As a politicized somatic practitioner, I offer politicized somatics, an embodied path towards healing and transformation from individual and collective trauma. Politicized somatics allows you to align your values with your actions through increasing somatic awareness. This allows you to perceive your moods, sensations and emotions in order to get more present with what is and to make choiceful decisions about what follows. This, in itself, is a practice. Practice is an antidote that supports embodiment, healing and transformation.
Together, we will learn somatic practices that can be useful in supporting the ways you connect to yourself, others, spirit and land, as well as increase your sense of safety, dignity and belonging.

I am committed to interrupting our culture of imperialist white-supremacist capitalist heteropatriarchy. Within this comes a commitment to an economically just world in which access, space and time to healing is abundant.

I am a politicized somatic practitioner through and through. I believe the personal is political and that experiencing oppression is traumatic. I am committed to a holistic path to healing, transformation and liberation. I meet you where you are at and support you in accessing a felt sense of safety, dignity and belonging.
