I grew up in rural Colorado with parents who meditated twice a day. I was embarrassed at the time while now I know the dedication that requires. I'm an introvert and was extremely shy as a child, I didn't know the term highly sensitive person, but it does capture me pretty well. I grew up in personal development workshops and read self-help books obsessively. Now I finally feel that all the threads of my interests and training weave together and make sense. Parenting + music + movement + crafting + herbalism + gardening + hiking and spending time in nature= my life and I'm so thankful. I'm also sure the creative writing and art will circle back in more fully soon. I set out to become a life-coach to have a culturally approved stamp on the somatic work that I was already doing and got one better in a map and modality that I find really useful and love. I also love the way that life coaching can help in hard times as well as helping find greater and greater levels of integrity that are possible in a life that is already good. I love the way life coaching paired with somatic work can go deep into places that are stuck and gently unravel the tangle. I'm here in service of humanity and working to create a world that I feel good about my child growing up in. I'm here to help this social species that we are have other versions of culture in safe spaces where self-expression is celebrated, feelings are welcomed and authenticity is supported.
