Maybe you feel like you’re hitting a glass ceiling, you have big aspirations and feel out of your element, or maybe your life looks great on paper but you feel a long way from yourself.
Maybe your scans came back normal and you still hurt. Maybe they didn’t, and you’ve been told to live with it.
Mon, Tue & Fri 10–6 in person · Wed 9–1 virtual
Where
In person on E Burnside in Portland, or virtually from anywhere. If getting to me is a challenge, I can arrange to come to you.
How long
Most sessions run 60 to 120 minutes. Your first bodywork session is a full 120, because it begins with an in-depth intake.
What it costs
Reiki sessions are $100, bodywork starts at $120, and coaching is $160 a session, with six- and twelve-session packages.
First step
A free 30-minute Connection Call. No pressure, nothing booked, nothing owed.
Your body has been asking for your attention
You’re recovering from an injury, training toward a goal, living with persistent pain, or simply longing to feel more at home in your body.
You’ve tried stretching, strengthening, resting or pushing through, and you’re still wondering why your body isn’t responding the way you hoped.
You’ve had procedures that were supposed to help, and maybe did temporarily, but pain returned.
Something in your life feels ready to shift
You’re tired of feeling like you have to earn your worth through productivity, perfection, performing or proving yourself.
Your mind understands what needs to change, but your body hasn’t quite caught up yet.
You’re craving authentic community where you don’t have to perform.
The answer isn’t necessarily doing more. Sometimes it’s doing differently.
Different in your body
Your body isn’t betraying you. It’s adapting, protecting, and trying to communicate. Sometimes the most supportive thing isn’t deeper pressure — it’s helping your nervous system process information differently.
The nervous system. How threat, stress and history shape what your body will let you do.
Movement and range. Assessment, then options — not forcing your body to do more, but helping it do what it can with greater ease.
Perception. Vision, balance and sensory input, drawn from both brain and body-based approaches.
Hands-on work. Swedish, deep tissue, sports massage, stretching and myofascial work — when that’s what will help.
I’m not attached to a technique. I’m attached to helping your body function in the way that’s most supportive for you.
Different in your life
Insight is valuable, but insight alone doesn’t change the way we live. This is where awareness becomes practice.
Your patterns. Noticing the ones you no longer want to live from, and choosing what comes next.
Your worth. No longer earned through productivity, perfection, performing or proving yourself.
Your choices. Letting them reflect your values more consistently.
Your people. Authentic community where you don’t have to perform.
My role isn’t to tell you how to live. It’s to walk beside you as you discover that you have more choices than you may have realized.

Ways to begin
The work we do together isn’t about choosing the “right” modality. We begin by noticing what feels loudest right now. From there, we’ll explore the practices, perspectives, and approaches that feel most supportive.
There is no need to rush. We simply begin with what is true today.
Rather than fighting your body, we’ll begin by getting curious about what it’s communicating and what it may need.
My goal isn’t simply to reduce pain — it’s to help create more possibility. More freedom to move. More comfort in your body. More options in how you live your life.

Energy sessions often invite stillness rather than conversation. Some people notice physical sensations, emotional shifts, images, memories, or a deep sense of rest. Others simply leave feeling lighter, more grounded, or more connected to themselves.
There isn’t a “right” way to experience this work. Sessions may include Reiki, meditation, visualization, ritual or reflective practices — always grounded in your comfort, your goals, and your lived experience.

We were never meant to navigate life alone. Community isn’t a luxury; it’s part of how we remember who we are.
There is no expectation to have the right words, the right story, or the right amount of healing. Only a willingness to show up.

It’s a pleasure to meet you
For a long time, I believed my job was to make life easier for everyone else, because I cared deeply that other people felt seen, supported, and cared for in a way I believe every person deserves.
From the outside, my life looked successful. Inside, I felt disconnected from myself.
Over time, I realized I wasn’t looking for someone to fix me. I was looking for a way back to myself.
My role isn’t to tell you who you are. It’s to walk beside you as you remember.
My training gives me tools. It doesn’t make me the expert on your life.
Read the longer version of my story →Ways we gather
We gather because every season deserves to be witnessed.
Women’s Circles, community gatherings, workshops and practices — and retreats, coming soon. You don’t have to be outgoing, deeply spiritual, or comfortable sharing personal stories.
Sometimes you’ll speak. Sometimes you’ll listen. Sometimes you’ll laugh until your cheeks hurt. All of it belongs.
Every month · Women’s Gathering
A monthly gathering of women, for women. Reflection, journaling, gentle guided conversation, movement and Reiki, in a trauma-informed and supportive space.
Details & registrationFree to keep
Tools you can use at home, at your own pace. Start with the Breathing for Real Life workbook.
Looking for my writing? Read Reflections →Free workbook
A free guided workbook for getting curious about how you breathe — and how your breath may be affecting the way you feel. No hour of meditation required. Asking for it also adds you to my email list, and you can unsubscribe any time.
If something in you feels curious…
Tell me what’s going on with your body or your life and what you’d like to change. I’ll explain how I work and whether I can help. If I can, great. If not, that’s okay too.
That first conversation is a free 30-minute Connection Call. No pressure, nothing booked, nothing owed.
