“The energy we work with in a trauma will significantly increase our ability to achieve both our individual and collective dreams”
— Peter Levine

I outsourced my healing for years…until I realized that my healing was open source. I was the channel of healing. And I could help others step into this awareness just as easily.

Wholeness, Joy, Ease, flow, grace, clarity and prosperity are your birthright. There is no program or fixing that you need to experience the true essence of your being.

There will always be challenges in your life, cycles and pain, seasons of new growth and of letting go. Events that may be simply too big to process alone. We are not meant to be alone. We are creatures of unity. And community is the anti-dote, the remedy, the heal-all, the panacea.

The tools I want to share with you are not designed to fix anything because there is nothing to fix. You have all the resources you need to move through difficult experiences awake, soft and anchored in your healing channel.

I am not here to sell you what worked for me. I am here to support you in being your own healer.

What connects you directly to the infinite capacity of your soul and your intuition is your gift. It has been with you all along even when you walked through the fire.

Let’s take a breath together. You have made it this far and some intention for finding deeper meaning and healing has led you here.

You are in the right place if:

  • You are searching for tools to better understand and “regulate’ your nervous system.

  • You have an addictions, compulsions, and behaviors you cannot change despite so much inner work.

  • You have a barrier to relationships, success, creativity or you feel super stuck in your career.

  • You are indecisive and have a lot of trouble making and trusting your decisions.

  • You are re-living a traumatic experience, maybe daily or you are triggered daily by events in your life.

Let me share something with you that is so simple.

Healing, stress reduction, enhanced well-being, better relationships and improved nervous system regulation are all attainable now and natural side effects of listening.

Listening to your body.

This work brings energy, clarity, mind-body-healing, connection source energy, connection to a higher power, intuition, prosperity, health and healing, it elevates all of our relationships and our relationship with life.

Dear Mothers,

I see you. I see you in the incredible overwhelm of the day to day one foot in the caregiver, one in the career, one in the healing of our world. Wait that’s 3 feet!

Somehow we will crack open this paradigm because we cracked open ourselves when we became mothers so I know we can do it.

If you are down and in the mud please reach out to me. Sometimes all it takes is a loving awareness to see us. The tools I share can be a part of your daily grind and they fit into the wheels just perfectly.

The practice, ideally begun before or during pregnancy, involves integrating experiences and attuning to your nervous system. By starting this journey early or embracing it at any stage of parenthood, you empower yourself to stay deeply connected. Through it all.

It’s absolutely never too late as a parent to begin to work with your nervous system. Our children are calling for us, to be strong, resilient nervous systems. They are asking us to listen more deeply and in more ways than one in order to navigate our river together. Connecting directly with our intuition, our innate intelligence, our body wisdom, we can bring all the solutions to us that we need, living already within us, right here and now.

In the immediate presence of the body, our felt experience, our feelings and sensations, somatic awareness, we have all the answers to our deepest and most urgent longings.

About The Focalizing Institute, Somatic Healing and Embodiment Work:

Focalizing is a Somatic Healing Method and Practice that was started by Dr Michael Picucci, PHD to heal PTSD and Trauma. “It is the culmination of over 30 years in the field of psychotherapy, addictions research and trauma healing as well as his own life's journey. Though Dr. Picucci synthesized the approach, it owes much of its foundation to other pioneers and their work in the field of healing and psychotherapy. Some of Dr. Picucci's colleagues and inspiration are Dr. Peter Levine and the pillars of Somatic Experiencing, Dr. Eugene Gendlin and Focusing, and Dr. Randolph Stone and his Polarity Massage.

This work is a bottom up approach to healing so we never begin with a trauma. If there is an intention to do so it is a seed and whenever it arrives in the space it is worked with in a gentle and integrative way. If and when we are ready to approach the birth story we start small and only take in bite sized, digestible amounts of our present experience within our body and sensations.

The Focalizing process and work is truly integrative.  It  allows us to integrate, resolve and re-write our story.  This technique is particularly effective for birth trauma because of it’s nature, it is nuanced and deeply unseen, often packed beneath layers of shame or grief as well as positive experiences of love, joy and gratitude.  

Trauma is not the story of what happened to us. It is the living response in our nervous system asking our loving awareness, our source, to be seen, to come present and to be integrated. 

“Metabolization” is the word one of my Focalizing teachers, Joanna Miller, uses and it helps us to see the process, the living cycle, natural and slow, that we can embrace. We do not need to heal or fix but in fact become whole and integrated with our wounds, our pain and our story because it has wisdom and strength, it has in fact a lot of light and support for us to discover.  Because ultimately a trauma is what gives us our phoenix, our deeply human experience of rising, of metamorphosis and of transformation.  I am certified through the Focalizing Institute in NYC.
