My exploration of the inner realms has had two entry points: dance and psychotherapy. My teen years were spent storytelling through movement, expressing the emotions that I had no language for through the words and sounds of another.
Grief released through an arch of the head, joy expressed through a lift of the arm, confusion embodied through a rotation of the shoulder.
I developed a relationship and fluidity with energetic release in relation to the lyrics of a song. But I lacked a connection with myself, with my own story and how it lived in my own body. I lacked energetic containment.
University came with the privilege to learn from Indigenous professors who offered language to my experience. I was introduced to concepts of holism, inter-generational experiences, community healing and spirituality. Their words felt True.
For ten years I’ve followed that same thread of Truth. I’ve immersed myself in trainings on energetics, somatic (body-oriented) and transpersonal (spiritual) psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, psychodrama, breath work and meditation. I dive into these in My Approaches on the home page.
All of these teachings have offered a rich tapestry of wisdom and practices, and energetic and spiritual orientations that offer me so much more movement within my own body and energetic field. I now have a connection to the rhythm and flow of my own story.
I guide my clients towards the cultivation of their own inner wisdom and the reintegration of their feminine power. Each client is their own unique universe and I do my best to unearth the right tool for the right time.
My work has been described as the wild woman of the old brought into the realm of the new, a carrier of fire, of that ferocious feminine energy that is at once engulfing and healing. Paradoxically, it’s been described as subtle, gentle and nurturing.
Mostly, clients speak of the non-judgemental and non-traditional space that’s created, and how it invites all aspects of their being into the room. The light and the shadow. The mess and the funk. All have a seat at the table.
