What we call “dysfunction” often began as protection.

In NARM, we bring awareness to how these protective survival strategies formed—often early in life, often outside of conscious choice.

Rather than trying to "fix" these patterns at the behavioral level, we explore the deeper needs and longings they’ve been organized around.

They weren’t flaws. They were life-saving. And they don’t have to define us forever.

You are not supposed to be a finished product. You get to learn, grow, and transform yourself. ☀️

Western ideas of therapy based in eradication will never be able to facilitate integrative, lasting healing. It is this very splitting away from painful emotions that allows us to survive trauma yet keeps us in self-disconnection and survival mode. Thankfully, in safe relationships, we can gradually reconnect to these parts of ourselves that we once had to disown in a way that allows for reconnection and integration. I am honored to be with you in the courageous journey of turning towards pain and to growing that capacity together. With the capacity to be with painful emotions like anger and grief in the heart space, comes the joy, peace, and fulfillment of living life presently from an open heart. 💫

I am honored to be with so many courageous human beings every week who are doing this sacred work of coming back home to themselves. 💫

"Each person carries a hidden poetic unity that reflects the mysterious continuity of the Soul of the World. In the depths of the soul, we are each an old soul able to survive the troubles of the world and contribute to its healing and renewal. The key to what we miss and secretly long for is hidden within us. Medicine men and healers of all kinds from cultures around the world have used various techniques to not only “heal” the soul, but also to restore individuals to their proper place in the world and in their culture. To heal means to “make whole,” and when we feel whole we are in touch with the whole world. When in touch with our underlying soul, we are naturally in touch with nature and the Soul of the World. We are the missing ingredient in the solutions needed for all that ails us, if we but awaken to the nature of our own souls."
- Michael Meade, "Awakening the Soul"

“As ruthlessly as death sweeps in to dismantle what’s familiar, life always follows. It brings vitality and growth to the fallow regions of our lives. Just like wild herbs appear in contaminated soil to help cleanse it of toxins, it is the way of nature to remediate. Our job, like the soil, is to submit to this mysterious process. To trust that, even as the old form is decomposing, a new form is coalescing out of sight.”
