Hi, I’m a Certified Somatic Release Breathwork Practitioner ™.


Are you experiencing anxiety, fear, sadness, or overwhelm that feels stuck in your body? You are in the right place. I am here to compassionately hold space for you as I guide you on your personalized journey to express and release trauma and pain from the past and present. Trauma and stress often stay in our bodies long after an event has passed, held as tension and emotional pain. Through gentle guidance, I help you reconnect with your body’s natural ability to process and release these stored experiences, facilitating significant shifts in your emotional and physical well-being.


What is Somatic Intervention?

Somatic-based interventions facilitate the reconnection of your mind back to the intelligence of your body. This is a powerful practice that uses intentional, deep breathing techniques to release stored tension, trauma, and emotions in the body. By focusing on the connection between breath and bodily sensations, it helps individuals access a state of self-awareness and deep healing. 


Somatic Breathwork

A somatic breathwork treatment involves intentional breathing techniques, insightful questions, music, and space to express and release any stuck emotions.  When stress isn’t processed, it becomes “stuck,” leading to persistent symptoms like hypervigilance, numbness, or a constant sense of overwhelm. By addressing these stuck elements directly, this treatment process helps unlock and reset the nervous system. Together, we’ll safely observe and engage with your body’s physical sensations, allowing stored trauma to be released in a supportive and compassionate way. This process releases you from cycles of stress that may be dominating your life, restoring a sense of calm and resilience.


Working together, you’ll discover a transformative path to deeper self-connection and renewed vitality. As you release long-held tensions and trauma, you will notice greater ease in your relationships, expanded self-awareness, and a richer capacity for joy. My approach not only relieves symptoms but opens the door to new levels of consciousness and emotional freedom. Somatic Breathwork is a unique and effective body-based treatment validated by modern research, offering a reliable way to achieve lasting change.


If you’re ready to move beyond the limitations of anxiety, depression, or trauma, I’d be honored to help guide you toward a life of deeper peace and fulfillment. Looking forward to working with you!
