Hakomi
I warmly invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery, where you can experience healing with the help of a sensitive, compassionate Hakomi guide. My practice is committed to providing a unique client led experience to help individuals explore within themselves in a safe and comfortable environment online or in person. I will assist you in cultivating a deep listening to your body’s innate wisdom. This body wisdom has the ability to resource the resilience of the nervous system to generate self-compassion. The unfolding of this resilience can untangle harmful internalized patterns, and activate creative and contemplative mindfulness practices, which support freedom as an Embodied Being.

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” - Chief Seattle 1854
I am grateful to be a guest and living on the unceded ancestral lands of the Xacua'bs "People of the Big Lake" (band of the Duwamish People) past and present. I bow with deep honor to the land and the Xacua'bs tribe. I bare witness to the horrors, the beauties, and the unrested souls that still walk right here. May the Duwamish Peoples heal from the trauma of colonization. May all of us heal from abuse and violence and our own deep history of suffering. May our ancestors guide us and bring forth the great teachings of our original wisdoms and help us heal the unrest.
May my work on Earth help us listen, and return to living in harmony, and to heal the living, the unwell dead, and to restore the threads of love from the past, and bring even greater love into the present and future.
May we all be well.
I respectfully acknowledge that the land on which I live, work, and play is the unceded ancestral lands of the Salish Nations. I also recognize that this acknowledgement is a small part of the bigger ongoing work of deconstruction.
Wherever you are reading this from, I invite you to take a moment, reflect on the Indigenous peoples of the place you call home. How can you learn more about them, their culture, their stories of past and present, and most importantly, what can you do to support local Indigenous led organizations, projects and movements?
