Sometimes I speak and people pause — not because I say something clever,
but because something quiet becomes audible again.

Something that was here all along.

​

I’ve always been drawn to what lives beneath the surface —
the trembling behind the smile, the ache behind the armor.
Not to fix it, but to meet it.

​

For many years, I abandoned myself. I shrank. I hustled for love.
I thought I had to change, improve, perform.
Until my whole being said: enough.
The discomfort was too much to keep carrying in the old ways.

​

What followed was not a neat arrival, but a turning.
A softening toward what hurt.
A growing curiosity about confusion, doubt, and discomfort.
An ongoing journey of learning to meet myself — again and again —
with presence, with tenderness, with less urgency to fix.

​

This is still my path.
I’m not here because I have it all figured out.
I'm here because I’ve learned that the real transformation lies
in how we are with ourselves in the midst of it all.

​

I live in devotion to what is tender, real, and alive.
To the breathing, shifting aliveness that never needs to be perfected.

​

I am trained in Somatic Experiencing® and VITA™ Coaching,
and shaped by Authentic Relating, womb wisdom, movement, and song.

I sing in a Sufi Qawwali band and dance Contact Improvisation.
I have traveled through and partly lived in over 50 countries.
I once worked in politics and journalism.

​

Now, I am with people — gently, steadily — as they remember themselves.
As they descend into the truth of their body, their longing, their aliveness.

​

If you are longing for that too, you’re in the right place. Welcome.
