Who I am
My work is driven by the belief in our inherent, universal capacity for personal transformation from the illusion of our brokenness to the truth of our wholeness.
Drawing from over twenty years as a yoga teacher, bodyworker and therapist, I orient my work to the wisdom of the body & the healing potential of curious, compassionate self enquiry.
My intention is that my work helps my clients to identify and embrace their young parts, conditioning & defended patterns with compassion.
I believe that this is how we liberate ourselves from the distorted beliefs and survival strategies that have kept us stuck in cycles of suffering. As we restore our relationship with truth we discover that we have choice and a more authentic life can emerge.
My work seeks to expand capacity to be WITH our experience. In turning towards truth rather than defending against, we discover an inner well of courage, resilience, compassion and the potential for change.
Compassionate reclamation of what we have hidden in the shadows enables liberation of our innate gifts, finding light within darkness, joy within sorrow & medicine within the wound.
I offer my clients quiet presence, compassion and insight.
