Beneath the beliefs and patterns we develop to navigate life, there is something deeper — an essential nature that has always been there, uniquely our own.
Like a seed carrying the blueprint of the tree it will become, each of us carries an inherent potential that is ours to unfold.
As we grow up, we become increasingly identified with the personality we have developed, mistaking its patterns, beliefs and fears for the whole of who we are. Without realizing it, we keep following the familiar patterns of our personality, taking us further from our essential nature and the deeper calling of the soul.
And yet, something within us continues to call us home.
We may feel it as longing, restlessness, a recurring dream, or the quiet sense that something is missing. Looking back, we can often see the thread that was there all along — moments, questions and experiences pointing us toward something deeper.
Perhaps some of our suffering is a kind of homesickness: an ache to return to what we have never truly lost.
The Enneagram is a sacred map that helps us see what is operating beneath the surface — where we are caught, what keeps us there, and the direction that leads us home.
But insight alone is not enough. The patterns of our personality live in the body — in our tensions, reactions and deeply ingrained ways of protecting ourselves. We cannot simply think our way free of them.
The journey home asks us to enter the body and become present to what has been held there, gradually loosening the patterns that have kept us bound to who we thought we needed to be. As they loosen, we make room for more of ourselves and for the deeper qualities of our nature that have been there all along.
This is a journey toward wholeness: loosening what has kept us bound, releasing what is no longer ours to carry, remembering what has been forgotten, and becoming more fully who we are.

The journey is one of remembering
there is more to who we are
deep within, we know

"After many losses of contact with who we are, we begin to take ourselves to be what we are not."
Over the years, that curiosity has taken me down many paths, but finding the Enneagram was a turning point. It gave me a way of understanding myself and others that went far beyond personality traits. It showed me the patterns I had been living from without even knowing they were there, and opened the door to a more profound inner journey.
Eventually, I began to understand that awareness alone could only take me so far. I could understand my patterns and still find myself living them. The work needed to move out of my head and into my body.
My path continued through somatic work, inner journeying and experiences with plant medicine. These opened me to parts of myself that could not be reached through understanding alone and brought me into a more direct relationship with the body, the unconscious and the sacred.
In recent years, that path has also brought me into a closer relationship with nature, ceremony and earth-based traditions, and with the mystery that first drew me inward all those years ago.
All of this has shaped how I understand healing today. I have come to see that healing is not about fixing or improving ourselves, but about becoming more present to what is already here, loosening what keeps us bound, and remembering more of who we are.
This is the place I work from with others. I bring together the Enneagram, somatic inner journey work, ceremony and earth-based practices, drawing from both my training and my own lived experience. I continue to be a student of this work myself, listening, learning and allowing my understanding to evolve.
What matters most to me is creating a space where you feel safe enough to slow down, listen inward, and meet yourself more honestly and with compassion — allowing whatever is ready to be seen to emerge in its own time.
I’ve always been drawn to psychology and spirituality, to mystery and the unseen. These were the places that felt rich and meaningful to me. I wanted to go deeper, to understand what was beneath the surface and explore what might exist beyond what we can readily see or explain.
I'm so happy you are here.

My work brings together the Enneagram, somatic practice, inner journeying, ceremony and earth-based traditions. Each person comes to this work from a different place.
The Enneagram helps us discern where attention is most needed, while the body and deeper inner work allow us to explore what may not be accessible through understanding alone. Depending on what is present, our work may include Enneagram exploration, somatic practice, guided and interactive inner journeys, imagery, shamanic journeying, ritual or ceremony, and connection with the natural world.
The work unfolds in relationship with what is here, rather than following a predetermined path.
