Welcome,

I'm glad you're here!

Learn about my story, how I made my way to somatic's, and what I offer the women who say yes to embodied healing.

Somatics found me...

I found somatic work at 18, still in university. Back then, I thought it was boring. I wanted to jump, spin, perform, to train hard for my dance career. Slowing down to feel my pelvic bones and subtle sensations felt like a waste of time.

After graduation, everything caught up with me. I was burnt out, living with chronic pain, and deeply depressed. My body felt like it was breaking down. That’s when I returned to somatics not as an option, but as a necessity.

My body has always been my teacher...

After graduating with a BFA in contemporary dance and sociology, I began Somatic Experiencing sessions and danced 5Rhythms every Tuesday for nearly five years, moving and processing what my body had been holding.

By 2017, while directing a disability dance company and performing professionally, I burned out again... this time with autoimmune illness, chronic fatigue, pain, and severe depression. I knew I couldn’t keep overriding my body. If I wanted to stay alive, I had to stop abandoning her and start listening.

Over the past 14 years, through the ups and downs I’ve studied somatic movement across Canada and the U.S., completed the three-year Somatic Experiencing® training, and pursued advanced study in relational and developmental trauma.

I found this work first as a receiver, then as a practitioner. I believe women need a profound cultural shift, and embodied healing is the way through.

A Different way of healing...

Most women I work with are intelligent, hyper-independent, perfectionistic, and deeply self-aware. They’ve done the inner work and know real change requires centering the body.

Sound familiar?

Many learned self-abandonment to stay safe. What once helped you survive may now be exhausting your nervous system.

Somatic Healing Arts isn’t traditional therapy, coaching, or quick fixes. This is slow, body-led work. We move at a pace that allows real integration meeting sensations, emotions, attachment patterns, and long-held defenses with curiosity instead of judgment.

I work with women devoted to their healing, willing to take responsibility for their patterns, nervous systems, and lives. This work is relational and long-term. Together, we build safety, attunement, honesty, and self-trust. I’ll call you back into your body, reflect what isn’t serving you, and invite you into deeper truth.

We laugh, create, dance, and meet life together.

This is a devotion. I walk alongside women as they reclaim an embodied life rooted in clarity, trust, and self-responsibility.

fun facts about me

I have always been devoted to God. I was raised Christian with missionary grandparents (my Mom was actually born in Nepal and lived there until age 8). I stepped away from religion in my late teens, and explored New Age spirituality over the past decade. In the last year and a half I’ve returned to a faith walk with God and Jesus that feels more embodied, loving, and warm than what I was raised with.

I have a wonderful, quirky husband named Eric, who I adore. We have known each other for 10 years...creating dance and music pieces together, hiking, enjoying simple things. We got married in Longview on August 23, 2025.

Nature and my dog, Opal, are my biggest resources. I walk a minimum of 60-minutes everyday to be with myself and to commune with Mother Earth. I aspire to do 3 pilgrimages in 2026 - the West Coast Trail, the Hildegard pilgrimage (one of my female inspirations from the 10th century), and the Yakushima trail in Japan.

My Method

The Somatic Healing Arts Way

  • Somatic Experiencing

  • Attachment Re-patterning

  • Embodied Touch

  • Somatic Parts

  • Inner Relationship Focusing

  • Dance

  • Somatic Movement

  • Vocal Toning

  • Desire based coaching

My somatic approach supports you to change your patterns by addressing where they actually live….in your body.

When your body learns a new way of being you stop repeating the cycle, AND MY LOVES you start creating the life you truly desire.

Dive deep With Me

  • Long-term somatic support and guidance

  • Re-pattern your nervous system and attachment system

  • Transform how you relate to yourself, others, and life

Part of my purposeful path is offering women portals for healing. Whether that's through 1:1 Somatic offering - 'HELD' - (the deepest offering you can enter into with me), my membership 'Wise Body', or my monthly in-person gathering 'Embodied Ritual'. Anywhere you choose to start will serve you to shift from bracing, burnout and disconnected from your intuition, needs and desire to feeling aligned with who you're actually meant to be.
