For as long as I can remember I’ve been a sensitive person. I’ve always been able to feel the depths and subtleties of the human experience. I think for many years I was unsure, and even afraid, of being my authentic, sensitive, self in the world. So I worked on developing other skills and ways of being. For over a decade I was a mechanical engineer in the aerospace industry. I was also a dancer, poet, and photographer. While trying to find the balance between work and play and checking the boxes of financial and emotional satisfaction, I still wasn’t finding fulfillment. When my health began to decline I finally woke up to the fact that this was not a sustainable way of living for me. I think sometimes we stray away from ourselves before remembering who we are. And on the road to recovery, the gentleness and care of a few wonderful somatic practitioners helped me remember who I am and opened me up to what was missing. For what felt like the first time, my sensitive nature was validated, valued, and reflected back to me, and with time, my health and life began to change. From a client to now a trained somatic guide, in this work, I feel like I’m finally being who I was meant to be; it feels like I’m finally home. And now I’m here to share this work with those on their own quest of authenticity and truth. If you feel called to connect, I’d be honored to meet you and support you on the journey to the place that feels like home for you.
