“ How am I to train the Power in me? ”
Chuang Tzu — The Inner Chapters
For the past twenty years, I’ve offered mentorship, coaching, education and guidance to youth and adults. I support clients to grow safe and secure relationships with themselves, other people and the more-than-human world.
The internal revolution is my focus - in my personal and professional life. To be witnessed in shifting one’s inner landscape is a form of deeply needed activism.
My passion rests within the process of transformation. My joy dwells in the power of de-colonizing the imagination. My work resides in subtle movements of alchemizing beauty and suffering into healing and belonging.
