About
As a somatic coach with 25 years of experience as a holistic health expert, bodyworker, birth doula, yoga instructor, and BreathTouch™ practitioner, I blend a wide range of modalities in my offerings for individuals, partner(s), families, and community. I do my best to approach each moment with as much presence, vulnerability, love, and acceptance as possible, meeting you where you are.
I am also a super proud mother of adult children, founder and CEO of Centered Holistic Health (since 2013), advanced group leader for The Somatica Institute, board chair for the non-profit, Peacefully Whole Recovery, and faculty member at Lexington Healing Arts Academy. I offer both in-person and virtual coaching and BreathTouch sessions for individuals and couples, group breathwork and yoga classes, as well as customized international wellness retreats and public speaking engagements.
I'm passionate about helping you to live a more resourced, pleasurable, vital, and empowered life. Hiring an experienced coach and spending time in conscious community can help us to explore in a safe enough environment to get to know ourselves better, gain security and share this newfound understanding with our loved ones. By deepening somatic awareness (connection with our body) and cultivating co-regulation (settling and calming our nervous system with others), we create greater capacity to give and receive the love and care we all need and deserve.
I am not here to offer advice or tell you what is right for you. I am here to offer options, share skills, experiences, and be curious with you as you explore your own life path. Thank you for choosing to be here with me. I am continuously in awe of the transformation I see and feel with my clients.
This work works, and I truly hope for the opportunity to share it with you!
I believe that love is as essential to life as water, food, and shelter. Receiving love in ways that feels extra good allows us to thrive, not just survive. I'm here to provide a vulnerable, loving, and accepting space for you to explore, relax, heal, and connect with yourself and with me - to discover your version of extra good feels - to live well in this big wild world. We humans need each other, now more than ever.

I have been exploring, studying, playing, and working in the holistic healing arts field since 1999 when I was first introduced to the concept of Ki (life force energy) through my Aikido and Shiatsu training. Thankfully, it changed the trajectory of my life. I'm an insatiably curious and artistic mermaid. My personal happy places are being in or near water, singing, dancing, playing, creating, and spending time with my beloved humans and hound dog. I believe in restoring the village, loving and healing ourselves, each other, and our world - together.
