I hold a MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and have over 35 years of experience guiding one-to-one mind–body practices. My work weaves together somatic and nervous system–centered approaches with evidence-based positive psychology, grounded in mindful presence, embodiment, and a deep connection to the natural world. While positive psychology provides the overarching framework for supporting growth, resilience, and meaningful change, my work is deeply rooted in whole-body awareness, nervous system regulation, and the wisdom of the bodymind.

My approach is rooted in the belief that, as humans, we must reconnect with our true nature - remembering who we really are and returning to embodied, holistic interconnection in order to thrive and live fulfilling, meaningful, and joyful lives, both individually and collectively. I believe that sustainable change can only occur when we include the wisdom of the body - not just the conscious, cognitive mind - broadening our awareness and opening ourselves to more informed, empowered choice-making and authentic Being. Through mindfulness, somatic awareness, nervous system reset and regulation, and compassionate inquiry, I seek to help you awaken to the present moment and reclaim your attention, your wholeness, and your capacity to flourish.

I hold space for the best version of you to shine through while helping to illuminate your path, so you can move through life with increased courage, self-compassion, joy, and purpose.

I’m especially drawn to supporting those who are navigating major life transitions and are ready to embark on the deeper journey of change through all life stages. My work invites you to come home to your True Nature - restoring balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of wholeness and aliveness within yourself and with the world around you.

I am passionate about balancing our digital and “real” life experiences and wrote my dissertation on the importance of increasing “Synchronous Embodied Experiences” over digital and asynchronous ones to help mitigate the growing mental and emotional health challenges we increasingly face as a society. For me, it's all about coming home to the present moment in embodiment - this is the medicine of post-modern times.

In my free time I love being in nature, playing in the waves, pottering around in the garden, or creating. I have two grown children who are the lights of my life and my greatest teachers. I currently live in a safari tent on my property in Southern California.
