SOMATIC HEALING & EMBOBIED SELF-COMPASSION

So many of us struggle to feel as if we are enough, empowered, or free.

If you are living with chronic pain or illness, emotional eating or body–food struggles, or navigating life after breast cancer, you are in the right place!

I come to this work as someone who has navigated trauma, chronic illness, breast cancer, emotional eating, and long seasons of disconnection from my body. I understand the longing for safety, steadiness, and a more compassionate relationship with oneself.

    Healing Songs and Meditations

    These are gentle songs paired with nature imagery created as companions for moments when words alone aren't enough.

    Each song is written as a letter: spoken directly to pain, hunger, shame, the body, and nourishment — rather than about them.
