Building kinesthetic tools to
 un-stick the stuck places
 
in your life and relationships



As an openly trans, queer, and disabled politicized healer, I don’t believe in the traditional allopathic model that something is wrong with you and needs to be fixed.

Marginalized communities have a long history of being pathologized, and in my experience that pathology creates a lot more suffering and continuation of oppression than healing.

What I do know & believe fervently:
you are already incredibly resilient, and
​you have done a badass job of surviving
​and getting to this point. 


The goal of my work isn’t to fix you.

I want to give you more tools that work
better for who you are today and the
things that you desire and care about.



The body is a powerful asset in this tool development. 

Understanding and learning about your sensations and how to build your capacity to sit with your feelings gives you choices.


​

What happens when our Feelings don't have to be solved, figured out, avoided or ignored?

What if those Feelings were exactly what you needed for things in your life to start to change?




​
Somatic approaches give us the ability to move beyond just learning about our issues and understanding ourselves. 


Somatic approaches give us concrete strategies to shift behaviors and ways of thinking that get in the way of what we long for right now.



Change is Possible.

Picture

A decade ago, I was a work-all-the-time perfectionist youth organizer whose high stress juggling-too-many-balls super cerebral lifestyle left me feeling sick, anxious, disconnected from my body, and unable to consistently live my values in my relationships.

Bad news.

Despite all my brilliant thinking, what really helped me start to heal, both from the social justice work I had pursued for so long as well as unhealed childhood trauma, was to listen to my body: finding ways to increase my capacity to feel big emotions and big sensations and practicing changing my patterns of action to line up with what I really wanted in my life.

​Seeing such profound changes in my life made me want to share these tools with others.

Welcome to Wise Body.
