From Business to Embodiment

Before becoming a somatic practitioner, I spent years immersed in business and leadership development. I know what it means to strive, to build, to carry responsibility and deliver results while quietly sensing that something essential has been lost along the way.

At some point, I could no longer override the cost. The body always speaks. Mine was calling for truth, for rest, for reconnection. I didn’t begin this path to help others, I began it to find my way back to myself. I turned toward the body because I needed to. I began studying somatic modalities, trauma work, depth psychology, and hands-on bodywork to reclaim the presence I had abandoned. Only later did this journey expand into holding space for others. What began as a personal return became a professional calling rooted in lived experience, not theory.

My work now bridges the worlds of performance and presence, of intellect and intuition, of nervous system awareness and emotional depth. I support people in leading from within, in their relationships, their purpose, and their leadership. This is not about surface-level change, but about remembering what is already inside, ready to come alive.

For many years, I searched outside of myself, trying to fit into systems, identities, and roles that never fully held me. It was through women’s work that I first found something that did. Sitting in circles with women who were walking the path of self-awareness, embodiment, and emotional truth gave me permission to meet myself more deeply. These early experiences were less about technique and more about transmission. I was surrounded by powerful, real women who weren’t afraid to feel, to speak truth, to rage, to cry, to soften. I began to understand the medicine of being witnessed. I found my voice. My tears. My boundaries. My softness. My spine.

Women’s circles became the first sacred ground from which everything else grew.

Eventually, my journey brought me back to the body. While I had done years of self-development and spiritual work, it wasn’t until I experienced body dearmouring that I truly landed in my body. It cracked me open in ways that words never could. It taught me that trauma, shame, grief, and aliveness all live in our tissues and that we don’t need to "fix" ourselves, but rather, feel ourselves into wholeness. That experience led me to begin learning the art of body dearmouring, first as a recipient, and then as a practitioner. I learned how to hold space for others to meet what their bodies were ready to release, with presence, clarity, and love.

Yet I wanted more than intuition, I wanted structure. So, I dove into a full training in Myofascial Energetic Release, a deeply technical and precise method of working with fascia, the nervous system, and the energetic body. This training gave me the anatomical understanding and hands-on skill to meet the body at a physical level, while never losing the emotional and energetic intelligence that I’d already cultivated.

This was a pivotal integration for me: where science met spirit, and technique met intuition.

I then turned toward the psyche. The deeper I went in my bodywork practice, the more I saw that physical tension and emotional patterns were often rooted in unconscious material, stories, roles, and identities formed long before words. I wanted to meet that layer with more precision. So I trained as a Jungian coach through an ICF-accredited school, learning how to work with shadow, archetypes, and the power of the unconscious. Jungian work brought depth and language to what I had always intuitively felt. It gave me tools to help clients not just release, but integrate, to reclaim the exiled parts of themselves and bring their unconscious into conscious embodiment.

As my work deepened, I felt called to explore intimacy not just sexuality, but the kind of presence and relating that can awaken our deepest truths. I trained in intimacy and polarity work with John Wineland, whose lineage combines depth, embodiment, and devotional presence. This work brought a new layer into my practice: helping couples and individuals show up in their relationships not from patterns, but from embodied integrity. I learned how the nervous system plays a central role in love, conflict, and connection and how sacred intimacy can only happen when both people feel safe to be fully seen.

But there was still one thread missing: trauma.

Over the years, I had witnessed and experienced how unresolved trauma lives in the body and shapes our responses, our relationships, and our capacity for joy. I saw how even the most devoted seekers could remain stuck in loops of reactivity, disembodiment, or self-protection. To meet this with depth and professionalism, I became a fully certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). This training changed everything. It gave me the ability to meet trauma with precision, patience, and respect for the body’s innate wisdom. I learned how to track nervous system responses, titrate intensity, and support clients to renegotiate their past, not by re-living it, but by integrating it, gently and thoroughly.

Somatic Experiencing became the spine of my work. It brought everything together: the body, the psyche, the nervous system, the emotions, and the soul. I came to understand that trauma isn’t in the event itself, but in how our system reacts and perceives it. As Peter Levine says, “Trauma is something that happens too much, too fast, or too soon.” It’s not the story, it’s the overwhelm. It taught me that trauma lives in the disconnection from self, from safety, from presence. And that true embodiment is not about fixing or transcending anything, but about slowly returning to that connection one breath, one sensation, one truth at a time.

To deepen this path, I’m currently studying Bodynamic with Ditte Marcher, the daughter of its founder, Lisbeth Marcher. Bodynamic is a somatic developmental psychology model that maps how different muscles develop in relation to specific developmental stages and psychological themes. It’s a highly nuanced and deeply respectful approach to trauma and personal growth, one that recognizes how the body holds the imprints of our earliest relational experiences, long before we had words to describe them. This work is giving me new tools to help clients restore agency and coherence in their system, not by overriding their patterns, but by understanding how those patterns were once intelligent strategies for survival.

Today, I stand as a somatic practitioner with a grounded, integrated approach to transformation. I don’t offer quick fixes. I don’t believe in bypassing. I guide people into the intelligence of their own body, into the truths they’ve learned to avoid, and into the fullness of who they already are. My work weaves together myofascial release, dearmouring, trauma renegotiation, archetypal coaching, polarity, and embodied leadership.

I now support individuals, couples, and groups across the world. I teach practitioners to become safe, skillful, and embodied in their own work. I co-create trainings and workshops that open new pathways to intimacy, sovereignty, and presence. And I continue to be a student of life, letting my own experience, relationships, and nervous system be the greatest teacher of all.

My path began with what I didn’t receive. But today, I offer what I always longed for: depth, safety, embodiment, truth, and connection.

And I welcome others into that space, not as someone who has it all figured out, but as someone who has walked the path and is devoted to walking it still.

My Purpose

My purpose is to create spaces of deep presence where individuals and couples reconnect with their true essence beyond survival strategies, stories, and conditioning. Through somatic work, embodied inquiry, and relational presence, I support people in remembering who they are beneath the patterns, and in living, leading, and loving from that place. I walk alongside those who are ready to live their truth, meet their shadows with compassion, and embody their full aliveness in the body, in relationship, and in the world.

This purpose lives through everything I do from one-on-one bodywork and immersive journeys to workshops and trainings, to guiding leaders into the next paradigm of embodied leadership.

I choose the word purpose because it speaks to something alive, rooted, and ongoing. It’s not a fixed outcome or a future ideal. Purpose is not about achieving something out there it’s about being in alignment with what deeply matters, right now.

A mission can feel like a task. A vision often points to a distant horizon. But purpose is lived. It’s embodied. It evolves as I evolve. My purpose is not just what I do it’s how I show up, how I listen, how I relate, and how I serve.

It’s not about building an empire. It’s about walking in integrity, presence, and connection moment by moment, breath by breath.
