My life is complicated and intense.

How could you understand me?

Here’s a snapshot of me – I’m a recovering ‘southern belle’ with a complicated female family lineage that includes addiction, abuse, trauma, mental illness, and poverty – all which has shaped my understanding of the inequities women endure and lengths they go to persevere.

Then in 2019, after 16 years of honing this craft, I faced a crisis. I was: 

• a mom of two babies,
• the CEO of a growing coaching agency,
• suddenly the primary breadwinner so added a full time job in healthcare (on the frontlines of the Covid pandemic),
• without a support system since the family is over 12 hours away!

I was over scheduled, unbelievably compartmentalized, and ignoring my body’s messages so I could push my limits. I was struggling secretly and felt pulled apart at the seams! Thankfully, I drew a line in the sand and said, “enough is enough.” I couldn’t believe the intensity of my life.

That’s when I realized how valuable my ‘tool kit’ was. If I could turn my “I can do anything” attitude to my recovery and attune to my body to rebound from burnout under this level of strain, I knew other high-powered working women could too.  

I’m busy and I don’t have time to spare.

How do I know you can help me?

It’s taken 8 years to complete college + my doctorate, 14 years of clinical practice, and hundreds of hours studying neuroscience, stress physiology, behavior change, mind-body science, and women’s integrative health to prune this body of work into the most concise methodology possible.

Plus, I’ve recovered from burnout myself using my 3-part Somatic Attunement Method™ and I’ve coached countless other women – executives, CEOs, healthcare professionals, and entrepreneurs – all with busy, full lives with great results.

All you need to bring is a belief that you can influence your life and the willingness to try the simple practices I’ll give you. I have yet to meet a client with those two things that did not succeed. Have courage and trust that you don’t have to navigate this alone. I’ll meet you where you are.

I’ve already tried everything to manage stress.

What makes your approach different?

I take a body-based, self-regulation training approach. Your body naturally gives you messages you need to move towards vitality and health. It’s communicating your limits and the boundaries you need in place to keep stress in check. I’ll teach you to hear them and decode how to respond in any situation. There’s nothing generic or cookie-cutter that I will give you.

As a woman, you actually have a powerful, innate sense of intuition. I teach you how to use it – know when to push, when to pause, when to speak up, and how to create kind, clear boundaries that give you at least 20% of your time and energy back. THIS body guidance is the Somatic Attunement Method™. It’s your GPS system to the experience of wholeness, ease, and control. 

The Somatic Attunement Method is specifically crafted with your busy life demands and the impacts they’ve had on your body in mind. It’s a seamless integration of: Body Awareness + Mind Fitness Training + Lifestyle Medicine.

You can do yoga or go for nature walks until you’re blue in the face! To recover from burnout and learn stress resilience, you need all three of these components integrated and delivered in bite size pieces you can manage. There are lots of other experts out there, but I know how to make sure that our time together doesn’t just become another thing on your to-do list and that any strategy you try is a perfect-fit solution.
