Hi !

Celebrating a Milestone: SE Certification & What It Means for Our Work

This fall brought a deeply meaningful milestone: I completed my final advanced training and received certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. The journey through years of study, practice, and case consults has been profound—equipping me with even more tools to support your healing process. I’m proud of this accomplishment and, just as importantly, I’m learning to pause and really honor it. If you struggle to celebrate your own wins, you’re not alone. Part of somatic work is noticing how celebration feels in the body—sometimes joy, sometimes discomfort—and tending to all that arises.

How I Support Your Healing Journey

Clients often tell me that my approach feels profoundly different from traditional talk therapy. I hold the process as sacred, deeply honoring your journey. My work weaves together somatic awareness, internal systems work, and a nuanced understanding of intergenerational patterns. This creates a unique, attuned space for you to access and process material that may have felt out of reach before.

Rather than imposing a path, I guide you to your own insights, helping you reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom. Clients leave sessions feeling seen, supported, and empowered—knowing the healing intelligence resides within them. This is not something done to you, but a process we facilitate together, honoring your whole being: mind, body, and spirit.

Tending Together: Free 30-Minute Community Sessions

Healing happens in connection, not isolation. Twice a month, I offer Tending Together—a free 30-minute Zoom circle to gently tend to what needs attention in body, mind, or spirit. Whether you’re new to somatic work or simply need a reset, you’re welcome to join. November sessions:

• November 6th – 4pm PT | 6pm CT 
• November 18th – 8am PT | 10am CT

Reserve your spot for any session through the Tending Together registration page.

Seasonal Workshop: Surviving the Holidays

The holidays can stir up old wounds, stress, and overwhelm. As a holistic trauma coach, I see how this season impacts not just our personal lives but our focus and relationships, too. My upcoming Surviving the Holidays workshop is designed to offer practical, body-based tools for calm and resilience. Join me online November 13th or 14th, or in person in Grand Rapids on November 15th at 9:30am.
