A Little About Me

I've always believed that wellness should feel supportive, not like one more thing we're supposed to get right.

Over the years, through my own experiences and my work with others, I've come to appreciate how differently we each experience our bodies, emotions, and the world around us.

For some of us, feeling more connected begins with movement. For others, it begins with slowing down, getting curious about our inner experiences, or simply allowing ourselves to rest.

There's no single right way to begin.

That's the philosophy behind Homegirl Consulting, and it's what guides the work I do.

My Personal Connection to This Work

Living with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) has shaped the way I understand movement, rest, and what it means to feel at home in my body.

I've learned firsthand that more effort isn't always the answer. Sometimes the most supportive thing we can do is slow down, pay attention, and approach ourselves with a little more compassion.

That experience changed how I think about wellness.

I became less interested in pushing toward an ideal and more interested in exploring what feels sustainable, supportive, and meaningful.

What if movement didn't have to be about doing more?

What if rest wasn't something we had to earn?

And what if we could approach our bodies with curiosity rather than constantly trying to change them?

Those questions continue to shape my personal life and the work I offer others.

Why I Built This Work

Throughout my work with people from many different backgrounds - including survivors of sexual and domestic violence, cancer survivors, neurodivergent individuals, and people navigating ongoing stress - I've seen how important it is to honor each person's unique experience.

What feels supportive to one person may not feel right for another.

And sometimes the most meaningful moments happen when we stop trying to push through discomfort and begin listening with curiosity instead.

These experiences inspired me to bring together gentle movement, body awareness, and compassionate self-exploration in a way that allows people to move at their own pace.

My intention isn't to tell you what your body or inner experience should be doing.

It's to offer a welcoming space where you can explore, notice, and discover what feels right for you.

My Approach

My work brings together restorative yoga, somatic movement, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed self-exploration.

Sometimes we begin with movement, using gentle, supported postures to notice sensations, tension, or areas of comfort in the body. Other times, we begin with conversation, exploring thoughts, feelings, or the different parts of ourselves that may be asking for attention.

And sometimes, what feels most supportive is simply making room for stillness and rest.

I don't believe there's one right way to approach this work. Each experience is shaped by your interests, comfort, and what feels meaningful to you. Whether we're moving, reflecting, or resting, the intention is the same: to create opportunities for greater awareness, compassion, and connection with yourself.

Outside of Work

When I'm not teaching or working with clients, you can usually find me on an "awe walk" in nature (most often with my Vizsla, Mabel), reading, cooking, or enjoying the quieter sides of life - including climbing into bed early.

I'm a big believer in slow, grounded movement, vintage dog names, and the power of a really good bolster.
