You’re Here for a Reason
Maybe your body is speaking to you in ways it never has before … through pain, fatigue, or emotions that surge without warning.
Maybe you’ve hit a life stage where there’s suddenly more space… and all the things you’ve ignored for decades are catching up.
Or maybe you’re in a relationship where the person you love seems to have two versions … one deeply present, one distant or reactive … and you feel like you’re losing yourself.
If any of this feels familiar, I’ve been there.
And I know the way through.
My Story
I was born into a split field of love … a father absent, a mother both fiercely devoted and volatile. I learned early to track subtle shifts in energy. My safe harbor was my grandparents, especially my grandmother’s steady, loving presence.
Childhood brought both beauty and trauma. Abuse and unsafe environments existed alongside moments of joy, road trips, and my mom cheering from the sidelines of every soccer game. That duality shaped my ability to hold both pain and love at the same time.
As a teen and young adult, I lived in survival mode … overworking, collapsing, numbing. Motherhood at 21 anchored me in devotion, but also pressed me deeper into patterns of self-neglect. My body began to speak through migraines, tension, numbness, and unexplained symptoms.
Yoga cracked something open. Ayahuasca in 2019 deepened it. Teachers arrived at each threshold:
• Channa Dassanayaka — holding me through the first awkward seasons of being with myself.
• Isa Gucciardi — showing me how to work with dreams as living guides.
I trained in Eastern and Western bodywork, energy medicine, ashtanga, kundalini and yin yoga, applied shamanism, understanding dreams, and neurodynamic breathwork. But my greatest training came from lived experience … from the “two-version” dynamic I experienced with my mother and later in a long-term partnership. I learned to reclaim my energy, integrate my own “split” parts, and stand in unwavering self-trust.
Today, I live as a bridge between worlds … grounded in the body, fluent in energy, and devoted to helping others meet themselves exactly where they are.
The Medicine I Carry
• Pattern Tracking Across Realms — mapping the symbolic, emotional, physical, and relational threads that shape your life.
• Sacred Rage + Tender Devotion — holding the full range of emotion without bypassing or collapsing.
• Body as Oracle — listening to fascia, meridians, and sensation for guidance.
• Reciprocal Healing Field — working without hierarchy; each session is a two-way exchange.
Who I Work With
I work with people across a wide range of life stages and circumstances, because the patterns I’ve transmuted in my own life live far beyond one demographic.
Some examples of where my work is especially powerful:
• Women navigating body thresholds — from teens just beginning their menstrual cycles, to those entering peri/menopause, to elders wanting to reconnect with movement and vitality. I bring a reframed lens to these cycles — seeing PMS as Ceremony week, menopause as a time to burn away distortion, and offer practices to help you move with their initiatory power.
• People ready to move from self-doubt into self-trust — If you’ve lived in a loop of second-guessing yourself, looking for outside validation, or feeling disconnected from your own truth, I can guide you into the kind of deep inner confidence that becomes unshakable.
• Those in complex relationship dynamics — especially when a partner or family member has “two versions” of themselves, and you find yourself depleted or paralyzed. I can help you reclaim your energy, integrate your own protectors, and meet the dynamic without losing yourself.
• Individuals recovering from survival mode — Whether you’ve lived decades ignoring your body, worked in high-speed careers, or been a caregiver, I meet you where you are and guide you toward balance, presence, and vitality.
• Teens at formative thresholds — Helping young people build a right relationship with their body, dreams, and emotions early, so they can move through life with more stability, self-awareness, and choice.
My Approach
Every session is a conversation between your body, your energy, and your truth.
I blend Eastern and Western bodywork, breathwork, yin yoga, and symbolic tracking.
We move at the pace of trust … following your body’s consent, not forcing change.
Some sessions include dream decoding, pattern mapping, or simple daily practices to support integration between visits.
This is not about fixing you.
It’s about remembering yourself.
If You’re Feeling the Pull
I offer in-person sessions, personalized practices, and deeper mentorship containers.
You don’t need to “be ready” … we start where you are.
If you feel called, I invite you to book a session or a free 15-minute call to explore what’s possible.

Teachers & Mentors
• Channa Dassanayaka —Founder of Uniting Awareness, Channa entered my life at a crucial threshold… when I was first learning how to be with myself after a lifetime of survival and speed. His presence was steady, non-performative, and utterly humble. He taught not through force or explanation, but through how he holds space. Even with limited English, his transmissions were clear. I had to feel him, not analyze him, and that was part of the teaching. His work draws from decades of deep practice across Sri Lanka, Australia, and Bali, rooted in the unity of body, breath, and awareness. His silent clarity helped me listen more deeply to my own. I consider him a living reminder that healing doesn’t need theatrics. It needs presence. And love.
• Isa Gucciardi, Ph.D — Creator of Depth Hypnosis and founder of the Sacred Stream Foundation, Isa’s work was a turning point in my path. Through her, I found language and structure for things I had already been experiencing: symbolic dreamwork, soul retrieval, energy medicine, and the sacred intelligence of the unconscious. Her teachings don’t live in the intellect alone… they ask you to feel, to track, to listen. What I appreciate most about Isa is how she bridges ancient traditions (shamanic, Buddhist, energetic) with grounded, applicable tools that you can actually use to meet your life. Her body of work helped me build deeper relationship with my dreams, navigate soul contracts, and honor the sacred design of this life… exactly as it is.
• And the greatest teachers of all: my son, my family, my lineage, my clients, and every human vessel that has reflected me to myself.
