     I am so grateful for the practice of Somatic Experience. It has been transformative for me.

     Throughout my life, and I have lived many, whether it be as a student, employee, entrepreneur, or a single mother, internal turbulence was always present.   Despite my quality of life, I dealt with anxiety and struggled to cope with immense stress. Beginning in my early 40’s, my health started to deteriorate. I was exhausted and experienced debilitating symptoms. After going from doctor to doctor, I was diagnosed with many conditions, among them, Lyme Disease. This left me feeling desperate and searching for relief. Medication alone was not enough to “cure” me.

     I began to study holistic nutrition, mindfulness, meditation, and ways to retrain my brain. I also began seeing a Somatic Experience Practitioner. The combination of these modalities was vital in supporting me to regain a sense of peace and clarity.

     Realizing the incredible healing potential of SE, I began studying it. I was able to build capacity in my nervous system, release stuck energy, and reconnect with my body.

I now live and work as a Somatic Experience Practitioner in Los Angeles, California with my husband and 2 children.

My work as a practitioner includes supporting my clients to discover their innate ability to heal, increase their resiliency, and help them access more joy and synergy in their lives.
