I believe that true transformation begins in the body. Through presence, deep listening, and touch, I guide others toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and connection, whether through embodied coaching or the healing art of Esalen® Massage.
Life has taken me through profound and life-threatening challenges; cancer (twice), the brink of death in childbirth, loss of my father, step-father and brother, and the long process of healing from emotional trauma. These experiences didn’t break me; they brought me closer to something essential. They taught me how to stay present in the unknown, and how to trust the quiet wisdom of the body.
There were moments, especially in the darkest hours, when I touched something beyond words: a vast, loving presence that held me. These experiences are not just part of my past, they’re the ground I stand on. This is the foundation of my approach: deeply present, awareness-based, and always guided by what is true in the moment.
