what I do

(and what I don't)

I help cultivate skills for navigating stress that are:

• evidence-based
• trauma-informed
• embodied
• simple
• accessible
• collaborative
• alchemical - not just for enduring more, but for changing systems
• solid, flexible, standalone practices
• complementary to existing therapy practices
• founded in comfort, support, and ease

While effects can feel therapeutic, my services are not interchangeable with:

• therapy services
• trauma-healing
• life-coaching
• group therapy

These practices focus on stabilizing and mental/emotional triage in moments of stress in order to reconnect with a sense of safety, comfort, and rootedness. They are not a substitute for long-term processing of trauma.

Here’s what we aren’t doing:

• out-of-body experiences
• spiritual bypassing
• trauma-bonding
• get-healed-quick "shortcuts"
• stress-shaming
• toxic positivity (aka dismissal)
• practices requiring you to barrel through discomfort
• practices that ignore the socio-political realities of living within systems of oppression
