Somatics changed the way I show up in all spaces in my life - organizing, family, work, and community. I found somatic practice when I realized that I had disconnected from my authentic decision making and values-aligned strategy.
My professional goals have always been service and impact driven, towards liberation and resilience for undervalued & underserved communities.

But even within a context of service, my deepest decision making was coming from focusing on the right move or making the correct choice that would make people see me/my work as successful.

The problem was, when I achieved those successes, it still wasn’t enough to satisfy me internally. Somatics helped me move down into my body to feel for what’s right instead of trying (and failing) to figure it all out in my head. 

Somatics improved my ability to identify, name, and metabolize all kinds of feelings, instead of my old pattern of disconnecting and “pushing through”. And it is helping me to shift closer to my longings to be a part of radical, creative, impactful work to get all of us more free. Because…

• I wasn’t going to think my way out of the limitations that have shaped what I believe my life and relationships can be like

• I’ve never been able to think my way out of feeling disconnected from others, and sensing that there’s a way that I have turned away from connection, not knowing another way

• Showing up more grounded + leaderful in conversations that get my heart racing has come from my embodiment, not from my brain

We have to act. We have to practice new ways of being. Getting into our bodies and emerging new ways of  relating to ourselves, our relationships, and our mission-driven work in this lifetime is the path I’m on to move us towards liberation.

So now, for me, what does that mean?

I support mission-driven professionals and leaders to connect with their inner compass (vision, alignment, and presence) especially during times of transition, complexity, or growth. My coaching integrates somatic practice with strategic thinking, offering a grounded, client-driven environment to explore what’s happening in your body, behavior, and leadership style. Whether you’re navigating change, managing high-pressure responsibilities, or looking to show up with more impact and ease, I bring deep listening, cross-cultural fluency, and a calm, focused presence. I specialize in helping people lead with greater self-awareness, relational intelligence, and values-aligned action.

My experience includes a decade in leadership roles across the humanitarian and arts nonprofit sectors; serving as Chief of Staff to Judith E. Glaser, a world-renowned coach for executive leaders; managing international placemaking programs; supporting leadership development with Burners Without Borders; and collaborating with Indigenous-led initiatives and community-based organizations. I also bring experience from the psychedelic wellness field, where I’ve experienced and supported frameworks for personal and collective transformation through altered states and expanded consciousness. I’ve lived, studied, and worked in over fifteen countries — and have worked with leaders and teams at every scale, from grassroots nonprofits to global organizations. This diverse background informs my ability to think strategically, partner creatively, and support you in navigating complexity and change. If you’re looking for space to reflect, reset, and lead from within, I’d be honored to support you.
