About

I am a Somatic Embodiment Trainer, Mystic, Artist, Caregiver, and Consultant based in NYC.For years, I worked in high-performance environments (tech, startups, high pressure businesses, leadership spaces) supporting individuals and teams. Alongside that, I separately explored mysticism, divinity, somatic practices, breath-work, yoga, and body-based movement.In this time I noticed:Many highly capable people understand their patterns. They’ve done therapy. They've read the books. But their bodies still run hot and they don't know why.

About My Somatic Practice

Somatic Training is the practice of recognizing that the body is displaying signals and sensations to communicate its needs.Integrating indigenous and ancient practices, we bypass the mind, and move directly with the body. We integrate the mind, simply as a tool to observe.My clients learn that surrender is a verb! And sensations are neutral data that tell a story.Whether I am working with individuals or organizations: I help to find alignment between values and behavior!

[Through collective memory, I journey with folks through trance meditation, dance, breath, and song. Together we find the medicinal toolkit that restores harmony in your body.]

My Art and 'Tings

My artistic mediums include time, memory, breath, movement, sound, touch, and sustenance. Because my medium is not bound to objects, my art can be felt as much as seen.Above, you can experience some images from my "remembering" journey.Because my labor is communally exchanged, You are welcome to support my work. Your support makes space for this work to continue.

Embracing Reclamation, Joy, and Freedom as an act of Active Resistance!

My Guiding Questions

• What does community and distribution of power, wealth, access, and privilege look like, while acknowledging dis-ease and collective deconstruction?• How do we choose liberation in times of war, without dissociating?• How to begin, again, when we inevitably become misaligned?• What happens when birth, wellness, and death are communal instead of medical events?• How can labor remain sacred inside of capitalism?• How do we preserve modern indigenous and black culture, medicine, art, and faith from constant extraction, perversion, bastardization, and appropriation?• How do we address dis-ease as a societal problem, instead of an individual symptom?

Body-Listening for Chronic Anxiety, Stress, or Illness Healing

You have lived with chronic anxiety, depression, or illness that are amplified by prolonged stress and nervous system dysregulation.You are ready to move slowly and consistently, and to listen to your body rather than override it.This process often stirs up a deconstruction of ablism, capitalistic work ethic, worthiness, medical and pathological indoctrination, and what it means to be "well".The process we use to stay safe in our bodies as we deconstruct this programming, and restore our vital life force is in alignment with natural order, are rooted in ancient practices.These principles have preserved for millennia, an rather than fixing or diagnosing, we focus on:
• increasing safety in the body
• restoring regulatory capacity
• strengthening vitality
• cultivating sustainable pacing
• building resilience without forceAs your system stabilizes, the body may begin to unwind stored stress and patterns of dis-ease at its own pace. Unlike therapy, we will spend less time in our minds, and more time reconnecting to embodied wisdom.

Liberation & Leadership Consulting for Teams

Many teams have visionary missions but operate inside structures built on stress, competition, perfectionism, hierarchy, urgency, blame and performative “correctness.”This work supports organizations ready to correct reactive cultures beginning with leadership.We begin by observing how stress moves through your leadership culture. Through structured leadership development and process implementation review, we identify where urgency, reactivity, or overextension are shaping behavior.Leaders will learn to recognize their own patterns and slow decision cycles before stress is projected onto teams. We then will identify 3–5 concrete adjustments in communication and policy expectations so that your stated values become easier to embody––and so that misalignment is easier to notice without shame or blame.Leadership teams will adopt systems that center collective wellness, communal leadership, and an organization that reflects your values.

Core Offering: Leadership Development and Organizational PlanningCustomized leadership development and workshopping for organizations ready to deconstruct imbalanced hierarchies, capitalistic pacing, and extractive labor models.This process transforms your organization’s foundation and requires deep transformational work from executive leadership.

3 Phase Core Program:

1. Clearing:Identify how colonial and capitalist ideals shape your operations.

  • Identify and name the colonial and capitalist patterns shaping your current operations

  • Examine how performative “allyship” and language reinforces avoidance, microaggressions, and disembodiment

  • Release perfectionism and the performative pursuit of “being right” to reorient toward presence, accountability, and relationship repair

  • Establish clear, non-punitive pathways for addressing harm, feedback, and misalignment

  • Create space for getting it wrong and communal discomfort while reshaping organizational structure

2. Grounding:Once we’ve witnessed and cleared what doesn’t serve, we will refine your mission, vision, purpose and values.

  • Revisit or rewrite your mission, vision, and values through a relational lens

  • Identify where current structures and workflows contradict your stated values and realign them with your living purpose

  • Shape decision-making, power distribution, and communication based in reciprocity and community

  • Identify gaps between stated values and lived practice

  • Develop principles that guide leadership, compensation, and collaboration

3. Ritualizing:Create living practices that keep these values alive.

  • Design rituals and recurring practices that make your values visible and felt in daily operations

  • Shape leadership rhythms that support mission alignment, from how meetings open, to how success is defined, to how repair is made

  • Leave with a living, iterative framework to carry forward across hiring, onboarding, and team culture

Who is this for?
This process is for organizations, collectives, and leadership teams that:

  • Have outgrown DEI training and want systemic deconstruction

  • Feel tension between public values, and internal practices

  • Want to challenge settler colonial leadership philosophy

  • Notice staff or leadership are expressing burnout, disconnection, or misalignment

  • Are entering a new phase — expansion, leadership transition, or strategic planning — and want to ground it in non-western philosophies

Somatic Yoga and Breathwork

When to Engage in This Program?

  • When you’ve reached the limits of traditional DEI and leadership training

  • When internal conflict, fatigue, or turnover suggest deeper cultural misalignment

  • When you’re refining your mission, preparing for a major transition, or restructuring leadership

  • When you’re ready to slow down, reflect, and reorient toward natural relationships

Each engagement begins with a discovery call to understand your organization’s readiness and desired rhythm of transformation.From there, we co-design a container that fits your structure, capacity, and goals.Leadership Development or Consulting Available
