If you’ve seen me dancing joyfully on social media, you might not guess the path I’ve walked to get here. Just like you or anyone, my life hasn’t been all rainbows and unicorns—I’ve journeyed through burnout, depression, chronic anxiety, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders. In my early twenties and again in my early thirties, I found myself adrift, disconnected from my own essence after heartbreaks and deep grief. Over time, I discovered something transformative: our darkness can be as powerful and illuminating as our light.

One of my most cherished teachers, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, founder of Body-Mind Centering (BMC), taught me to embrace suffering as a doorway to deeper wisdom and presence - "do not waste suffering" as she often says. This insight reshaped my healing journey.

Healing, I learned, isn’t something we find “out there.” It lives within us, especially in the parts we often ignore or suppress. At its core, healing for me is about connecting with a deeper, powerful dimension—the light of the soul itself. Orienting toward wholeness is an orientation toward the soul, where we come to glimpse the soul of the world. This path of healing becomes ecological, moving us from an ego-centered to an eco-centered consciousness.

I’m now orienting both my work and personal practice alongside the profound teachings of Body-Mind Centering and Continuum, a movement discipline created by Emilie Conrad, whose view of movement as our very nature continues to guide and inspire me. Through somatic self-inquiry, I’ve come to see this as an ongoing, living path—one I’m deeply committed to walking and sharing with others.

My calling as a guide in somatic work has led me through numerous certifications, including:

• Integrative Somatic Parts Work (16hr) with Fran D. Booth (2021)
• Qigong Immersion for Yoga Teachers (20hr) with Mimi Kuo-Deemer (2021)
• Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training (100hr) with Atira Tan & Gemini Adams (2020)
• Tai Chi for Longevity and Health (50hr) with Keith Good (2018)
• Usui Reiki Master and Teacher Certification with ShantiJi (2017)
• Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training (200hr) at Shiva Tattva Yoga School (2017)

I am now expanding my somatic practices repertoire to include oriental dance, which offers a playful, creative outlet that celebrates self-expression and improvisation—qualities I find essential to somatic discovery and healing.

When we work together, it’s not about “fixing” anything; it’s about reconnecting with the parts of yourself you may have forgotten and rediscovering that your wholeness has always been within you. I’m here to guide you in this process, helping you shift how you see yourself and your life.

Imagine stepping into a space where you’re no longer striving to fix yourself but instead learning to embrace every part of who you are.

This is more than coaching; it’s a partnership in rediscovering your true self, and I’m here for you every step of the way.
