REIKI MASTER | RYT
As a fat, queer, awkward, and anxious human navigating this world, I am deeply passionate about creating inclusive and accessible, trauma-informed spaces where everyone is invited to release shame, unravel their chaos, reconnect with their body, and unapologetically take up space.
My healing journey began in 2015 when I found myself suddenly dissociated from my body due to PTSD and prolonged anxiety. A counselor suggested meditation as a way to ground myself again, and that experience sparked a feral curiosity to explore my inner landscape. This curiosity led me to a variety of transformative healing modalities, each one giving me new tools to navigate life.
Yoga and Reiki became two pivotal modalities in my journey, arriving in my life exactly when I needed them. These practices created the space for me to exist fully—something I had never allowed myself before. Today, I am grateful to be a certified 200-hour yoga teacher in both Hatha and Kundalini, and to have completed all three levels of Usui Reiki training under the guidance of the wonderful Whitney Goachee.
Over the years, my understanding of healing has evolved, meeting me where I am in each chapter of my life. Healing is often awkward, chaotic, and messy. I’m a perpetual work in progress, learning to live authentically, to embrace the highs and lows, and to take up space—always with the hope of empowering others to feel safe enough to be messy, too.
I look forward to witnessing this part of your journey. ❤
