Maybe what you really want to know is — Can you trust me to hold you here?
I draw from a wide lineage — formal education, professional training, and years of embodied practice — but also from the art of listening deeply, especially when you don’t yet know what’s wrong.
Formally, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Community Development & International Sustainable Aid, with a focus on resilience, systems change, and the emotional layers of social justice. I’m a Certified Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapist (The Embody Lab), trained in elements of Somatic Experiencing, the Hakomi Method, and Internal Family Systems, with guidance from teachers including Richard Schwartz, Pat Ogden, Dr. Scott Lyons, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, Nkem Ndefo, and Dr. Albert Wong.
I’m also a trained Yoga Therapist through Ashley Turner’s Yoga Psychology program — bridging psychology and body-based practices — and certified in Ayurveda Wellness Coaching through Shakti School. My current studies include a Graduate Diploma in Psychology and an Advanced Diploma of Neuroscience for Leadership, expanding how I integrate brain-based leadership, resilience, and nervous system science into this work.
Since 2016, I’ve been practicing and teaching nervous system–based approaches, and I’m trained in psychological safety implementation under ISO 45003 — frameworks essential for leadership, workplace wellbeing, and reducing burnout risk.
Beyond the credentials, what shapes my work most is this:
The way I sit with you in the not-knowing.
The way I don’t rush your clarity, grief, or becoming.
The way we move at a pace your body can actually hold.
Because qualifications matter — but what matters most is that you feel safe enough to let change happen.
