"Do not try to save
the whole world
or do anything grandiose.
Instead, create
a clearing
in the dense forest
of your life
and wait there
patiently,
until the song
that is your life
falls into your own cupped hands
and you recognize and greet it.
Only then will you know
how to give yourself to this world
so worthy of rescue."

If we work together, you can expect to:
​​
1. Heal your nervous system from the impacts of burnout.
​
Burnout is what happens when our nervous systems are exposed to chronic overwhelm and overstimulation. When our nervous systems get overloaded in this way, there are physiological and psychological symptoms such as: ​​​​
​
-Digestive issues and changes in appetite
-Sleep problems
-Fatigue
-Chronic pain flare-ups
-Hypersensitivity or numbness
-Anxiety and depression
-Low libido
-Feeling of disconnection in relationships
-Lack of motivation, focus, inspiration, and creativity
​
​
NOTE: Burnout is not your fault. You aren’t "doing it"wrong. We live inside exploitative external systems like capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy that make it nearly impossible to get what we need for body systems to thrive (especially for marginalized bodies and highly sensitive nervous systems). We are taking in 24 hour global news cycles, addictive social media feeds and fluorescent lights instead of morning sunlight, home cooked seasonal meals, and the nourishment of friendship. We live in isolated nuclear families and many of us don't have the support we need. We don't have time or space to process our emotions. In many cases, we are stuck working long hours in a role that doesn't allow us to express our creativity or offer our gifts to the world.
In our work together, we will uncover what supports your unique nervous system to heal from the impacts of burnout. We will use a variety of healing modalities including yoga, ayurveda, breathwork, meditation, reiki, and the Safe and Sound Protocol.
​
2. Find ways to use your creative energy wisely in service of a more beautiful personal and collective future.
I believe that your creative energy is meant to be expressed. Your unique creative footprint is necessary for your most fulfilling personal reality and a more beautiful collective future.
Do you have a longing to start painting? To make gorgeous meals for your family? To start a blog or write a book? To grow your own healing business or found a non-profit?
​
In our work together, we will uncover what you are meant to create next in this world and develop an action plan to reach your creative goals (without sacrificing your body’s needs and ending up back in burnout).
