Helping you return to your body as sacred ground
Long before words arise, the body holds our stories—our joys, our wounds, and the quiet wisdom of resilience. Somatic healing is the practice of listening deeply to the body’s language: breath, sensation, movement, and stillness. By bringing awareness to these subtle signals, we open the doorway to release tension, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with our natural vitality.
Embodied spirituality invites us to experience awakening not as an abstract idea, but as a lived, felt presence in every cell. Instead of seeking transcendence by leaving the body behind, we learn to return home to the body as sacred ground. Through mindfulness, breathwork, yoga, and contemplative practices, the body becomes a temple of awareness—a place where spirit and matter meet.
This path is about integration: tending to trauma with compassion, cultivating inner safety, and allowing spiritual insight to be lived in daily life. Somatic healing and embodied spirituality support wholeness, reminding us that awakening is not apart from the body—it is discovered through the body.
A little bit about my path….
For much of my adult life, I have been devoted to the study and practice of contemplative traditions, particularly Vajrayana Buddhism. Rooted in the Mahayana, Vajrayana is sometimes described as an “extraction” or flowering of that tradition, carrying forward its vision of awakening through compassion and wisdom. Vajrayana offers direct methods — meditation, ritual, visualization, and embodied practices — to recognize the luminous nature of mind and the sacredness of body and world.
Central to both Mahayana and Vajrayana is the path of the bodhisattva — the vow to awaken not for oneself alone, but for the benefit of all beings. This path anchors us in life and relationship, asking us to embody compassion not as an ideal, but as a lived reality in our heart, mind, and body. The bodhisattva path reminds us that every moment — in healing, in struggle, in daily life — is an opportunity to cultivate presence, open-heartedness, and care.
I spent more than a decade living and studying in Nepal, completing over three years of traditional meditation retreats. These retreats were a profound training in presence and compassion — learning to rest with the mind as it is, to open the heart in all circumstances, and to experience awakening as inseparable from the body.
This grounding in Vajrayana and the bodhisattva vow continues to inspire and guide my work. It is the thread that weaves through my somatic practice, yoga teaching, and psychotherapy — reminding me, and those I work with, that the body is sacred ground, and that healing and awakening are paths of compassion walked together.
Buddhist Somatics
Buddhist Somatics & Nejang is a contemplative, body-centered practice that combines the mindful, insight-based approach of Buddhist somatics with the healing touch of Tibetan Nejang. Through gentle, precise bodywork, awareness of sensation, and mindful attention to breath and posture, this practice helps release tension, dissolve emotional and energetic blockages, and restore the natural flow of energy. It invites you to reconnect deeply with your body, cultivate presence and compassion, and awaken a sense of wholeness and embodied clarity.
