The Sacred and the Soul,
The Wise and the Wild,
They live in the light and also in the dark.
When we meet the Dark with reverent curiosity,
The Dark reveals a way home.
“I listen for the truth of who you are becoming.”
I help people meet, acknowledge the presence of, and integrate the parts of themselves that have been repressed, left behind, or fallen into shadow because of fear, shame or trauma and return to aliveness.
We do this healing for the purpose of living more authentic, creative, expressed, embodied, and soul-filled lives.
You might think of this as a reclamation of the Wild Woman / Man / Being Archetype.
My speciality is working with those who desire healing and to expand, embody and express themselves more fully. Most of the people I work with desire deeper intimacy and truth in their partnership, or they crave a deeper sense of connection to themselves, their intuition, Spirit, or their creative expression. Many are at what I would call at a threshold. Or an initiation. Or a crossroads. They know that who they are, or the relationship that they have been in, or the career they are dedicated to, or the roles that they play and life they inhabit is not a “big enough container” for who they are becoming. I support them in integrating the deeper, repressed, and sometimes wounded aspects of themselves as a way to cross the threshold and step into their next phase of being.
This is a re-membering of under-nourished, repressed parts. We peel away the beliefs, armor, and skins that may have once protected and supported you, but are now suffocating the Truth of who you are. This is a process of re-memering dismembered parts. Of landing more at home in yourself, as more of your pure, true, potent, essence…Freeing the wild self.
I am not really going to help you fix or change anything.
What I will do…
I will listen for the truth of who you are becoming.
I will help you remember who you truly are.
Before you got scared, hurt, or busy. Before you forgot.
Before shame grabbed ahold of you.
This work is about you being the Wild Essence that is expressed as you.

“Too much safety makes one feel unsafe. It it doesn’t, perhaps it should.”
- David Cooper
We unconsciously create a world of suffering through obsessive avoiding or clinging because we are afraid of what is in the shadows of our past, our shame, our bodies, etc.
This avoidance and clinging can manifest in many ways: trauma responses, eating disorders, loss of creativity, feeling down or depressed, feeling restless or anxious, confusion, lack of sense of self or connection with one’s intuition or body, etc.
Safety is not about eliminating what we fear, but learning to lovingly and creatively interact with our shadows.
