About Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a therapy technique created by Dr. Peter Levine. It involves understanding how emotions exist in the body and nervous system. Sensation is like a language that the body uses to communicate with us. Somatic practices can teach you how to listen to these signals.
Using a combination of somatic tools, I guide my clients toward a deep presence and awareness of bodily sensations. This process is slow and gentle, allowing for the release of traumatic energy and associated emotions. Together, we will explore the messages that your body has to offer, giving you more space to express your true self.

About Breathwork
The breath is a truly powerful tool that is often underestimated, but it can be accessed at any time. With breathwork, one can loosen the grip of the rigid, logical mind and enter an altered state of consciousness with expanded awareness. This state can help release emotions that may be inaccessible in ordinary waking consciousness.
In my practice, I combine circular breathing with carefully curated music to enhance the experience. This technique can help you become fully present and connected to yourself, letting go of any preconceived notions about your experiences.
It's important to note that breathwork may bring up intense emotions or physical sensations. As a highly empathic and trauma-informed practitioner, I provide exceptional guidance and support throughout the breathwork process and during the integration phase.
Honoring the Origin of These Practices
These powerful tools and teachings have ancient roots, passed down through the lives of BIPOC. As an ambassador of this sacred wisdom, I aim to continue learning, listening, and elevating the voices of BIPOC healers. These methods are truly not mine to give, and I stand in full gratitude, support, and reciprocity.
“I have come to the conclusion that human beings are born with an innate capacity to triumph over trauma. I believe not only that trauma is curable, but that the healing process can be a catalyst for profound awakening—a portal opening to emotional and genuine spiritual transformation.”
