I’ve had a rich and diverse practice history over the past 35 years. Work as a therapist, group facilitator and trainer has taught me a lot about resilience and how people find their ways through challenging life experiences.

Oftentimes nervous system dysregulation arises from medical procedures, accidents, assaults, institutional, interpersonal and systemic violence, abuse and neglect. I believe that overwhelming experiences can be processed in a gentle way where the focus is on the body's emotional and sensory data, rather than on the details of the actual event. This work helps with the settling of nervous system so that the body's ability to self-regulate is restored - much like resetting a thermostat. The work focuses on bringing you to a state of relaxed alertness.

Since the late 1990's I have been passionately involved in the study of somatic psychotherapies. I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and a Certified Somatic Transformation Practitioner. My work draws on the wisdom of the body/mind to help resolve trauma and bring people to a greater sense of groundedness and stability. I believe that ancestral histories that remain unintegrated are held in subsequent generations. As well, I work in the realm of the transpersonal.
