Her work centers on guiding people out of survival and through threshold states. These are moments where structures of old identity tend to dissolve; supporting a powerful process of returning and opening to a more authentic and expressed version of Self.
Her background spans from nervous system led leadership/ parts work, trauma physiology, breathwork, to offering conscious rage spaces for both mens and women's groups. She has led immersive international retreats, facilitator trainings, and year long mentorship containers around the world and is known for her grounded presence and ability to support deep processes while maintaining safety and agency.

DARK RETREAT PHILOSOPHY
"The darkness is some of my favorite medicine when approached with the right preparation and integration. For me it represents where all of creation stems from - a womb or void of sorts. It's profoundly simple, self-led, and incredibly humbling. I believe our culture is in dire need of it: to come back to self, spirit, and heart without so much stimulus or substances. I've had some of the most profound, grounded experiences of my life in darkness retreats. That this ancient practice is being brought back to life gives me great joy."
