My Journey Back Home
I used to live entirely in my head—anxious, overthinking, pushing through everything. Breathwork was the first thing that helped me soften, release, and reconnect to myself. Now my body feels like home.
I began studying the nervous system, trauma-informed somatics, breath mechanics, polyvagal theory, and the science of emotional release.
Today, I guide others through the same transformation gently, safely, and with deep respect for your nervous system.
Your body already knows how to heal. I’m here to help you remember. To hold the space while you do the inner work.

Creative insights, vivid dreams, or spaciousness
A need for quiet time, movement, or journaling
