My story
My adult life has been a series of inner queries of “what the fk is going on?”
If I’m so “successful” by my world’s standards, why do I feel so tired and sad? If I’m in such a picture perfect relationship, why does it feel so hard?
The normal answers never seemed to help me much. So I had to look deeper. And I looked so hard it became my profession.
It turns out I’m a highly sensitive, neurodivergent soul.
It also turns out that I’m not the only one.
So I’ve made it my business to share what I’ve learned in my 15+ years of professional study off the beaten path.
Those of us for whom the standard advice hasn’t worked need more. More embodiment. More detail. More custom-tailored solutions. More tenacity to keep going until we find solutions.
My work has spanned across a variety of arenas throughout my career–bodywork for managing chronic health problems, energy healing, spiritual and intuitive readings, trauma healing, infant nervous system care, dating and relationships.
I focus now on helping anxious-leaning sensitive souls find healthy love because I know that we humans need relationships to thrive. We need touch, we need pleasure, we need to be seen, we need to grow with others in community. The opposite of trauma is belonging and pleasure. Healthy relationships are an essential piece of that equation.
Those of us who grew up sensitive have typically had a harder time feeling comfortable in the world around us, including our relationships. We need healthy relationships more than ever. The pathway is there. We just need some support to keep walking it.
When I’m not hyper-fixating on some healing form or another, I’m frolicking in the woods, celebrating an ancestral Celtic holiday, or belting to a disney ballad.
