Do you ever feel unseen or unheard? Maybe you feel like you don't quite belong? Or maybe you don't feel anything at all? Constantly battling racing thoughts and so many “what-ifs?”— When the struggle becomes too intense, it can be difficult to navigate on your own.

If you are having a difficult time adjusting to a life change you weren't expecting; maybe an injury that has resulted in chronic pain and needing to modify the way you used to do things, a relationship change, adjusting to parenthood, or dealing with the effects of a pandemic, and would just like to feel "balanced," find joy in life again, sleep peacefully, and use healthy coping skills to maintain normal daily function, then consider allowing me to work with you to figure out how to work through and overcome some of your challenges and support a transition to a more positive mindset.

Three day trauma intensive for women who are ready reclaim their calm, confidence and clarity. You’ve carried the weight for a long time – through career, responsibilities, and the expectations of others. On the outside, you’re steady. Inside, old wounds, relentless pressure, and unresolved trauma keep pulling you off course. You’ve tried to push through, but over-functioning can’t quiet the anxiety, lift the heaviness or restore balance. You don’t need to work harder, you need space to heal what’s underneath.
