Professional Statement
I help you nourish yourself through integrating the parts of self that have been hiding. I do this through nervous system regulation and astrological wisdom.
This work is for you will help you feel safe in your body and to explore all of who you are.
I believe in giving space for your healing and allowing your process to unfold. I call myself a guide because I hold the space for you to explore, uncover, and work with your patterns. I support you in identifying the patterns of your nervous system. I help you to find ways to regulate yourself and allow yourself to feel nourished. My intention is for you to feel safe in your body and secure enough to express all parts of yourself.
To get to this place of wholeness, it is important to work with parts of self we have neglected or left behind. I love to work with the shadow and it is huge reason why I went back to school for counseling, to handle pain with more knowledge, expertise, and care. This work is not about quick fixes, growth and transformation is part of life.
I use the wisdom of astrology and its different energies to help you to identify and work with different parts of yourself. I see astrology and the birth chart as wisdom to guide you deeper into your healing and understanding your patterns of dis-regulation. Astrology is tool for uncovering aspects of self and bringing them into wholeness.
A few important things to know about me and my beliefs: I want to make the world a better place by helping people heal. I value my own human-ness and the human-ness in others. I value being honest and straight forward. I want to help humans live more in tune with their natural rhythms.
My work is rooted in connection, community, safety and security. I want to connect with you, know you, and support you. I want you to feel safe and held. I want every encounter to feel like nourishment for the soul and the hurting parts of self.
My work centers around healing. I do not view healing as the need to fix something wrong with you. I feel being a human can be traumatic. Healing is growing, evolving, and learning. Healing focuses on undoing patterns and programs that do not serve the life and version of self you desire.
When I experienced a sanctuary trauma, an experience of manipulation and harm in a safe and healing environment, it changed the way I interacted with each part of my life.
This experience caused me to shift the way I look at everything, specifically my business. It is what drove me to apply to graduate school for transpersonal and mindfulness based counseling. It is also what led me to complete my trauma certification.
I began to look at healing and growth from a different lens. I focus on combining the mystical (astrology) and practical (trauma and nervous system work) to guide you to embracing all parts of yourself. Spiritual tools are important but they only allow you to get so far. Working with your nervous system allows you to get deeper into the body and heal from the inside out.
There is no way I can fit everything I want you to know about me or what you desire to know on one page. I am very open and I am happy to answer questions you have about me, the way I work, working together, etc. Connection fuels me and I would love to connect with you.
Here’s what I know from my experiences; the life you want and the desires you have are meant for you. But if there is unprocessed trauma in a dis-regulated nervous system, it may feel impossible to have what you want and desire. I am here to guide you through your journey to a place of calm and safety.
