I believe our cells, bones, musculature, brain, tissues, organs, spirit, and soul are interconnected and hold wisdom. It is possible to heal and grow through intentional exploration of these connections. By honoring the body’s needs, boundaries, and mystery, we can create the conditions that support our own transformation and growth, which hopefully extend into the transformation of the world. To do this, I listen and work with you to co-create a space that supports safety, courageous exploration, vulnerability at your own pace, and authentic expression.

I believe in your sovereignty. I trust what your body knows.

Each of us exists because there are people, lineages, and ecosystems who want more for us than violence, shame, and erasure. And more of us can exist in the future because of the commitments and actions we make each day. My work is rooted in healing our relationships across time, generation, lineage, and identity.

We all come from colonized and violent histories that have created healing and healthcare based on values, systems, and laws that punish, constrict, and displace people. Care is often commodified based on who is deemed “healthy” and not “healthy” and who is worthy of care based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, immigration, and class. Under capitalism, people are considered material goods, valued for what they can produce, consume, or be owned.

I am deeply invested in co-creating communities that are invested in taking care of each other instead of taking advantage of each other.  It is essential to me care is accessible in multiple ways, repairing our relationships with our bodies, our communities, and land, and undermining systems of oppression. 

I work towards providing care that is in integrity with healing justice, disability justice, and transformative justice principles.

As a Queer survivor of multiple forms of violence, my continued healing work with myself strengthens my commitment and capacity to hold depths of suffering that are complicated and contradictory. As I hold sacred healing space for others, I am deeply committed to my lifelong healing. I am in therapy every week and receive ongoing mentorship and coaching from my teachers.
