Offerings
As a companion on your journey, I will meet you where you’re at with compassion and curiosity. We’ll tailor an approach that works just for you, using the resources and experiences that will help you keep the link between your head, heart, and hands clear and connected. No matter how we work together, I will weave in body, breath, and mindfulness practices to support you in slowing down, paying attention, and staying in your integrity, even when it’s tough.

Compassionate Conversation
With a gentle and generous approach, we’ll explore alignment with your values and vision for life; develop ways to feel into that experience; and nurture the connection between your mind and body so you can cultivate liberatory practices in your daily life. It might help to think of this as a combination of intuitive coaching and mentorship focused on caring for yourself as a foundation for community care.

- practicing embodied anti-racism and loving accountability with white folx
- supporting recent grads and early career leaders to engage purposefully

Creative Collaboration
When you feel stuck and are having trouble finding your way through the mess, what you need is a creative collaborator. I listen deeply, stay curious, think expansively, and partner with you to uncover possibilities that once seemed unimaginable. It might help to think of this as consulting focused on prioritizing relationships in the process of values-alignment.

- tending to the organizational nervous system

Container Building
Community care requires us to practice with each other. I host spacious opportunities where we collectively hold each other with loving accountability and deepen our connection in community.

Intercultural Development
Mind-body care practice is a way of returning to ourselves, embracing our full humanity…
connecting with our deepest longings,
practicing loving accountability and compassionate boundaries,
and regulating our nervous systems so we can make choices from our integrity.

Our own humanity is at risk when we stay complicit and complacent with intersecting systems of oppression and injustice that keep us disconnected and afraid to care for ourselves and each other. Mind-body care allows us to create more vibrant, choiceful, joyful lives.
The life you imagine for yourself.
“feel it. the thing that you don't want to feel. feel it. and be free.”
— Nayyirah Waheed
