It All Began When I Said "Nope."

Nope to people pleasing, external validation, chronic anxiety and perfectionism.

I decided to say no to fear, not by further denying it, but by facing it and giving it a big hug.

Then I said YES to slowing down and trusting myself.


a little bit sweet and A little bit salty
And that, my friend, is why i'm here. To help guide you back to the land of the living.
i got you.

Morning quiet & meditation, bird watching w/ my boo Dace, workout & stretch, belting out ELO on my commute (it's a liiiiivin' thing!) 

daily rituals:

Leading breathwork sessions, taking copious notes, in the sunshine, dancing to 80's hits w/ my nephews.

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Comparison, apathy, keeping up with the jones's, binary thinking,  limiting beliefs.

I'm NOT ABOUT:

Nature therapy, growth mindset, energy out = energy in, compassion, helping you feel empowered.

I BELIEVE IN:

My superpower is helping you feel safe to flip the script, connect with yourself in a deeper and more meaningful way, and take your power back.

Breathwork and bodywork changed everything. 

Breath & bodywork changed everything. 

I get it, and I think you feel it too... our society is hell bent on keeping us in a box, feeling separate, and lost in a sea of superficial ahem... bullshit.

A life long learner, mover and change maker, I found myself at a crossroads in 2015. All the books, talk therapy, and courses weren't working. I was doing all the "things" and still felt numb and stuck. 

They allowed me stop fighting and reconnect to my body's wisdom. They guided me out of my head and into my heart. They taught me to trust in the innate ability we have to heal in the right circumstances and with the right people
