Bodymind Coaching
My approach synthesizes my training as a certified bodymind coach, recovery mentor, and peer support specialist, in addition to my 20 years of experience as an educator, which includes working with youth in addiction recovery. I also incorporate principles and practices from a range of neuroplasticity/somatic/recovery techniques and frameworks, such as meditation, visualization, cognitive reappraisal, somatic tracking, parts work, emotional awareness and expressive writing, and polyvagal theory.
Sessions take place over Zoom or in person in NE Portland.
I offer single sessions and packages of 3 or 6.
Please schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit!
Experience transformative growth with my unique approach incorporating neuroplasticity techniques, somatics, addiction recovery modalities, cyclical living, and radical rest.
How it works:
We will meet for 60 minutes or more, digging into your challenges and goals through guided inquiry, exploring and integrating your connection to your mind/body/heart/spirit, and developing clarity for your path forward. Depending on what comes up, we may use different modalities at various points along the way. You will leave our session feeling supported, empowered, and inspired to take the next brave steps of your action plan.
My coaching is for people who are:
Navigating transitions in work, relationships, health, and/or identity (which can present as a crisis, breakdown, or breakthrough)
Recovering from burnout and exhaustion
Living with and healing from chronic conditions
Looking to deepen integration between body, mind, heart, and spirit
Feeling out of alignment with their deeper values and seeking greater purpose and meaning in their daily lives
Ready to move out of survival mode, overstimulation, and overwhelm
Tired of limiting beliefs and behaviors keeping them stuck, but don’t know where to begin
Desiring more integrated support in their recovery from trauma, addiction, and/or chronic illness
Divesting from systemic oppression, both internalized and external
I specialize in working with:
People in long-term recovery who are feeling stuck in their program or that a piece is missing
Postpartum and perimenopausal women who want to fully claim their power in the face of patriarchy and misogyny
Frazzled parents wanting to restore their sense of self and a viable relationship between work, rest, and play
Brain retrainers and self-healers learning to live in rigorous honesty with themselves and others, process challenging emotions such as anger and grief, and walk a healthy middle path that avoids both cynicism and toxic positivity
Burnt out and overwhelmed educators and activists who know there’s a more sustainable way to live, but don’t know where to start
Cycle breakers ready to transform intergenerational patterns of shame and fear
“What the books taught me, I’ve practiced.
What they didn’t teach me, I’ve taught myself.
I’ve gone into the forest and wrestled with the lion.
I didn’t get this far by teaching one thing and doing another.”
