I am a certified Somatic Practitioner working with adults and children who have conflicts around developmental trauma, sexuality, and relational issues. My strengths are my ability to create a safe and attuned environment for clients to have deep healing and trauma resolution. I combine somatic skills with an intuitive style, and the use of light touch and movement to help clients self-regulate and stabilize their nervous systems.
I have over 35 years of experience working as an educator, body worker and personal coach. I started out in the field of Early Childhood Development and hold a Montessori credential from the Maria Montessori Teaching Center in San Francisco.
I have been a teaching assistant in Somatic Experiencing trainings in California, Australia, Turkey, Japan, and Korea. I have participated in workshops with Twig Wheeler's Somatic Experiencing Intensive, Peter Levine’s Eye of the Needle, Resilience and Regulation, and Ray Castellino's Womb Surround Process workshops; and have assisted in Attachment Wound Healing: Pre and Perinatal; and the Sexual Embodiment workshop series with Ariel Giarretto and Tom Callahan. I have an ongoing private practice in Sebastopol, California.
