hello love, i’m so glad you found your way here, to me today. i hope you take your time reading through my site, noticing what comes up for you via thoughts, memories, sensations, emotions, what resonates and what doesn’t.
for some of you, a sense of quiet calm, skeptical curiosity, or odd pull might emerge. if you find yourself resonating or curious, i invite you to reach out for a free chat to see what a working relationship together could be like.
does this sound like you?
lying awake replaying a conversation for the hundredth time—trying to figure out why you said yes when you meant maybe, why you apologized when you didn’t mean it and felt hurt, why you keep disappearing yourself for peace, stability, protection, or love. you can see the pattern now, maybe have even thought of dozens of ways to transform it, but you still feel stagnant.
you’re honest about the collapse of amerika, and you’re being called to do, be, and respond differently—and you don’t know what that looks like yet.
you’ve learned to doubt your own knowing. the dread, the pull, the sudden clarity, the deja vu—you’ve been taught to recognize your body’s cues as just trauma, anxiety, dysregulation. and sometimes, they are. but somewhere along the way we learned to mistrust the intuition of our body, too, recognizing it as a symptom instead of as a compass.
feel on the edge of radical transformation and want a grounded guide to support you through it
or maybe you:
are disabled, COVID-competent, chronically suicidal, mad, neurodivergent, plural, queer or living at some other intersection where care has too often been conditional, inadequate, and harmful— and you’re exhausted of translating yourself to be understood
have spent years in therapy and still feel like there’s no space for your spiritual self, your ancestors, your astrology, your whole multidimensional being. i didn’t find room for all of me there, either—it’s part of why i left the field, and part of why spirituality is central to this work, not an add-on.
you’re a healer yourself, tired of holding it together with force, ready for support with real depth and integrity.
are ready to love and transform the cop and critic and judge inside your head
if so, welcome!
Something inside you is asking for change and you’re longing for a new container for that growth.
maybe you already know that change and transformation are rarely linear. I speculate that it happens in a spiral.
we return to the same inner places again and again—but each time with more breath, more capacity, more contact with truth. our return isn’t failure but a fermentation of sorts.
each time you return, you’re not circling, you’re spiraling. you’re carrying something—a partial, real but not yet whole truth, like an imaginal disc. the caterpillar carries these tiny cells that are dormant but present, waiting to be asked to grow into an antennae or wing.
when we intentionally spiral inward and explore our inner ecosystems, finding and knowing the possibility in our imaginal cells and holding our present moment and self with radical tenderness, we practice revolutionary, liberatory relating,
this inner cartography and soulful embodiment is not gentle, magical work, and you know that. the journey of transformation can have periods of darkness, confusion, questioning, self-doubt, complete dissolution of ego and identity. but you also probably have this knowing that you will bloom into something radically, beautifully new. and with a guide, you won’t go through it alone.
by spiraling in, we can time travel and connect to past, present, and future you to nourish and resource your transformation and strengthen your self-trust,
our work is having faith in the timing, listening to the cues of your bodymind, and tending the conditions that support your growth.
this work tends to be a strong fit if you’re someone who:
knows how to function while disconnected, read the room before entering it, or override your own needs to feel safe—and want to live more honestly
is a healer, helper, or caregiver yourself, wanting support with real depth and integrity
wants to bring your spiritual, ancestral, and astrological self into this relationship, not just your symptoms
is queer, trans, neurodivergent, disabled, or deeply feeling, and craving someone who really sees and celebrates you
this is the kind of change work i offer.
as a whole-hearted embodiment/life coach, liberation doula, and healing guide, i offer virtual parts work, spiritual, and somatic coaching for adults across the United States and world.
i know that change happens when we become more curious about our inner world and choices, rather than fighting ourselves.
i weave parts work, somatic practices, mindfulness, relational approaches, deep human realness, and liberation-centered frameworks to help people build trust with themselves.
i work with the careworkers, artists, organizers, healers, lovers, and dreamers of better futures trying to survive the present.
i work with people who know, deep down, that they have something meaningful to contribute to the world but may feel taxed by how much energy surviving and caring has required.
if you feel a longing to trust yourself more, to live with greater alignment and integrity, to feel less divided inside, and to participate more in your life, i think you were meant to find me today.
what it feels like to work together
folks often tell me our work together helps them feel and act more like themselves. this doesn’t happen because i give great advice.
your growth happens because we cocreate enough trust and curiosity for your knowing to emerge.
i do ask unusual questions that get to the heart of a thing. i notice subtle shifts in energies. i trust silence, laugh easily, and welcome tears (and shed some of my own). i know delight belongs in changework as much as grief does.
we’ll slow down enough to listen to our nervous systems.
we’ll listen for the parts of you that have been carrying impossible responsibilities.
we’ll explore the stories and somatics you’ve inherited from your family, your communities, and the systems you’re surviving.
together, we practice repair instead of perfection, relationship instead of domination, and choice instead of automatic survival.
you’ll cultivate the kind of inner trust that ripples outward—into your relationships, your creativity, your work, and farther than you might ever know.
if you’re a previous client who’s found me again, our work might feel both familiar and very fresh/new in this container. reach out if you’re curious if we’re aligned and ready to connect again.

if something inside you has been whispering, or screaming, there has to be another way to live,
i’d be honored to spiral and metamorphose alongside you.
Frequently Asked Questions
i value informed consent! here’s some frequently asked questions and answers. i welcome other questions via the contact form below or through requesting a free consultation.
-
soulful embodiment is the lifelong practice of excavating wounds of internalized oppression and interpersonal violence, and repairing these relationships—between your body and mind, bodymind and soul, your inner world and your outer life. this type of coaching is therapeutic and practical and spiritual and is not clinical psychotherapy.
-
therapeutic astrology focuses on centering your soul’s growth and healing, drawing on the supports, themes, and challenges of your natal chart. the purpose of these consults is to increase insight, agency, and willpower to bring one’s own natal gifts into practice.
-
no, I am no longer a licensed therapist and am intentionally an unlicensed practitioner. i’m not here to assess, diagnose, or medicate you—but to guide, witness, and invest in your spiritual growth.
-
if you’ve felt the edges of what conventional therapy can hold for you—if your spiritual self didn’t quite fit in that room, if you’re noticing the active collapse of amerika and are called to do, be, respond differently, if you’ve stopped trusting your intuition and want to find your way back—this is likely a good fit. if you prefer clinical support and diagnostic-based care, i am not a good fit for you.
-
While I use elements of coaching in astrological consults and elements of astrology. In coaching, these two containers are different. Coaching is ongoing and oriented to supporting your emergence with consistent care. Astrological consults are more contained—a single session or a monthly rhythm focused on your chart, a specific transit, or a particular part of your story.
-
I’d call myself a beginner, and I say that honestly and on purpose. I’ve spent the last 6 years studying astrology and have only begun actively reading for folks this year. My rates reflect where I am in my own learning, and every session also supports my continued study. What I bring is care, curiosity, and real skill— alongside humility about how much more there is to learn.
-
I have a standard rate of $88 for each embodiment coaching session, with the exception of one weekly spot reserved at $20 for someone on disability or minimum wage. My astrological consults have fixed rates depending on the length of the consult.
-
While this varies person to person and session to session, we sometimes work somatically by using movement and breath, talk through what’s surfacing, go deep inside yourself via depth work and meditation, make art, or adapt to what your bodymind is spiraling toward that day.
-
of course, I recognize that trust is earned and builds at the pace the relationship needs. many folks who find their way here have learned to be careful about what they disclose and to whom. part of this work is rebuilding a felt sense of safety in your disclosure and vulnerability, not rushing it.
-
not here! rumination and spiraling can be the bodymind’s intelligent way of surfacing and integrating truth—not something broken that needs fixing, but something worth listening to. this work treats your spiral as information, not dysfunction.
-
that’s welcome here, too! you don’t have to arrive as a believer. bring your skepticism, your questions, your own frameworks. this isn’t about adopting mine!
