Transformational Coaching

Reiki

Intuitive, warm, humorous, and grounded are words others have used to describe me. Born and raised near the Santa Monica mountains of Southern California, my path has included a variety of experiences that influence how I show up in the world. I hold a master's degree in counseling psychology and have nearly a decade of experience as a therapist, working with youth, families, and individuals in community-based settings, schools, and foster care. Additionally, I ran a professional birth doula business. Currently, I work as a life coach, helping others "birth" their authentic selves. Before this, I lived in Northern New Mexico, where I helped establish school gardens and implemented environmental education programs. When I'm not working, I can be found hiking, practicing yoga, dancing, engrossed in a creative project, or simply cradling a cup of coffee and taking in the view of the pine trees outside my home in Truckee.Show More

Myofascial Release

I began dancing in a studio when I was 3 years old, and embodiment has been my saving grace through childhood neglect and trauma, 2 divorces, loss of children, domestic violence, sexual assault and more. Many times in my life I didn't quite know how I could go on living, or if I wanted to. Every time something expansive and full of light would anchor me into the path of choosing life and choosing myself no matter how difficult the uphill climb seemed. After persevering so many challenges in my life, I am devoted to supporting others in their path back to self-love, peace, joy, and wholeness. My love for dance translated into a love for studying the human body, psyche, and spirit/soul and I have been on an epic journey of deep study and education to better inform my healing path and those I assist. I am a life-long learner and will continue to dive into spaces and places where I can continue to learn and expand. I am a 500 ERYT Yoga Instructor and Facilitator, have a Pre/Post Natal Fitness Emphasis, am certified in myofascial rolling and release, love supporting cycling beings and girls and women, and the masculine who wants to learn to support women and children. I am a beautiful blend of practical and esoteric, weaving my intuitive magic and vast array of skills and lenses to help the individual drawn to work with me. Whether you need help in the physical plane with your body and sexuality/sensuality, your mind/thoughts and how to interact with others and the world, or are feeling stuck in spiritual/soulful realms, I've got you.Show More

Wilderness Therapy

I’ve spent most of my life guiding people through mountains, rivers, and personal transformation. What began as a career in outdoor education and ski coaching evolved into a calling: helping others navigate the inner terrain of growth and healing. After two decades of guiding and teaching around the world, I founded ACE CoLab — Adventure. Connect. Evolve — to bring together the best of movement, mindfulness, and coaching. My path weaves through high peaks and deep introspection — from training ski professionals and leading expeditions, to studying integrative health, mind-body medicine, and wellness coaching. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that transformation doesn’t just happen on the mountain — it happens in how we show up for ourselves every day. Healing is a process of remembering our wholeness, reconnecting with what truly matters, and aligning how we live with who we are becoming.Show More

Spiritual Healing

My path into healing work was deeply personal, as I'm sure most of us share this sentiment. For much of my life, anxiety was a constant companion, along with periods of depression, numbing, and the effects of a childhood marked by instability. Like many who step into this work, the journey began with a simple desire to understand why certain patterns felt so difficult to change, and more importantly how to begin the shedding of these outdated stories and negative looping. Over time, that search led to deep inner work and eventually to hypnotherapy and subconscious healing. These approaches revealed something powerful: many of the struggles people carry live beneath conscious awareness, within the nervous system and subconscious mind. When those deeper layers begin to shift, lasting change becomes possible. What inspires this work mostly for me is witnessing the moment someone realizes they are not broken and that the patterns holding them back can soften, shift, and transform. Because beneath the anxiety, overwhelm, and coping mechanisms, there has always been a whole and capable part of us waiting to be remembered. At its heart, this work is about one simple truth: people are far more capable of change than they have been led to believe.Show More
