About this Nominee
Connection thrives from our sense of safety. When we don’t feel safe, every area of our physical, mental, and emotional lives is impacted. As a Somatic Educator & Intimacy Coach I work with people to cultivate safety through body-centered experiences like yoga, meditation, breathwork, Conscious Touch (massage), and co-regulation practices. I also educate people on the mind-body connection, the physiological aspects of trauma, Poly Vagal Theory, somatic experiencing, and the stress-disease connection.
As a dynamic coach and educator I focus on treating trauma at a nervous system level. I work deeply with others to restore safety and connection through conscious touch and neural repatterning. I have 12 years experience as a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist, over a thousand hours spent teaching meditation and yoga as well as a history in inpatient mental health care. All my work is deeply trauma informed with a speciality in CPTSD. (complex post traumatic stress disorder)
