What if who you are is actually NOT a problem? What if being your most authentic self is also what the world needed most right now? The path towards unfurling can come through your darkest days, your greatest upheaval, your rawest grief, or even through the quiet longing as you live your ‘normal life'.
People seek me out to: tend grief, navigate life transitions, live authentically, find freedom from patriarchy, unwind from unsatisfactory boxes, heal trauma, connect with the sacred, build trust in the body and intuition, and ease physical symptoms.
(Soul Medicine is not clinical therapy and not for people in crisis.)
At Four Moons Howl, I offer Soul Medicine for the Souljourner. Together, we welcome the whole being of you with the languages the soul speaks, which is so different from most therapy. Art, somatic (body-based), ritual and sacred practices access the parts of our brains that allow for deep shifts and transformation, not just repatterning thoughts & behaviors.
We don’t do this to fix you, we embark on the soul journey to create the space for you to lovingly welcome all of you back home. From this place of self-belonging, you emerge free with capacity for greater intimacy, connection, and joy. You get to choose how to live–in coherence with your soul and in service to your greatest aliveness. This is liberation!

Groups
Medicine For Our Times: Shapes of Grief
Grief can take so many shapes. In Shapes of Grief, we’ll explore embodiment & song practices as stepping stones to express & metabolize what the body holds. Leaning into grief can feel clunky, foreign, or sometimes, terrifying. Let’s practice taking it slow as we make visible what’s moving on the inside. Our time will include guided meditation, song, movement, & sharing from the heart. We’ll practice finding ground & exploring the shapes, sizes, & speeds of our grief. Through it all, the essential ingredient is us: being together, breathing into the places it hurts to go alone. You are welcome here. June 26, 6-9pm.
