Welcome

Greetings! I am currently on a seasonal sabbatical and am not accepting appointment requests at this time.

During fall and winter, I honor the need for slowing down, resting, and nourishing the roots of things. This is the time of year when I deepen into my own spiritual practices and opt for simple, contemplative living.

Regular appointments are available April through September. Please feel free to email if you would like to be notified when scheduling opens.

Refugia is a term used in biology that refers to places which offer ecological refuge and shelter from unfavorable conditions, supporting biodiversity and evolution.

Offering Presence-Based Medicine and Care for the Body, Mind & Soul

Welcome! I work with folks collaboratively through the stories of the body, the wisdom of the heart, and the intelligent organization that we all carry as interrelated microcosms of the macrocosm. Together, we share in holistic explorations for self-inquiry, self-discovery, and community care through conscious embodiment and spiritual deepening. This deeply regenerative style of support helps us grow personally and to ultimately create a more positively impactful ripple effect in the world.

There are numerous links of interest throughout this website to support you with your own curiosities, interests, and learning. Have fun exploring links, resources, and some of my own artwork!

I work with individuals who are consciously working on personal development and growth-focused practices, those who are seeking, those who are healing, those who are deepening connections, those who are renegotiating trauma, those who are working through self-inquiry processes, those who want a witness to their journeys, and those who identify as highly sensitive or neurodivergent.

Those who tend to be a good fit working with me have a high level of curiosity, are comfortable operating in present moment timing, and enjoy the beauty that comes from contemplatively being with life's questions.

Here are some of the areas I offer holistic support with:

Self-inquiry and personal growth using tools and concepts from energy medicine practices, interspiritual practices, and somatic practices
Exploring enough-ness
Contemplative spiritual explorations
Building self-honoring resiliency
Working with energy medicine concepts
Building a sense of body-mind-soul-cosmos connection
Complementary care for those who are healing from trauma
Support for the neurodivergent experience and unique ways of sensory processing
Support for those navigating ecological, habitat, and animal-related concerns
Gentle support for transforming patterns related to chronic stress and burnout
