Free Class:

HTF began with a free class called Feelings 101, then I added Feelings 102 next time I ran the course. You can access both by signing up for my email list below. My newsletters have been on pause as of late, but I hope to return to a monthly schedule when it feels like time!

Experience and Training:

I’ve spent the last thirteen years offering embodied emotional support through one on one and group coaching, teaching, spiritual care, facilitation, storytelling and community building. My work is shaped by a cross-disciplinary approach to healing that combines my background in somatic trauma resolution, Gestalt psychotherapy, co-active coaching, creative arts and spiritual care. My approach is politicized, non-hierarchical, and process (rather than outcome) oriented. Queerness, immigration, class struggle, and lived experience of trauma orient my work towards justice for all and a practice of accessibility as love. My magic is in being with people. So is my joy.

Your young parts and threat responses are brilliant survival strategies that you came by for good, good reason. But knowing this isn’t enough. You have to feel it, and feel it from the perspective of a stable internal Adult who isn’t in t
