I myself have had a long arc of healing and growth. Since I was young, I felt most at home when I was alone, in nature. As I got older, I saw how the sense of aliveness and well-being I felt amongst mountains and dirt would dwindle as I returned to my everyday life and my interpersonal relationships. In my desire to build a deep, fulfilling life with nourishing relationships, I’ve felt constrained by chronic health issues, emotional distress, and interpersonal conflict. I knew that I was meant for something beyond coping with the restraints of these stressors; a fuller expression of my lifeforce. It is this knowing that led me eventually to Organic Intelligence, and further, my wish to support you to go beyond stress and into something more like destiny. To date, I am a certified Post-Trauma Growth OI Coach, and will continue to train in this paradigm for years to come.
Relationships, and how to do them well, have also been a huge fascination and subject of study for me. I remember reading Stan Tatkin, a pre-eminent relationship expert, saying “we’re hurt by people, and we’re healed by people.” The frustrating, painful dynamics in our relationships are both a result of past wounds, and an opportunity for healing. We can heal by being IN a healthy intimate relationship. To this end, I’ve spent countless hours practicing communication tools, studying attachment styles, reading books and listening to podcasts out of my desire to help myself and others to have healthy - even healing - relationships. And professionally, I’ve put in years of study with The Relationship School, and, through them, I am a certified Relationship Coach.
As a coach, I will help you create the life and relationships that you’re wanting and are meant to have.
