I believe safety to be a human right - not a privilege. This is what sits at the very core of who I am. This is what I bring to the work that I do. A certain intensity; a certain empathy; a certain knowing.
The world right now is being tested. Humanity is being challenged. Because at this very moment the collective state of trauma we are in as a society is impacting and influencing the hardest stories we carry within us as individuals. Now more than ever how we make contact between one another as people is so incredibly important. It's essential.
There are certain traumas we just cannot bury. They may quietly exist in our pulse passed along through generations before us. Or they may loudly invade our boundaries and rob us of that power and control we once had. I invite you to bring these parts of you to our interaction. I will meet you in this space carefully, respectfully, and at your own pace.
I'm ready when you are.
