I know what it feels like to keep pushing until your body says, “Enough.”
After 17 years as a hairstylist and salon owner, I understand what it can be like to spend your days attending to other people. I also know, from my own experience, how easy it is to keep going without making space to notice what you need.
My own experience with somatic practices helped me relate to stress and overwhelm in a new way. Now, as a coach, I offer a space to slow down, notice what’s happening, and explore what matters to you and what choices feel possible.
I’m an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) and Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), trained through the Co-Active Training Institute. My approach is grounded in Co-Active coaching and informed by somatic awareness and yoga-informed practices, as well as ongoing coursework in somatic approaches to anxiety through The Embody Lab.
