Working with the Body, Mind, and Nervous System for Deep and Lasting Change
I collaborate with clients to help them learn more about how the mind, body, and nervous system inter-relate in creating our experience in the world.
Together we will work with the autonomic nervous system, the somatic body felt sense, the relational system, and the internal family system to generate a clearer connection to who we really are and how we want to show up in the world.
We’ll use tools that fit your personal needs allowing you to process trauma and lead you to all the benefits of a well-regulated nervous system.
About Me
I have a long-standing interest in somatic work. My journey began with my Zen Buddhist training at a monastery in Hawaii as a young adult. This training showed me that careful attention to the body and breath can be a gateway into a deeper understanding of oneself. I pursued an extensive study and practice of mind-body-spirit work using bodywork and somatic modalities to help refine my understanding of how embodiment can lead us toward a more complete and fulfilling sense of ourselves.
In 2012, I founded Red Beard Somatic Therapy, where I began incorporating neurobiological work to create an aligned, comprehensive approach to supporting clients who experienced different facets of trauma in their lives.
The different modalities I use help clients understand their internal selves, identify their inner landscape, and better understand why they feel, act, and react the way they do. This supports you in creating a more harmonious relationship with your inner self and allows you to grow, heal, and find balance in your life.
my Approach
connect with your self
As a certified coach, somatic practitioner, and bodywork therapist, I use tools from all my practices and therapies to provide you with a uniquely individualized holistic treatment plan that helps you to connect with your embodied self.
These interwoven services create a comprehensive program to heal, learn, and transition to align with your mind, body, and autonomic nervous system. I will support you in creating a deep connection within yourself to allow you to regulate your nervous system, recover from trauma, use self-practiced movements for support, and use specialized somatic coaching to reach your goals.
Together, we work to provide a safe and integrative program that supports you in moving forward in your life with a sense of self-awareness and sustainable change to live the life you want.

Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems (IFS) coaching seeks to explore how your various ‘parts’ are organized, which creates greater harmony and balance within the internal system. By working with your inner landscape, you are able to develop your sense of Self that can become the guiding force in leading a life in alignment with your true path.
TRE - Tension & Trauma Release
TRE - Tension & Trauma Release
TRE® is a unique approach that uses a simple technique incorporating exercises to release stress or tension from the body that accumulates from everyday life circumstances. Movement and breath work stimulates a ‘neurogenic tremor’ process in the body, a gentle vibration. This practice can be developed into a self-practice that you can use for lifelong self-care.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting
Brainspotting™ (BSP) is an innovative neurobiological brain-body treatment for naturally healing from stress, anxiety, and depression and expanding performance and creativity. The principle is that how we direct our gaze is connected with our internal brain. We can use specific eye positioning to create lasting changes in our brain patterns around stress and trauma. BSP accesses the deepest regions of the brain where “neuroplasticity” can reawaken neural networks to allow hope and positive change. It is highly effective for healing trauma, releasing mental blocks, and maximizing creative potential.
DARe Attachment Coaching
DARe Attachment Coaching
DARe (Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning Experience) is a somatic attachment approach to help clients develop stronger and more secure Attachment Patterns. This results in more successful and happy adult relationships and helps you better understand early childhood and later attachment patterns. This provides a practical application and strategy to effectively work to help resolve early attachment wounding and shift toward healthy connections and genuine relationships.
