I believe in personal and collective liberation and, by taking your experiences, pain, and inner wisdom seriously, I aim to co-create a space of connection and safety in which we can untangle life’s intricacies.
We will explore what’s holding you back from living the life you want and develop new ways of moving through the world to help you feel calmer and more empowered to navigate whatever life throws your way.
