As a somatic coach, I partner with changemakers to access the innate wisdom of their bodies so that they can take consistent actions towards what they care about most.

At the end of 2020, I hit a wall of utter depletion. On the first morning of what was supposed to be a “vacation,” I woke up to an emptiness I had never felt before. I was hollow, depleted, and disconnected from myself.  My body was telling me something had to change. Between the pandemic, community care, family crises, and the loss of my beloved pet companion, I had given so much of myself in service to others that I had nothing left for me. Like so many changemakers, I was exhausted, in survival mode, and unsure how to keep going without abandoning my purpose.

That moment began my journey back home to myself.
I started asking questions that may sound familiar to you, too:
 
  • How can I honor my commitment to social change while caring for my own well-being?
 
  • How can I stay rooted in purpose when life feels overwhelming?
 
  • What practices do I need to help me transform and flourish, not just survive—while nurturing both myself and my community?

I discovered a new way of being. By listening to the innate wisdom of my body, I began:​
 
  • Building an intentional relationship with the Divine that extended to land and other-than-human being.
  • Redefining rest and productivity.
  • Learning the embodied language of boundaries and resilience.
  • Healing patterns that kept me stuck in cycles of depletion and self-abandonment.
  • Trusting intuition as the first language of wisdom.
  • Tending grief as a path to transformation.
 
This path of embodied, holistic well-being has sustained me for over a decade—and it’s what I now share with others through Freedom Dream Collective.
