I want to start by honoring your journey up to this moment and recognizing all the good, bad, painful, and pleasurable that led you here. Let’s grant each other permission to heal through love with Grace, Acceptance & Curiosity.
My search for guidance led down many therapeutic, holistic, spiritual, and explorative paths. My relationships with myself, my wounded inner child, my partners, my family, and my community all suffered as I struggled to accept myself. Resources were not readily available in my region, and more often than not, what was available was so deeply triggering in language and presentation that it created its own wounds.
Together, my partner and I began to develop a new dynamic. Recognizing we had to start from the basics, we focused on consent, communication, and connecting with our bodies to heal the inner child, intimate, and spiritual wounds.
What we search for in life is what we are meant to provide. My coaching, mentoring, and touch practices are my way of using the tools I've gained to walk with others down the healing path of unconditional love.
I am a Certified Relationship Coach and Sex Educator. My background in Social Work focuses on Early Developmental and Familial Trauma with an emphasis on Trauma-Informed Care and Motivational Interviewing. My education and personal experience have supported me in developing a coaching and platonic safe-touch model to bridge the gap between therapeutic and holistic wellness.
