My approach

Just as a seed will grow into a plant, and a plant will seek water and grow towards light, there is an intrinsic capacity within all living organisms to heal and to grow, and a natural inclination to move in this direction. My approach is guided by trust in the wisdom of this evolutionary process.

My work is grounded in lived experience and ongoing engagement with intentional communities and emergent process. I am a holistic practitioner working in the realms of transpersonal psychotherapy and birth care, with a focus on human attachment, lifespan development, and spiritual care “from womb to tomb.” Birth psychology and work with holotropic states of consciousness are my passions, and I am dedicated to weaving ceremony and nurture back into the collective and into the care of ourselves, of our children, of each other, and beyond.
