Imagine what might happen if, once a week, you gave yourself your undivided attention. Just to practice seeing yourself like you wish someone would. To practice loving yourself right here as you are. Can you imagine the scattered parts of you that might come together, organized around love? The wounded parts that might find they don’t have to be scared when you’re here? The self-security in knowing there’s nothing here that can’t be held, nothing too heavy that can’t be put down? Imagine… now let’s practice.

Next week I’m opening my heart, mind and body to receive your truth... fully, without reservation or judgement - to see you, to hold you, to love you just as you are... in this body. Welcome to the Self-Attuenment Lab.

This space is so special, so unique. It is the one place where you can perform nothing. Be fully the puddle, the ball of rage, the lumbering goober, the sleepy tenderness, the mess of it all. I invite you into your body - to be there with the you that carries the armor through your every day - to soften into the present moment and feel the floor beneath that tired body. Nothing to hold that can’t be held. Just you. Here for it all.

Find your way to events in my bio. I hope to see you there!

This caption might bring up some feels…
The truth is that my gender expression changes drastically from day to day and even more so across periods of my life. When I came out as nonbinary I thought that meant I couldn’t trust myself to know who I really was. I struggled to see myself in old pictures and judged myself for seeing what society has labeled “feminine” when I was questioning womanhood. These pictures made me feel alien to myself even when I remember feeling so beautiful in the moments they were taken. This isn’t every trans person’s experience but it is mine.

I am someone who struggled a ton with imposter syndrome.

I am someone who has looked in my closet and felt debilitating gender dysphoria. Though I have come to be grateful for keeping my clothing options open and not tossing every dress during the phases when all I wanted was to disappear in an oversized T.

I have loved the body that I am in and at times felt completely alien in my skin.

I have found myself in words like “nonbinary”, “trans” and “genderqueer” and I’ve deeply struggled with the implications claiming of those labels - both for myself and for those who’s experience within those terms are met with very different struggles than mine.

My transness is unique. My experience, my struggles, are very different than any other trans person and that is normal and true across the trans and nonbinary community.

The way I identify matters deeply to me. I am proud to be this complex, beautiful, fluctuating creature.

If you’re reading through this and seeing yourself, you’re not alone. The Nonbinary Support Group I offer is an amazing space to find support, feel understood, and come into your own with the help of others who’ve shared the journey.

The group is ongoing, but the next cohort starts next week. There’s still time to register so check my bio for the 🔗

🌱Nature heals and our bodies ARE nature. I’ve learned from indigenous wisdom that the idea that we are separate - from our bodies, from nature - is the disease. The separation feels immense, but the path home isn’t far away. It’s in you - it’s in us.

María Sabina Magdalena García reminds us of this when she speaks to our healing connection to the natural world. She says, “You are the medicine.”

For me, there has been nothing more healing than rebuilding trust in my body and its capacity for connection. and I are bringing together our favorite modalities for a day-long immersion to explore our connection to self as a path in healing ourselves, our relationships, and our world. We still have space and are offering a two-for-one buddy discount for the next week of registration. Come on in! Check the events out in my b¡0 link. 🔗 🤟🏼

I’m becoming more convinced every day that our connection to our bodies is a direct reflection of our connection to the collective. I see folks try to participate in social movements, try to be good partners and friends, pour themselves into service work only to burn out, feel lost, and have to disconnect to find themselves again. But when our connection to self is valued as an integral part of our place in the whole, things are different.

We are better resourced, have sustainable boundaries, risk more vulnerability because we in trust ourselves, and have a greater capacity to show up.

I see big game talked on the internet about embodiment, like I’m doing here… but what does it actually mean?

Fundamentally, I think that’s hard to describe in words cause it is by definition experiential - this connection with body is felt, not cerebrally learned. These paths get woven through noticing sensation, utilizing breath, and letting our bodies move how they need to.

My dear colleague and friend and I are combining our two favorite body-based modalities for a day-long immersion dedicated to inner exploration of the connection between body & mind, self & collective.

Come practice being humans in bodies together. There’s healing to be had, and connections to be made. Link 🔗 in b1o.

I’ll be offering multiple spaces over the next few months for self connection and deep embodied inquiry. Authentic movement is all about learning to listen - like, reeeeally listen - to your body. It builds a bridge to those hard to reach places so you can become more aware of what’s true deep down… and live a little more from a self-connected place.

Check out the event pages on my website for these upcoming events offerings. You know where to find the link. Feel free to reach out with any questions… even if you just find yourself curious. 💕🫧💕

Looking for an embodiment practice that heals?

I know I’m not the only one who struggles to heal by talking around what hurts. Sometimes words can’t touch the things that need healing most - but fortunately the body has a different way of processing.

With the next Authentic Movement retreat just around the corner I’ve been sharing a lot about the healing potential of this practice. Authentic Movement was the modality that finally allowed me to overcome my trauma spirals and actually move through the emotions that ultimately freed me. In over a decade of studying somatics, both as a human on my own healing journey and as a therapist, I’ve never found a more direct route to relief. That’s why I spent the last 7 years studying it.

Now this retreat isn’t therapy, but it certainly will be therapeutic. It is a weekend for people who:
🫧 are dedicated to developing self awareness

🫧 lust after moments of deep attunement

🫧 cherish opportunities to see themselves and others honestly.

Register soon cause space is limited. DM me with your questions.

In the meantime, share in the comments what’s interesting to you about a practice like this? 💕

My body has always known the way home. I believe yours does too.

Next upcoming retreat is Jan 24-26 in Corbett, OR. Two spots are still available.

This retreat is designed for people who already have a strong embodiment practice or are already familiar with Authentic Movement, and are seasoned travelers on their own healing path.

Grab your spot now, I would LOVE to share this opportunity with you. DM me if you have questions.

Over the last few weeks I have been blown away by the sheer magnitude of what my body can hold. Every day I sit with the grief, pain, terror, outrage, and confusion of those I hold professionally, met by my own. There were moments leading up to the election that I feared I wouldn’t be able to handle it - that the pain of the people, of the earth, and of my own process would far surpass my capacity.

But it hasn’t.

I have a release valve. One that allows me to feel what there is to be felt only in the dose that my body chooses. One that keeps my connected to my experience courageously and compassionately, rather than stuffing, or numbing, or white knuckling.

My Authentic Movement practice has saved me over the past few weeks. Through this practice, my mind gets a break and my body does exactly what it knows how to do: it keeps me well. With my eyes closed I allow my body to follow its impulses. I listen deeply and I let go. I don’t need to figure it out, or force myself to feel just to get through it. I let my intuition lead. This gives me something no politic spiral ever will, it gives me trust.

If you’d like to try Authentic Movement, the next cohort of the Self-Attunement Series begins Tuesday. I’d love to hold this space for you.

Today marks one year since one of my beloved teachers, Janet Adler, passed away. Janet’s dedication to the study of self, intimacy, and embodied consciousness inspires me every day to continue to revere my own body as my teacher, companion, and most cherished relationship. I am so grateful to her for leading me into my own inner wilderness by way of the Discipline of Authentic Movement. This practice has helped me know myself deeply, heal wounds nothing else could touch, and fall so deeply in love with being human. I am forever grateful.

I continue to learn from her every day I practice Authentic Movement every moment I open my attention towards my embodied experience and listen for my truth.

If you would like to learn from her too, I recommend her most recent book:

Intimacy in Emptiness: An Evolution of Embodied Consciousness

I think the impact that trauma has on our relationship to ourselves is one of the most insidious parts of this type of wounding. I believe that coming back to our bodies in a way that breeds more safety in our lives is an essential part of healing.

On the last slide of this informational post there are some offerings for ways you can practice with me.

I’m always here for 1:1 therapy or somatic coaching, but the more immediate opportunity is my Authentic Movement series which will begin next Tuesday, April 16th. Check out the l!ink in my b!o for more info.

Here’s to every moment we share and this love untamed by words.
