How I Work

I don’t believe clarity comes from trying harder.

Most of us were taught to navigate change through logic, planning, and effort. But when the nervous system perceives uncertainty, it activates protective strategies designed to keep us safe — not aligned.

That’s why insight alone often isn’t enough.

The core premise

Humans are animals with nervous systems shaped for survival.

When survival is prioritized:

  • the ego tightens around familiar strategies

  • the body resists change, even when change is needed

  • clarity becomes inaccessible

This is not resistance.
It’s intelligence.

My approach

My work integrates:

  • nervous system awareness

  • the ego as a survival strategy (not an enemy)

  • somatic practices that restore regulation

  • coherence as the foundation for clarity

  • embodied discernment over forced decision-making

When the body feels safer, truth becomes available again.

Not dramatically.
Not all at once.
But steadily and reliably.

What coherence means here

Coherence is a state of internal alignment — where the body, emotions, and thinking are no longer working against each other.

In coherence:

  • attention widens

  • the mind quiets

  • the body offers information

  • inner knowing becomes perceptible

This is the state from which aligned action emerges.

Important to name

This work is:

  • gentle, not bypassing

  • grounded, not abstract

  • invitational, not prescriptive

For people with significant trauma, reconnecting with the body can take time. That pace is respected here. There is no expectation to “feel something” or access insight on demand.

Safety comes first.
