it is possible

You get to thrive in your own way.

I got my start in healthcare, and I work in healthcare to this day. Yet my approach to healthcare has changed dramatically over the years.

For four years, I observed the role of pharmaceutical reps and insurance companies in a family physician’s office. I filed paper charts and noticed patterns of the chronically ill.

I left that job to manage a veterinary office where I started to understand the impacts of trauma on the mammalian nervous system.

I left that job to become an activist, to campaign for better treatment of animals in the food system and to encourage people to eat better to feel better.

Each step of the way, I thought I had answers. But after a while, the answers to my questions of how to stay healthy and feel whole in this world fell short.

So I kept living big and taking risks to ask better questions.
I left my steady salary as a paid activist to become a yoga teacher. That made no sense at the time! Yoga aquainted me with how to observe my mind and locate and name sensations in my body. Yoga gave me the foundations of somatic healing but I didn’t know that is what I was learning until I looked back!

And now I’ve spent nearly a decade teaching yoga to adolescents and young adults in residential mental health treatment. This work has given me radical insight on how culture and family systems impact us as individuals. And I’ve brought those insights to the adults that I work with as a somatic life coach.

See, I was promised in a dream that if I was patient, I would understand that I was doing my heart’s work. And by cultivating patience in the process of my life, I see the connectedness of my bachelor’s degree, my health coach certificate, my Somatic Experiencing certificate, my yoga teacher training. All of the years of study, personal practice and working with thousands of people have positioned me as an expert in the human nervous system, how to self-initiate our own healing and how to tenderly hold the whole of our emotions, experiences and challenges. I am an expert in identifying where you are snagged in achieving your deepest desires.

See, desire isn’t just what you want. It’s what your soul won’t rest without. And that is why I am here with Attunement Agency. To satisfy the longing I have to live in a world where people are aligned with their values, aligned with our Earth, aligned with the unique individual they are here to be.

And to get to the heart of desire, it takes awakening upon awakening to open to your highest calling. I’m here to help you self-initiate yourself into living the days you long to live, being in the relationships you long to be in…to get past social conditioning and trauma and to the heart of who you are.

I can remember one important moment of awakening for me…I was around 20 years old.

Have you had a moment like this too?

Wearing a scrub top and relaxing on the couch to an afternoon TV show, I thought to myself, “Wait. I could be doing anything on my break from the veterinary clinic and I am choosing this?”

My mind flashed through how I had spent my day, and I started to sense the ways in which I was unconsciously choosing my lifestyle.

I turned the TV off and went outside with my dog.

Fast forward through twenty years of my crusade for sovereignty, through extreme diet choices and exercise routines and heroic yoga practices. I simply stopped accepting that to change I had to judge myself, to restrict myself or to follow what other people thought was right.

I embody this self-acceptance thanks to my plant kin, the magic of herbalism, somatic trauma healing and an unwavering commitment to choose joy.

Here I am.

Whole. Complete.

And I stand for you in your wholeness. Attunement Agency is named for the only goal we need - Attunement to your Self, to your body, mind and heart, and the Agency to stand in that authentic power.

Attunement is a physiological process and the root of how you can take your health into your own hands.
