I have over 30 years of experience working with moving bodies, trauma, and building trauma informed curriculum.  I love to travel and have lived in, worked in and visited more than 65 countries. 

My background with movement based practices began as a Professional Ballerina and I hold close the sacredness of movement as a healing restorative tool.  My dance career spanned over 15 years during which I performed with professional companies in North America and Europe. 

My personal healing journey from a near-fatal car accident led me to Somatic Therapy.  I opened my Private Practice, Healing Motion, in 2020 after much request for a more holistic approach to mental healthcare and personalized support from former participants in my other trainings, retreats, workshops and classes.  

Beyond my Private Practice, I am the Founder and Executive Director of Legacy Motion a 501(c)3 NGO organization that supports individuals and communities impacted by trauma by offering sustainable programing to community members in trauma informed, restorative, movement based practices and somatic therapy modalities . Each program and project honors traditional healing methods, supports the collective human experience, and provides learning opportunities to aid in accessible and equitable mental healthcare through the mind/body connection.

I offer Somatic Therapy to individuals and groups struggling with stress, anxiety, sleep and disgestion challenges, displaced populations (refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants), survivors of torture and terror, veterans and active duty military and their families, first responders and their families, humanitarian aid professionals and volunteers, survivors of violence, abuse and oppression, individuals who have a history with substance abuse and body dysphoria, and anyone who is seeking to support their own mental health by discovering their innate wisdom, restoring their embodied strength, and transcending to holistic wellbeing through nervous system self-regulation, lifestyle balance, and personalized wellness programs. 

My work is through a whole human, trauma informed lens and I feel much gratitude to be able to hold space for you in our journey together.
