I'm writing this after a deep and meaningful conversation and a request to put my thoughts down. I can't fully remember everything I said, but I'm going to try my best to communicate well here.

I'm going to share my personal experience of Covid-19 and my professional opinion of it all. My desire is to create an open-air and judgment-free conversation.

** Disclaimer, I do not treat Covid and am not commenting on treatment. I'm writing to share my personal experience of my journey and my assessments of mental health & pelvic health as that is what I am most qualified to professionally comment on.

To begin...I've had the Covid virus, to my knowledge, three times. I reviewed this in spring 2024.

The first time I contracted Covid was in April 2021. If 0 is no symptoms / positive test and 10 is hospitalization....my experience was about a 5 (this is self-reported, I stayed home and healed without medical care, and I am very aware that self-assessed experience of pain is relative). At ...

People have been taught to ignore / objectify / pathologize / feel guilty and ashamed about Menstruation. The confusion can be debilitating, frustrating, and even painful. We change throughout the month but are expected to live the same way day in and day out. Being consciously aware of the menstruation cycle and phases has the potential to truly set you up for a different kind of life.

We have natural abilities and gifts that come during menstruation and all other phases of the cycle. It is a deepening time, and if we learn to reorient ourselves to the possibilities, we can make a powerful shift in our lives and how we experience menstruation. Severe menstrual challenges are a signal of a body in need. Physiological, emotional, mental, hormonal, and many other markers can be a signal of this need.

The body talks, are you ready to listen? 

When a system is aligned, vital, and vibrant, menstruation can be a time of centeredness, potency, and deepening vision. We don't want to shame o...

Have you ever been curious about the human body and how it connects to healing, emotions, and self-development?

There is much to uncover when it comes to the anatomy: the intricacies, complexities, the all-encompassing influences and experiences that are held there. Pelvic anatomy isn’t just about what is visible. Our anatomy holds so much that is unseen and often unaddressed or forgotten about. There's more to what we feel. If you have ever wondered how the physiology of our bodies can impact healing - ever wanted to become more in touch with your body and with yourself - understanding your own anatomy is a great place to begin.

Holistic pelvic anatomy is more than various organs or systems we have grown familiar with (or not). Human anatomy is what's holding all that has influenced us, all of our experiences. They are all housed here, not just in these organs, but in the tissue, the nerves, our fascia, and so much more. It all talks to our brain and our brain talks back.

When it c...

Those who know me well see my love of animals, listening skills, and unpredictable sense of humor. What makes me… “me”?

My friends and clients have described me as many things: present, devoted, inquisitive, playful, compassionate, intelligent, direct, grounded, and a boundary-setter determined to shake off life’s hardships to make room for magic.

My favorite motto is: “the truth is in the middle”.  I talk a lot about continuums and extremes. I am always searching for “the middle way” in my own psyche, body, health, relationships, and life, which is reflected in my approach to my work. I find extremes difficult to maintain and challenging.

Women & Work  

My proudest accomplishment has been creating and running my own business. I've been working for myself for over 14 years, in addition to a lot of tough jobs in very “acute” environments that have opened me to the spectrum of humanity. I’ve worked in emergency rooms, residential & inpatient psychiatric treatment, jails, crisis cente...

The greatest mission of my work is to provide you with the tools to build a strong and grounded foundation that supports your health journey and life. I think of a "healthy" life as one that has an eye on your mental / emotional / spiritual / physiological well-being. From the daily nuts and bolts of how you live, to your internal connection to yourself, to your relationships and connection to the wider world and big picture.

Research shows that trust, connection, and safety in the therapeutic relationship is the highest indicator of “success” when working with a professional. Success in this way comes in the form of change and progress that many of us are seeking. My work rests on trust-building and relational strength to achieve results.

What works for one person is irrelevant for another. I have seen this firsthand in the diversity of people's circumstances I work with and is what I tailor-fit your treatments based on...the uniqueness of you and your life. I bring extensive ...

As a long-time clinician with 14+ years of training, practice, client work, credentials, and a wide variety of professional experience in healthcare, I am here to guide you in this pivotal "root" (pelvic) journey. 

Among a wide range of other motivations, many do this work for the possibility to become more centered, grounded, and in charge of their health / body / sovereignty. Considering our world's history around this part of the body, this is a profound process.

With a range of tools and lenses to support you along the way, I apply my experience spent doing research and treating clients to achieve very real results that are different for everyone.

I am continually humbled by my clients’ experiences. I would like for you to know that during our work together, you will not be minimized, pathologized, or bypassed. The outcomes from this safe container we create together are endless. Here are just a few of the results you may experience in the realm of your physical body, e...
