The body remembers.

From the moment we are born, we meet the world through sensation—
As infants we are rocked, soothed by song,
feel joy ripple through us
and are comforted by the rhythms of a heartbeat, not our own.

As we grow, we carry those early rhythms in how we hold ourselves,
in how we move, express, and protect.
We’re taught to silence big feelings—
to behave, to suppress—
but the body keeps speaking.
It clenches, trembles, softens, expands.
It tells the truth even when the mind cannot.

Our bodies and minds are in constant conversation.
What we feel can shape what we think;
what we think can shape how we feel.
This flow moves in both directions:
from mind to body—top-down,
and from body to mind—bottom-up.

Talk therapy often begins from the top down,
helping us understand and organize our inner world.
But healing can also rise from the ground of the body—
through sensation, breath, movement, and awareness.

In body-centered, or somatic therapy,
we listen to the subtleties of the nervous system,
the gut feelings, the tight throat, the heavy chest—
and begin to understand ourselves from the inside out.
This awareness helps regulate, restore, and rewire—
so we don’t just survive,
we live more fully, honestly, and freely.

Science shows that tuning in to the body
awakens the part of the brain linked to empathy,
kindness, and connection.
The more we feel ourselves,
the more we can feel with others.

The body does not lie.
It holds our pain, our resilience, and our becoming.

I offer a space to explore this wisdom—
especially for those navigating trauma, anxiety, depression,
disordered eating, or a disconnection from self.

Drawing from dance, somatic practice, and body-mind psychotherapy,
I bring presence, curiosity, and compassion.
I work with your unique rhythm,
helping you reconnect with your body’s intelligence
so you can feel more whole,
more alive,
and more at home in yourself.
