I have had a reverence for the body, namely, the female body from a young age. I was particularly fascinated by the grit and power of our body through all of our rights of passage whether it was pregnancy, birth, menstruation and beyond.

I also have my own personal trauma healing journey from CPTS that’s been a catalyst for wanting to serve others through this work.

When I entered somatics over 16 years ago, like many I would eventually learn that all realms of education on things like the nervous system, anatomy, trauma resolution and more were based on research on the male body. I carved my own path in healing trauma that was inclusive to my actual physiology, and itʼs my aim to make sure other women have embodied education they need to do the same.

Through very recent research we finally have on our nervous system, and my experience in a variety of modalities centering the female body, I created my own methodology which I teach in my online program Soma School.

Hundreds of people from around the world have completed Soma School and are now equipped to actually serve women and those with female bodyʼs in somatic therapy, trauma resolution, coaching, talk therapy, physical therapy and more. I also hold space for private sessions ( you receive a discount on these when you register for Soma School), worldwide retreats and more.

Waking womb was born from a need to actually include our female nervous system in somatics.
