An educator, consultant, coach, leader, writer, advocate, yogi, creative, and a thriver. I am an independent consultant for SheWhoDares, Consulting LLC., founded in 2018 to encourage others to find the rhythm of their unapologetic, authentic self. A 500-hr R-YT (studying to be a 1000-hour certified yoga therapist), bringing my lived experience into my work with others. Everything I have learned ha
s come from my own experiences, body, years of educational classes and certifications, and the wisdom from a lifetime of fine-tuning the holding of suffering and joy in order to be fully present with others as I invite them through opportunities created collaboratively, to quiet themselves and learn to lean inward, listening to their body- housing the wisdom needed for healing themselves. I survived childhood abuse, foster care, domestic violence, jail, human trafficking, and commercial sexual exploitation. I am driven to do what I can to help educate professionals working in direct services with vulnerable populations and individuals experiencing similar barriers to what I faced and overcame while also creating BRAVE spaces for healing, growth, and change in life's messy middle. My passion is figuring out unique and client-centered ways of combining various healing modalities and creating environments where post-traumatic growth can flourish. This pathway comes through creative, client-focused services and customized individual and non-traditional goal-centered strength-based plans for healing trauma. My vision is to continue creating sacred spaces so all humans who have survived trauma, such as extreme forms of sexual trauma, can audaciously thrive. We have survived the unspeakable, so the residue of trauma echoes within our bodies. With radical self-compassion and kindness, combined with therapeutic modalities compatible with each unique healing journey, it is possible to THRIVE!
