Do you find it hard to be a human?
TRICK QUESTION OF COURSE YOU DO.
There are endless bids for your time and attention and you have to sleep and hydrate and eat while fighting The Siren Song Of Screens in order to get anything at all done on any given day. Add pandemic to the mix and HOLY SHIT FUCK WOW WOW WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING.
Just being alive is a tricky thing, and it’s easy to cut yourself off from your own depths to survive. You go around telling others (and yourself!) you’re fine, where ‘fine’ equals struggling, lonely, stressed, tired, and hopeless. Bonus: you think you have to APPEAR fine for all the humans around you.
My work helps you rummage around in the depths of your being and then be honest about what you find, while helping you shed layers of stuck, blocked, and useless internal garbage.

Feel lighter now.
At its most basic level, the human body has just four emotions: fear, anger, sadness, and joy. The more we try to numb or tamp down our anger, fear, and sadness, the more we lose the ability to feel joy.
Breathwork is a simple, sacred practice that helps you feel your feelings — yes, even the shitty ones and awful ones — so that, about 30 minutes later, you’ve got increased access to joy.
To start, you’ll need a place to lie down and a pillow.
Fail Doula.
This is a space to fail on purpose, as part of what it means to be alive. Not the ONE thing, ALL THE THINGS.
Also: stop 'fine' in its tracks. Beneath fine, there are all sorts of things you're avoiding, and we'll gently explore those spots to give you fuller access to the full spectrum of human emotions.
