My journey has been shaped by the culture, the family, and the time and place that I was born into. When I reflect on my journey, I don't necessarily see it from my perspective as choices that I've made or things that I've done. It's more like the journey happening to me, and me being aware of signs, opportunities, and things that present themselves—and, most importantly, people that present themselves—and me being open or aware of those opportunities to advance and move forward.
My mission is to journey in attunement with suffering, to shepherd individuals and communities through trauma recovery—to create legacies that elevate humanity into greater coherence, harmony, and health. Healing from trauma, is not only possible—it is intrinsic to the body’s design. The body is all-knowingness and love. It remembers wholeness.
I am a Certified Intrinsic Health Coach, a Trauma Recovery Coach, a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), and a Certified Warriors at Ease (WAE) Teacher. With over 40 years of nursing experience—23 of those in hospice and palliative care—I support leaders and care providers in remembering their wholeness and integrating trauma in ways that co-create a future grounded in coherence, creativity, and compassion.
Trauma Recovery is a sacred journey. My approach integrates trauma-sensitive yoga and meditation, the practice of Transparent Communication developed by Thomas Hübl, and the deeply grounded framework of Trauma Recovery Coaching. This method recognizes how unintegrated trauma lives in the body and continues to shape the present—until it is seen, held, and metabolized.
Compassion is never fatiguing. What exhausts us is unintegrated trauma. What we often name as “help” in healthcare, education, and leadership is not helping. Systems designed to heal are replicating trauma by trying to fit new insights into old paradigms. We must go deeper.
**Intrinsic Health Coaching offers a new paradigm—one that honors the body’s innate intelligence and capacity to heal.** This approach recognizes that health is not the absence of symptoms but the presence of coherence, vitality, and relational attunement. Rather than fixing what is broken, we listen for what is emerging. We trust the body as a wise ecosystem—an expression of life’s original harmony—yearning to return to its natural state of balance.
While caring for Veterans at the end of life through the *We Honor Veterans* program, I bore witness to the lingering presence of undiagnosed PTSD—manifesting in the final weeks and days of life, when traditional treatment was no longer possible. What remained was presence, breath, and movement. This catalyzed my journey into trauma recovery through the body.
As a Certified Practice Group Leader with Thomas Hübl, I now lead others in the practice of Transparent Communication—restoring coherence in relationship and in community.
Trauma recovery is individual and collective. Healing is the portal through which we remember how to truly serve, how to lead, and how to love.
