things I think about... structure and freedom
yield and activation
the poetry of patterns
A bit about me... a somatic being and kinesthetic learner, I spend my time dancing, hiking, being in nature, reading books, creating everyday sacred and profane rituals for myself and with friends, and living life with my partner. I'm inspired by working with people through touch therapy, and blessed to have work that I truly enjoy doing.
