The Extremes 

Unfortunately, the pelvic health and mental health fields function on extremes. I have deep respect for healthcare workers and never want to smash any field. However, many clients come to this work needing a different level of care, emotional permission, and trauma-informed care. Many clients need something different than what they’ve experienced in the allopathic / physical therapy / gynecology / birthing world / talk therapy /  western psychology world and infertility treatment fields.

The other extreme is well-intentioned healers who know the body is an intelligent conduit and believe in sacred feminine healing work, but might not have the training or skills necessary to provide safety, clarity, and a grounded experience. There are also practitioners who claim medical care or medications are never needed, please know this work is not a replacement for medical care but can be a supportive ally to your healing process.

One of the most painful and unfortunate truths is the rate at which too many overtly or covertly abuse or neglect the reality of impact and leave women feeling invaded / confused / manipulated / abused. This can happen with spiritual practitioners, community leaders, shamans, bodyworkers, medical practitioners, family members, partners and spans across many types of relational experiences in explicit and subtle ways. 

There are safe ways to address it. I do not believe these extremes above are effective or sustainable for any body. What I do believe is bodies ask for help in many ways and eventually, some start to listen.

My Service Style

In-person work with me is my highest and most sought level of service. My work includes extended time together, emotional permission, online learning and education, treatment planning / assessment & support with implementation, a true container, trauma-informed care, and more. Read more about the foundational building blocks of my work here.

Working with me individually can be in a counseling relationship, or in my pelvic health program work. These are different relationships, though I bring all of my training to every therapeutic relationship and always rest on education and trust building as the foundation of our time together. I keep my counseling and pelvic health practices separate and am happy to discuss which is the best fit for you. Please get in touch to discuss the differences. The usage of therapeutic touch is always discussed at length and is entirely consensual and trauma-informed. I incorporate education, psychological / emotional permission and process work in every container I offer. I am deeply informed by science / anatomy / the realities of the body while leaving room for the unknown. My main focus, no matter what type of container you step into, is working with the central nervous system and how the meeting points between the psyche, neurology, immune and endocrine / hormonal systems impact your health.

My work requires commitment to a container. This offers the most powerful results for clients. For counseling and pelvic health work, I require a certain level of consistency and presence in treatment. If you need simple advice, we can engage in consultation and treatment planning. However, I believe this process does not benefit from rushing / high pressure work. I always recommend commitment to a consistent therapeutic relationship for best outcomes. I maintain a very full practice and ensure that every client receives a high caliber of quality care with dedication and professionalism. I also offer retreats and intensive style work and always require relationship building and consultation first, before intensive work is offered.

My Personal and

Professional Manifesto

My defining values are mutual respect, freedom, and self-authority. I believe all living beings (especially those with a central nervous system) have an incredible surge of life force inside them. The journey to discovering, allowing, accepting, having access to, harnessing, and deciding how to utilize this life force is a core human process.

I believe it is a privilege to have the resources and access to fully discover oneself. I also believe discovery of the full “self” in all its' facets is a lifelong journey. The guiding principles that have shaped my life and exploration of this include personal relationship to the force of life, integrity with that force, and capacity to truly witness oneself and another.

The revolution that I’m here to lead is all about the root.. The essence of pro-creation, physiological creativity, DNA fusion, fertility, legacy, pregnancy, birthing, family, continuation / disruption / colonization of lineage and cultural patterns, epigenetics (how inter-generational patterns impact DNA), sexuality, and intimacy are some of the most charged themes of humanity. These themes surround some of the deepest most primal human longings and are also what get abused during deep times of strife and collective power shifts. Opening the door to this work is one of the most powerful choices someone can make and I’m honored to support those on this path.
