Are you ever confused about how you're feeling?
Ever struggle to recognize the shapes and shades of emotions in yourself or others?
Do you have a safe zone when it comes to what emotions or ways you're allowed to feel?
Great! I have something for you.
First know this- You're not alone! I know these feelings well. The pressure, the insecurity, the discomfort, the longing for connection. They all can make a heart really heavy.
And we must remember -This sensing meaning making machine we call a body didn't come with a manual or a solid set of instructions. Many of us are out here suffering and white knuckling life with confusion, disconnect and overwhelm.
But! You are in great luck!
Because I have stumbled, tried, failed, and succeeded in learning how to use this instrument of mystery (the body) to access an unlimited inner intelligence & loving resource that knows exactly what to do, how to do it, and when to do it.
And I'd like show you how, so you can have your very own personal wisdom bank accessible to you at all times!
Imagine being able to
💫Use your body as a compass for your life.
💫Recognize emotions- yours and others.
💫Say yes and no guilt-free.
💫Give and receive kindness freely.
💫Rest in a light heart during dark times.
Best part of all, it's mostly fun and games... and a lot of participatory mystery magic.
This is not a typical training, this is a live, in the moment experience occurring purely to help you have more clarity, resilience, and fun in life. Miracles might occur.
The things you will learn in this class are priceless. Real access to real wisdom in your very own body- generated by you, for you, with you, for your highest and greatest good.
I guarantee you will experience a body-based clarity like you have never before or your money back.
So Don't Wait!
Join me for an experiential afternoon of art, movement, and mindful play designed to help you have more fun and feel more comfortable in your own skin.
This space welcomes:
🌱 Neurospicy (neurodivergent) humans
🌱 Those healing from chronic stress
🌱 Anyone learning to trust their body
No experience needed—just come as you are, ready to move, feel, and play.

Join us for She Stands: Presence in Practice – Belonging Series, a four-part gathering where we explore the essence of true connection through breath, movement, and collective rhythm.

-
Collective Rhythm & Heartbeat Prayer to feel the power of shared pulse and presence.
-
Community Reflection & Dialogue to be seen, heard, and held.
Why Belonging?
To belong is to be held within the heart of another. It is to feel your breath mirrored, your story witnessed, and your presence mattering. This series is an invitation to step back into that sacred space—together.

The Invisible Exchange: Reclaiming Your Nervous System In A Digital World
Ongoing Online & In-Person Class coming Winter 2025
Your nervous system wasn’t designed for endless scrolls.
In our digital world, we often give away more than we realize. Our attention, nervous system, sense of time, even our self-worth—subtly sacrificed in exchange for convenience, connection, or a quick dopamine hit.
This workshop is a reclamation.
Join us for a body-based conversation about technology.
In this 90-minute experiential gathering, we’ll explore what feels good and what doesn’t in our relationship with technology—through the wisdom of your own body.
Together we’ll:
-
Use somatic inquiry to map how different tech platforms live in your nervous system
-
Uncover what’s unconsciously being exchanged when we scroll, click, and consume
-
Reclaim a sense of agency, choice, and awareness
This isn’t about ditching your phone. It’s about coming back into right relationship—with your body, your attention, and your tech.
✨ Perfect for those feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or simply curious about how to engage tech more consciously.✨

Location: Zoom

Dates: 2nd & 4th Saturdays of the month
-
Time: 10:30 am - 12:00pm Mountain Time

PULSE CHECK
Check-in every Monday at 8:00 am Mountain Time
Are you alive out there?! Pulse check!
Join us for a Pulse Check, a live 20-minute weekly gathering on Zoom where we pause, tune in, and connect to the heart of what's moving through us—individually and collectively.
Each session begins with a brief reading, quote, or reflection to inspire clarity and compassion, followed by a simple heartbeat prayer we share together, hand to heart.
This is not about fixing or performing—it’s about feeling the pulse of the moment, honoring what’s real, and remembering we’re not alone. Whether you come once or every week, your presence adds to the shared rhythm.
