Hi…. so glad you are here!

I was born and raised in LA, and moved to San Diego to attend SDSU and never looked back.

I am a Trauma-Informed Breathwork and Somatic Practitioner. I have an undeniable passion for educating others on the nervous system, unconscious patterning, and nervous system regulation tools to become safe in your body. Breathwork and Somatics continues to be a significant part of myhealing journey, my story is just proof of the power of this work.

From as far back as I can remember, have had an interest in health. After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2010, I was confused and sad, having seemed to be doing everything right as far as diet and exercise.

I turned to using my mind trying to control and fix it, seeking knowledge to figure out what would make me better which caused health anxiety. Disassociating, from my body and emotions was familiar to me, which was making me feeling exhausted, frustrated, and stuck in my head, not recognizing that it was my body that was asking for attention. 

I worked out my whole life; sports, crossfit, hiking but never tried slower modailites like yoga. After my talk therapist suggested it, I walked into my first yoga studio which is where I found a Breathwork class so I decided to attend. “During my first class, I cried and cried. I was uncomfortable and did not want to go back, but my body was calling me to return.”  I could no longer escape my pain, grief, and anxiety, it was time to go within and face the sadness, childhood abandonment, sexual trauma, and dysregulated nervous system. I went every Sunday night to that Breathwork class for a year.

Now, I was aware of my childhood wounds and limiting beliefs through talk therapy, but realized I didn’t know how to feel safe inside, being relaxed and grounded felt uncomfortable. When you are in chronic state of fight or flight and dissociation, it is hard to feel that internal safety, so everything felt like a threat so I was hyperviligent and in survival mode.

My healing began with learning how to calm and regulate my nervous system, so I could feel safe within myself. That safety allowed me to gently connect with my childhood wounds, notice the ways I had been protecting myself through perfectionism, people-pleasing, or overachieving and begin to sit with my emotions and pain to allow them to be seen, heard and intergrated.

The Three part Circular Breathwork, somatic therapy, parts work and regualtion tools created awareness and safety, and ultimately space, to make different choices, embodying my truths not just in my head but in my heart, stepping into my true self, coming home!

Everything you need to heal is already inside you. Through this work, we’ll release limiting beliefs shaped by years of pain and invite in a new experience of safety, self-worth, joy, and the deep knowing that you are enough

Let’s do it together! Begin here

**Breathwork is a powerful tool and needs to be facilitated very mindfully with intentional awareness of dissociation and disconnection. So having a guide that is trained with a trauma-informed lens is critical.
