I feel you...

 

I was a smart, creative kid.  But unresolved trauma in my family, along with undiagnosed ADHD symptoms, left me bullied and behind in school & disconnected, overwhelmed, and depressed in life. 

 

Since then, I have been on a healing journey to discover what was wrong with me (turns out, nothing!)  and how I could heal.  I have discovered healing comes from connection -  with the Earth, our community and ourselves.   Luckily, my career as a sign language interpreter which led me to be a National Park Service ranger-interpreter for 25 years; I developed a deep connection to nature and the Deaf community.  My practices in Nonviolent Communication and Internal Family Systems have developed my connection to others and my Self. 

​

More recently, a year of chronic fatigue from Long Covid led me to discover the traumas from our past will continue to speak through our bodies, minds and hearts and ask to be healed.  I have learned to turn toward what is here now with kindness and curiosity knowing my body and heart are speaking, if only I listen.  Somatic awareness and connection has become an integral part of my work.

 

Nowadays, I am delighted to be coaching others from my home office in Pacifica, CA.  I am a pantheistic, queer/pansexual, cis woman who uses she/her.  I support others in seeing their own wisdom and spending my free time playing with friends in nature.​
