Waking with the sun, morning snuggles with my dog Finn, journaling, long walks, lighting a candle, tea, reading before bedtime

daily rituals

Researching, writing, having quiet moments in nature, following my curiosity, practicing somatic techniques

YOU CAN FIND ME

Being judgemental, dismissing emotions and lived experiences, valuing things over people, being unkind, late nights

I'M NOT ABOUT

Self-compassion, inclusivity, trauma-informed care, aspiring to live creatively, finding beauty in everyday things

I BELIEVE IN

My guiding principle has always been to help others feel heard, seen, valued, and supported.

My story began in December of 2012 as a single mom with young kids, when I was diagnosed with node-positive breast cancer. Fast forward to a few years back, and you'd find me treating breast cancer patients in the outpatient physical therapy clinic of a leading hospital.

For over a decade, I've dedicated myself to personal healing, professional training, education, and hands-on work. This path has led me to a profound understanding of the deep imprints a breast cancer diagnosis can leave on our physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Now, I'm grateful to share this knowledge, honoring the unique experience and needs of each person I work with.
