More about me, my story, and my style
My work is shaped by a lifelong devotion to understanding how safety, trust, rupture, repair, joy and aliveness move in the body.
Early in my own life, I experienced some wildly tumultuous and quite violent initiations that put me on the path I’m on now.
At the beginning of that journey, I followed the conventional medical and self-improvement paths that aimed to manage or suppress pain, treat symptoms, and “quiet” the body’s natural and brilliant processes.
Eventually, I found myself choosing a slower, more embodied and holistic way.
I spent years studying meditation, embodiment, trauma-informed somatic work, breathwork, and ceremonial practice under seasoned teachers and medicine holders. My formal training includes integrative somatic trauma therapy, psychedelic-assisted therapy education and breathwork facilitation.
But my work was never shaped by training alone.
Long before I had language for somatics or nervous system regulation, I learned to read energy, presence, and attunement as a child working closely with horses.
Learning to gain the trust of a 1000lb animal taught me about patience, sensitivity, co regulation and consistency. And eventually, how to establish that same trust within my own animal body, even after pain, rupture, or trauma.
Through my years as a long board free surfer traveling the world, I began weaving many of the lessons I learned in the water into my work and everyday life too.
When the body is convinced it’s not safe, how do we create a sense of safety even in the mystery?
When it feels as though we’re running out of air, or hope, perseverance, or capacity, and are convinced we won’t make it through, how do we ground into the body and stay resilient in a sustainable way?
Through my own journey of familial rupture, a complex trauma history, a disorienting adoption experience, severe medical challenges, and initiatory life transitions, I learned what many high-functioning women know, but don’t always know what to do with:
Doing “all the right things” doesn’t necessarily create safety or fulfillment.
For me, true change came not from pushing, fixing, or transcending, but from softening into presence, finding safety in the mystery, and learning how to stay with what arises, even in the discomfort.
That doesn’t mean bypassing pain or growth edges. It means developing the nervous system capacity and spiritual solid ground to be with all of life, without being taken down by it.
And that has become the heartbeat of my work.
Today, my work blends somatic healing, sensual embodiment, nervous system support, ceremonial & practice into spaces where women can land without performing, proving, or powering through.
My work isn’t about reaching some place of constant ease where challenges no longer arise. It’s about learning how to hold yourself tenderly and honestly when the set waves roll in.
How to meet discomfort without abandoning yourself. How to hold grief and joy at the same time. How to live with a steady, calm presence rather than constant effort or vigilance.
I have guided hundreds of women through long-form immersions and international retreats, many of whom are leaders, educators, clinicians, entrepreneurs, and creatives who hold an immense amount of responsibility in their lives and communities.
My work is known for pairing gentleness with depth, mystery with clarity, trust with fierce precision, and reverence with real life humanity.
Because I believe healing is not about becoming perfect. It’s about becoming deeply present.
And softness, pleasure, joy and play are not indulgences. They are essential to sustained healing and a fully lived life.
Sometimes the ceremony happens in a circle or retreat space. Other times it happens in the ocean, in simplicity, or over a glass of wine (or mocktail) sunset.
For me, life itself is the altar.
I am a deep ceremonialist and medicine woman, but I’m also incredibly simple, human, and warm.
You may meet me in the depth of ceremony, or barefoot skateboarding at sunset. In the hot fires of a sacred women’s ritual, or solo camping on a beach somewhere remote.
That is the world of The Deeper Current.
It’s not about extremes or performance. It’s about letting life touch you in every way possible. Caring deeply, but not taking it all so seriously.
For women who have done the work, self studied, achieved the goals, and are ready for something quieter, truer, and more embodied.
A deeper, softer way of living, inside this one precious life.
