Can I get a witness? 

I chose this career because I’ve seen the power in having an attuned, compassionate, curious witness and how much that supports our inner journey. We aren’t meant to hold the ups and downs of life alone— our well ancestors never did. That was never part of the plan. The nurturance, polishing, and unraveling of the soul requires witness. I appreciate creating a space where you can arrive with anything that weighs you down, or troubles you and walk alongside you through the muddle— to the other side.

I get it:

I understand what it’s like to feel your identity shifting with age, life events, and trauma. I know the pain of meeting grief and finding nothing makes sense anymore and feeling the longing of a loved one. I know how anxiety can take over the body and stop you from living peacefully and freely. I understand how depression can make it feel like joy is worlds away. I know what it’s like to move to a new country and start a life— the funny awkward moments, and the stressful overwhelming ones.

I resonate with having a creative and sensitive spirit and all that comes with this path.

I know what it’s like to cultivate a relationship with plant medicine and want someone to guide you through the process.

I know what it’s like to be in the seat as a space holder and navigate the ever evolving nature of this role. I know what it’s like to challenge systems and get reacquainted with ancestors, indigenous roots, and lineage. 

How we work together:

I see your struggles and there are tools to support you to move through this with tenderness, curiosity, and support. I didn’t choose my specialty by accident— I’ve seen the mixture of Internal Family Systems, Somatic Practices, village mind, tending grief, and getting in rhythm with the living world to support hundreds of clients. Together, we will weave together these practices in session so you may find more internal clarity, more safety in expressing your emotions, and relief little by little.

We will collaboratively create a set of intentions so there is a clear roadmap for our time together. Intentions allow you to show up to the healing ground with reverence, respect, and focus. Even here, there is spaciousness to always adjust your focus. We sit together at a pace that meets you exactly where you are. 

Elements that support healing and growth:

What I have found is—we must be present and embodied in the therapy room/healing circle/work with plant medicine/tending grief, etc. It is more about remembering our worth and belonging rather than creating it. It’s not a path to walk alone. Our healing and well-being directly impacts the health of our communities and villages. Our connection with the living world is a key factor in well-being. The therapy room is not big enough for what you are holding— we also need relations with our elders, ancestors, and the village; (sitting in circle with one another). 

Trauma (rough initiation) does not define you— they are moments in time which lacked a loving witness and you have the capacity to be that for all the parts of you, alongside the support of a witness and the circle. These wounds can be healed and you can come out on the other side with stronger roots, more surety in yourself, an open heart, and more life force moving through you. Your soul is just waiting to express and the more you slow down and be with what arises, the more polished, expressed, and soft your soul becomes.
