​WELCOME
TO PRACTICING
NERVOUS SYSTEM CARE​
I specialize in somatic practices, including Somatic Therapy and Sensorial Yoga—body-based approaches to well-being.
My focus includes, but is not limited to, chronic stress and trauma processing, life transitions (e.g., post-migration, seasonal affective difficulties), and neurodiversity-affirming support.
​
I offer one-on-one sessions online worldwide and work with groups and communities as an advocate, activist, and facilitator.
​
My work goes beyond nervous system regulation. In my own experience, is essential cultivate accuracy on our internal felt sense, building up capacity, tolerance, and embodied self-awareness to preventing getting stuck in cycles of stress, overwhelming emotions and energy depletion.
​
The key aspects of the process when working with me include exploring a felt sense of inner safety, increasing embodied self-awareness, reconnecting with your natural rhythms, and embracing all parts of yourself.
​​
​​​​
​​​I know from my lived experience with complex trauma, immigration, and chronic illness that we all need an internal sense of safety, genuine support, and commitment to embark on a journey of recovery, change, and healing.
​
Connecting with our sensations and feelings is not always easy. For a long time, I felt disconnected from my body. It took me years to understand that dissociation was how my nervous system learned to cope and that emotional dysregulation is a manifestation of our body’s physiology responding to unmet psychological and relational needs.
​
​​​​I am a curious lifelong student. In my search for tools for well-being, I discovered yoga and Vipassana meditation, both of which have been part of my life for over 13 years. Working as a therapist and facilitator makes self-knowledge a priority for me. Through trying different therapeutic modalities on myself, I have found that including the body in the process is essential.
​
The practical ethics of yoga constantly remind me of the unified nature of the immanent and the transcendent. My experience as an occupational therapist gives me a scientific drive and emphasizes practical care in daily living.

Today, I feel honored to help others from the holistic perspective of somatic therapy. You can read more about my expertise, training, and work experience here.
