About Me
I know that there's a ton of benefit to be had spending time in helping-relationships like the ones I offer. My journey has always carried a questioning of how and why things are, a curiosity tinged with skepticism. Queerness put me outside of basic norms in a fundamental way and, despite the pain that came from a deep sense of non-belonging, there has also been a tremendous value in how much more I see. And I see a lot of suffering: our disconnection from nourishing social contact and touch, our grief for the parts of ourselves who never got (and may never get) what they needed, our estrangement from the non-human world and livings systems, our nearly inescapable beliefs in supremacies of species, culture/race, gender, and our sense of feeling separate from our own bodies. I have experienced all of this and have capacity to meet you in it too.
Like any life coach, I'm not licensed by a state agency. The value of my work comes from several sources: a deep lived experience in a highly sensitive body, full training in Somatic Coaching from the Strozzi Institute for Somatics, gifts of genuine presence and attention, whatever word there might be that captures both reverence and irreverence at the same time, a long walk in 12-step traditions and Buddhist meditation, dance and movement training, cross-cultural living and learning in Europe, Central America, and to a lesser extent, Asia/Oceania/Africa, psychedelic journeying, and a lifelong practice of conscious connection with the non-human worlds.
Who I am is best felt through actual contact with me. If you're finding yourself interested, schedule an intro call. Beyond the vibe-check, it's a chance for you to ask any questions that are important to you when working with vulnerable/intimate parts of yourself. I look forward to it.
