Somatic Healing and Embodiment Coaching

Bridging therapy and Somatics to help you come home to your body.

We store our life experiences in the body. Grief, trauma, stress, and even unspoken desires can live in our tissues long after the moment has passed then shaping how we think, feel, move, and relate to the world.

Somatic Healing & Embodiment Coaching is a holistic, trauma-informed, body-centered approach to emotional and nervous system healing. It focuses on how emotional pain, trauma, and chronic stress live not just in the mind, but in the body. It’s not about talking at your pain; it’s about giving your body the safety, tools, and rhythm to move through it.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, which explores your thoughts and stories, somatic therapy works from the “bottom up” supporting your nervous system, sensations, movement, and energy flow to help bring regulation, release, and reconnection.

Trauma often disconnects us from our body. We may dissociate, feel numb, or live in a constant state of hyper-vigilance without even realizing it. Somatic therapy helps you return to yourself gently, safely, and slowly.

This work supports you in reinhabiting your body, reconnecting to your innate wisdom, and reclaiming joy, agency, and self-trust.

Come home to your body. Reclaim your power.

My Approach

For most of my professional life, I supported others through insight and understanding. But at a certain point, during my own healing journey, I realized that no amount of talking could move what my body was still holding. I could analyze and articulate my trauma; yet I didn’t feel safe enough to feel it.

One of the hardest things I’ve ever learned to do was feel safe in my body.
Through yoga and the SAH Method (a blend of breath work, mantra, meditation, movement, and dance) I began to process emotions that had been frozen for years. The practice helped me move from intellectualizing my pain to embodying my healing, reconnecting me to my joy, intuition, and strength.

Now, I integrate my background in counseling, trauma-informed care, and somatic practices to help others do the same. My approach bridges the clinical and the spiritual; guiding people to release stored emotion, regulate their nervous systems, and remember their wholeness.

Whether in private sessions or retreat settings, I hold a compassionate space where movement becomes medicine. Each breath, beat, and gesture is an invitation to return home…to safety, to self, and to love.

My intention is to help others not just survive their stories, but move through them with grace and courage

one breath, one beat, and one dance at a time.

I have seen and experienced how yoga can be a key to psychological and emotional healing as well as resolving issues with self-confidence, relationships, and more; which is why in 2018, I decided to educate myself more and completed a 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training in Golden Bay, New Zealand and registered with Yoga Alliance.

As a trauma-informed yoga teacher, I guide practices that help you feel safe in your body again. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, or simply feel disconnected, my yoga sessions focus on:

Nervous system regulation through breath & movement
Restorative & somatic yoga to reconnect with felt sensation
Empowered embodiment through intuitive movement
Inner stillness & emotional release

This is not performance-based yoga. It’s a healing space to soften into presence and reclaim your inner rhythm.

I am also a certified Somatic Activated Healing (SAH) Method Facilitator and a member of the International Dance Council (CID), an organization recognized by UNESCO that supports dance education, research, and practice worldwide. The SAH Method™ is a powerful trauma-informed modality designed to release stuck emotions from the body through movement, meditation, breath, and dance.

As a certified SAH Facilitator, I guide you through a sequence that may include:

Somatic body keys
Trance & rhythmic dance
Breath activation
Dynamic meditation
Mantra & positive affirmation

This method works from the bottom up helping you shift the way you feel to shift the way you think. It’s non-invasive, deeply embodied, and transformational. You don’t need to “retell your story”, we move the energy instead.
