For clarity, I’ve reworked some of my offerings so that there are two pathways to work with me. The somatics and bodywork pathway is for any and everyone: all genders, all ages, all experiences. The Whole Journey pathway is specifically for women in the childbearing year, and includes work during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum (and beyond).

If you’ve been curious about my work, I’d love to dive in with you!

Is your summer body feeling the need for a summer reset? We’re halfway through and somehow, as fleeting as summer energy is, there’s still many weeks ahead. Maybe you’re running yourself ragged taking kids camping or to the pool, or you’re out of your self care routine and feeling depleted. Whatever has you feeling tired, sore, tense, or dysregulated, I got you!

Working with a scar or injury? Feeling emotionally dysregulated and want to learn how to support your nervous system through somatic practices and bodywork?

Pregnant in this Memphis heat??

DM me to schedule a session!

Looking forward to continuing Mama Circle into the summer. If you are pregnant or postpartum, please join our group of inspiring, beautiful mamas! We love to support one another, go deep about life, and enjoy seeing our babies grow together. It’s part support group part social circle.

What if you could hear, understand, and respond to the things your body and nervous system say? What if you could learn to live in your body in a way that allowed you to sense when dysregulation was occurring so that you could move feelings and emotions through your body in positive ways?

Through somatic work and the remediation of scar tissue and fascia, you can begin to develop a close relationship with your body and all it has to say.

If chronic pain, scar tissue, postural issues, gastro issues, reproductive health concerns, sexual pain, surgery, injury, self limiting beliefs/negative self talk, strained relationships, chronic dysregulation, or trauma of any kind has made your relationship with your body difficult, please reach out. I can help you begin the important journey of connection.

✨✨✨Mama Circle✨✨✨

By popular demand, Mama Circle is back this May! I have so missed having a house full of moms and babies, and all the friendships, community care, laughter, tears, and memories that always come with this amazing group.

Please spread the word and let all your soon to be or new mamas know that there’s a place for the to feel seen, to connect, to learn, and to receive care.

Mother care is truly my passion!

Hope to see you there!

It’s still the month of love! What if that extended to self care? It’s surely not too late to do something kind for yourself—be your own valentine!

The work I offer supports folks in discovering the language of their body, in order to heal scars, both seen and unseen, both physical and emotional.

If you have ever felt stuck, numb, in pain, tense, traumatized, anxious, or unsettled, this work may be for you. Please reach out if you would like to explore, and help yourself heal in a variety of ways.

Do you feel it? How you want to take your mornings more slowly? How it feels calming to sit by a fire? How you’d rather sit on the couch with your dogs than get out to the market?

Our nervous systems and body do not want high energy movement, thinking, or activity during winter months, for good reason. Just as the trees draw their energy toward their core, so do we, if we can (or allow it).

If you’ve been finding the start of the calendar year to feel a bit rough, consider ways you can create stillness or pause in your life. Think about how you can invite more wintering into your life, even if in small ways.

And if you are looking for support in this, whether your body or scar tissue feels especially restricted, or you feel stuck in your nervous system in some way, please allow me to help offer a little warmth and grounding in these wintery months.

Just because we need to slow down, doesn’t mean we need to shut down. The wintering trees are dormant, they are not dead. Our bodies still need flow, just at a slower pace.

Please reach out if you’d like support!

If you’re visiting Memphis this holiday season, or you’re local and haven’t been putting yourself on your own to do list, please come see me for 1.5-2 hours of relaxation and healing. As we enter into the winter season, our bodies, and nature, enter into a period of turning inward and resting. Our human lifestyle often bypasses this bodily and energetic need for wintering, so it’s the perfect time to put your need for recovery from the year’s activity or stress as top priority.

Let’s get your nervous system more flexible and regulated before you gear up for the year ahead.
