As a professionally trained social worker, I noticed over the years that although my clients would come to me for difficult emotional circumstances, they were also suffering from debilitating physical pain. I wanted to offer something to alleviate their physical as well as emotional distress. I began offering techniques acquired through my mind-body therapy background to address the spectrum of ob
stacles people faced in feeling better. I found that a more holistic, somatic approach is often the answer. My extensive certifications in various modalities include energy healing, yoga, hands-off bodywork, pilates, medicinal aromatherapy, somatic-based psychotherapy for healing trauma, and conflict transformation. I’ve spent my career creating spaces for healing through the lens of equity and empowerment, specializing in the topics of mindfulness, social emotional learning, restorative and transformative justice, and holistic care centered in decolonization and social justice. Through Urban Well, I’ve helped transform the lives of hundreds of clients who now experience more vibrant health through reduced stress, deeper sleep, smoother digestion, boosted immunity, and more authentic relationships.
