
our deepest gifts, the ones the world most desperately needs,
remain buried beneath the noise of coping.

i do not offer escape, but remembrance.. not another obligation, but an invitation
to trust the innate knowing of your cells, waiting patiently for your return.

you are your greatest masterpiece

I offer coaching and consulting services that initiate and integrate lasting transformation for individuals and institutions.

ABOUT YOU

ABOUT ME

SPECIALTIES

EXPERIENCE

I have truly dedicated my entire life to my personal wellness journey, and very early on I heard the call to support the healing of others. Born into caregiving for my grandmother, I held my mother’s hand as she gracefully accepted her assignment and navigated early induction into sandwich generation status. I hold certifications as a Health Coach and Yoga Teacher, but my truest credential is having stumbled through the terrain you now traverse, knowing in my bones both the crushing weight of seemingly insurmountable responsibility and the relief of liberation that arises from defiantly prioritising wholeness in spaces that do not give permission to do so. For over three decades, I have served as a witness, and a testament, to the rebellious burgeoning that unapologetically takes root when souls reclaim their birthright of wellbeing.

Since I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the human body and how breathtakingly beautiful it is, in both its fortitude and in its fragility. My curiosity led me to explore all things that allowed me to experience and celebrate the body in all of its wonder, including dance, fitness, and figure drawing. As I blossomed, I turned towards Biological and Behavioural Sciences, majoring in Molecular Genetics and studying Cognitive Neuroscience. These disciplines gave context to my experiential movement practices and helped me to understand the even more intricately interwoven systems beneath our physical and emotional states. I looked to Science for answers, and for the great mysteries of existence that Science couldn’t explain, I reached to Spirituality. At the intersection of the spectra, between the procedure of Science and the philosophy of Spirituality, emerged the experience of transformation through the practice of Somatics.

Guided by the intuition to nourish my flesh and cleanse my spirit, I have dedicated myself to studying the benefits of culinary and medicinal plants. With my mother’s blessing, I became a vegetarian of my own volition before my tenth birthday, learning to adapt many nutritious recipes throughout my life. As an adult, the universe called me to the Amazon Jungle where I sat with Indigenous healers who shared the medicine of sacred plant teachers. Hungry for healing, I continued my search, and Yoga became my haven. As the meaning of the word Yoga expresses, the tradition weaves together a union of scientific procedure, spiritual philosophy, and somatic practice. This rich system provides a framework for a holistic approach to health that covers everything from nutrition to movement to ethics to divinity. Yoga, informed by Indigenous healing technologies from Africa and the Americas, provides the foundation of my healing practice.

My work is rooted in a deep sense of service. As a caregiver to caregivers, I am honoured to help those who support others in their personal and professional jobs to regain balance in their own lives. My approach to healing expands beyond a solely physical focus, offering a personalised holistic method that nurtures body, mind, and soul in perfect harmony. As a trauma-informed somatic practitioner, my coaching helps to illuminate pathways to embodied wisdom, sparking the wild journey of awakening to wellness and actualising lasting transformation.

Life has been a great teacher, leading me through many initiations and (re)connecting me with the wisdom of my ancestors. My mission is to make ancient philosophies accessible and immediately applicable through direct experience. Our work together is always deeply individualised, meeting you where you are and helping you to return to your innate knowing to realise your hidden potential. Rather than imposing a pre-scripted regimen, we co-create together, designing dynamic solutions that are responsive to your unique needs and evolving aspirations.

PHILOSOPHY

I wholeheartedly believe that we all have access to the deep inner wisdom to realise wellbeing if we have the proper space and support to find our way to it. Once we are able to remove the barriers and dissolve the illusions, we can come to know our healthiest states of being.

STYLE

I use a sensory-aware and trauma-informed approach that focuses on creating calming containers that are pleasant and predictable. I promote the use of physical and practical tools, such as stress toys and stimming, that help to foster a sense of comfort and safety through self-regulation.

ACTIVATIONS

Southwest Business Improvement District (2024–2025) | Washington, DC

I consulted with the Director of Public Spaces to design and install an outdoor sensory space and assemble 250 sensory sacs for a public event, and I offered coaching and education about sensory care to the leadership and operational teams of 25 people. Our gatherings became shorelines where community members laid down their burdens and remembered their shared humanity.

DC Startup and Tech Week, Magnetic Mosaic (2024) | Washington, DC

I led a team of wellness specialists and technologists who collaborated to build a sensory space for 100 attendees of the company's annual retreat. Each morning I lead yoga sessions, creating quiet spaces where executives could breathe between decisions, allowing mindfulness to become the silent foundation for their clearest thinking.

Consensys, The Zen Zone (2018) | Albufeira, Portugal

Reduced healthcare costs and increased retention when wellbeing becomes woven into how work happens, not just what you offer.

Lotus Vine Journeys (2016) | Tarapoto, Peru

I collaborated with community leaders and Indigenous healers to support 10 international retreat participants through plant medicine explorations. Interwoven between ceremonies and integration circles, I guided intimate trauma-informed restorative yoga and sound healing sessions, allowing for the embodiment of the wisdom transferred from sacred plant teachers.

QUESTIONS

Which offering(s) do I need?

You know best what you need. It may be more than one thing, and it will be different things at different times. Bring your curiosity to our consultation and we'll find the best place to start together.

What does a health coach do?

Mostly, we listen. A health coach's role is not to diagnose, treat, prescribe, or even to give advice. We use very powerful conversation techniques that are guided by principles of Positive Psychology to help people uncover intrinsic motivation and make lasting lifestyle changes. I will help you to turn fleeting wishes of wellbeing into actionable steps and walk beside you while you move towards transformation.

Is coaching the same as therapy?

While there are many similarities between coaching and therapy, and both sometimes use some of the same techniques, they are not the same. Therapy focuses on processing experiences of the past, and coaching focuses on planning experiences for the future. Therapy helps us to figure out why we behave the way we do, and coaching helps us to figure out how to change our behaviour.

Can I stop going to therapy once I start going to coaching?

Coaching can be a wonderful complement to mental health care, but coaching is not a substitute for mental health care. A health coach is not qualified to diagnose or treat mental health conditions, and this also means that a health coach is not qualified to determine whether or not a mental health condition needs treatment or what kind of treatment a mental health condition does or doesn’t need. It’s best to discuss decisions about changes to treatment plans with your primary health care provider.

Will you tell me how to be healthy?

Not exactly. What it means to “be healthy” varies widely from person to person, and we each get to determine this for ourselves. This is one of the fundamental guiding principles of health coaching. Together, we will explore what being healthy means to you, and you will word towards goals that reflect this vision of wellness. I’ll support you in designing an action plan for reaching your health goals, and I will amplify your accountability by walking with you as you step into the power of your wellbeing.

Can't I just do this on my own?

Something really magical happens when people connect for a shared purpose and work together towards common goals. Sometimes just knowing someone is there listening makes you feel safe enough for your nervous system to quiet down so you can just hear yourself think. You certainly can (and will ) do it on your own, but it helps a lot to have some support when you're getting started.

CONNECTION

Great transformations initiate at the tiniest gestures. Your return to wholeness requires not grand upheaval, but the simple courage to remember what has always been true.

Reach out for a dialogue of discovery. When you feel ready, we will explore what's possible when wellbeing is no longer reserved as luxury and is instead reclaimed as your most basic right.
