Nervous System Regulation and Neuroplasticity Programs
The first step involves working with a comprehensive nervous system program. Education, belief, community, and daily practices form the essential foundations required to rebuild and grow from. I currently recommend the Primal Trust Program, which was foundational in my recovery.

Implementing a new practice effectively can be challenging and overwhelming, especially when coping with 24/7 symptoms that limit our abilities. In our one-on-one coaching sessions, we work through questions, daily structure, and resistance. We also engage in somatic and mindfulness practices to ensure continued progress.

One of the greatest challenges in any recovery journey is fear, and many people get stuck in it as they work their program. In my own journey, I discovered a map to befriend and integrate fear, which led me to a freedom and depth of recovery beyond my expectations. The "Befriending Fear" and "Befriending Emotions" workshops are essential additions to any nervous system program.
ABOUT ME
The Journey is the Healing
My evolving story has become a testament to the healing power of self-discovery. Raised in an environment of violence, chaos and uncertainty, my early life shaped me into an independent seeker, navigating the extremes of suffering and finding solace in activism, nature and spiritual concepts.
Despite building a successful career in the Natural and Organic Foods industry, my external accomplishments left me disconnected and unsatisfied. A period of burnout and breakdown eventually led to a miraculous recovery, utilizing practices like Self-Directed Neuroplasticity, Nervous System Regulation, and Inquiry to heal from a myriad of chronic illnesses.
In the depths of despair, I awakened to the nature of the mind and my true self, experiencing a profound shift that transcended the limitations of thoughts and body. This revelation, coupled with the gift of recovery, brought me to a place of deep respect and understanding of my connection to nature and the incredible experience of life.
Now, as the co-owner of a thriving consulting business, a mindfulness teacher and mentor, and the co-founder and CEO of Drink Ramp—a line of natural wellness products—I balance my time between passions, family, business, giving back to my community and scheduled rest. Embracing the ongoing messiness of being human, I nurture the gift of stillness through daily movement, inquiry, and mindfulness practices, discovering that I have always possessed exactly what I need at any given moment.

TEACHING AND TRAINING
FORMER MENTOR AND TEACHER AT PRIMAL TRUST™ ACADEMY
This Nervous System Regulation and Transformation program provided a map to recovery in 2021. I became a community mentor and teacher alongside Dr. Cathleen King from 2022-2024.
CERTIFIED TRANSFORMATION COACH
An accredited program which included neuroscience / trauma-informed coaching, mentorship skills and the framework for successful transformation and ethics in practice.
TRAUMA INFORMED MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION
I attended my first Metta workshop at 16 and had a sporadic practice for decades. In 2020, I started to sit daily, began attending retreats and am now part of the 2025 Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification led by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. This three-year program includes a deep dive into trauma-informed practices.
INTEGRATIVE SOMATIC PARTS WORK CERTIFICATE
In addition to my ongoing somatic exploration work. I am certified in all three levels of Somatic Parts Work through a program taught by Frances D Booth. Somatic Parts Work practices give you a felt connection to your core self, helping to heal and integrate mind and body. This integration can lead to an increased sense of wholeness and compassion for yourself and others.
HEARTMATH CLINICAL CERTIFICATION FOR ANXIETY, STRESS AND SELF REGULATION
Heart-brain coherence tools were transformational for me. This certification program taught the framework to help clients implement a few minutes of daily coherence practice. A daily practice has been proven to reduce and prevent many of the negative effects of stress, such as scattered thoughts, feeling overwhelmed, emotional distortion, fatigue, exhaustion, sleep disruption, anxiety and burnout.
SPIRITUALITY, ENERGY HEALING, SHAMANISM AND SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATIONS
Though I see myself as practical and grounded, I've been fascinated by the great mystery and consciousness since I was young. I've had multiple awakening experiences and premonitory dreams, the first one when I was just 6 years old. I'm a (non-practicing) Reiki master in three traditions - Usui, Tera Mai, and Karuna - with over 25 years of experience. I've also completed six years of traditional Shamanic Apprenticeship, Initiation, and Ceremony under two lineages. Currently, I consider nature as my greatest teacher, and I spend as much time as possible outdoors. Additionally, I'm studying Family/Systemic Constellations and their connection to CPTSD and Chronic Illness.
