About
As an embodiment and somatic sexuality guide, I help people access a deeper connection to body, sex and self. I assist people to unearth their bodies' innate wisdom, sensuality and wholeness. I have been called an “emotional widwife”, creating deep transformation in a safe and loving container. I have facilitated classes and workshops for the last 15 years in-person, online and internationally.
I draw from 20 years of embodied and somatic studies, Certified in the Deep Body Model , Certified Embodied Psycho-Sexual Practitioner, Certified Yoga and Meditation Instructor, Certified Holistic Health Coach through Institute of Integrative Nutrition with a Bachelor of Arts in Dance.
I am no stranger to being disembodied and disconnected from myself, my creativity, and my sexuality.
I was 20 years old, sitting on the coach of my extremely abusive boyfriend, drawing the floating head I had been sketching for months. I suddenly realized that I was the floating head, I had no sensation in my body from the neck down. I felt alarmed, when did this start?!
I literally felt completely numb. I was disassociated and disconnected. After experiencing multiple sexual violations throughout my life along with other early childhood traumas ~ I had developed an eating disorder, chronic gut issues, depression, a chronic pain condition in my womb and vulva, and was addicted to drugs and alcohol to cope with the pain.
I felt completely shut down, spiraling in destructive patterns of self harm. I was unable to fully express the creativity within me that so desperately wanted to come out, unable to feel pleasure in my body and unable to speak my truth or my boundaries. I knew I had to change my life.
I mustered the courage to end the abusive relationship despite threats and intimidation. I began pouring myself in to embodiment and somatic practice, holistic healing and using my creativity to help me process my pain.
In the process of coming back into my body, I encountered MOUNTAINS of physical and emotional pain. I had a level 10 pain in my body for 5 years, all day everyday. It was horrendous.
I didn’t wake up one day and say “Hey, I think I want to be an embodiment and sexuality guide….” I came to this profession through YEARS of learning and implementing techniques to heal myself.
Inside me lived a DEEP KNOWING that I could transform my TRAUMA to TREASURE and my PAIN to PLEASURE. I knew that if I could transform these challenges into my empowerment, I could, and WOULD help others do the same.
And that indeed, is what I have done!
I now experience profound amounts of pleasure and presence in my body, vibrant health and the full expression of my creativity. I am now living a life well beyond what I thought was possible.
I do still experience pain in my body, challenges and triggers, yet now I know to not see this as evidence of my brokenness or that there is something wrong with me... instead I know how to be with this pain in a loving way that transforms it and allows me to integrate another part of me into wholeness. As I do this, I continue to experience more pleasure, more aliveness and a deeper sense of home in myself, as I am, right here, right now. I have learned and developed highly effective processes to move through the challenges of life in a way that transforms pain to power and is what I teach my students, clients and community members.
A list of my certifications is below. In addition to my certifications, my work is infused with deep somatic awareness of Continuum Movement, and multiple sources of study of Intuitive Art, Emotional Healing, Shadow Work, Sound Healing, Trauma Healing, Intuitive Eating, and Gut Healing.
I fuse ALL of these tools into my offerings to support you in stepping into deeper EMBODIMENT, AUTHENTICITY, and PLEASURE!
If you feel that stirring inside and feel ready for support on your journey, I would love to connect with you and see if we are aligned fit to dive into your transformation together!
It is our greatest challenges in life that hold the seeds of our power, our medicine, our magnificence. When we have the courage be with our pain to receive the messages and wisdom held there ~ and then integrate this wisdom into how we live our lives ~ true empowerment and liberation is embodied.
This process is not meant to happen alone, as our greatest pain happens in relationship. Having a loving witness to our pain and our brilliance is key to integrating back into a sense of wholeness. Thus it is in supportive relationship that we find the keys to coming home to ourselves while also repairing our ability to connect with others.

When the desire of what we want is stronger than the fear of taking radical responsibility for our life, freedom is just around the corner. It starts with getting the support we need to make the changes we know we need make ~ knowing we can't, and aren't suppose to do it alone ~ then true transformation is only a matter of time, love and dedication to showing up. The freedom that is experienced on the other side is MORE than worth the journey.
