Hello! 

I spent many years in dance before becoming a physiotherapist. I supported myself through high school by performing Arabic dance, and later completed a three-year education in contemporary dance. After that, I studied Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis under the guidance of Janet Kaylo. Movement, embodiment, and physical presence have been with me ever since—both in my personal life and in my roles as therapist, course facilitator, and mentor.

I love how NVC makes it possible to return to love and empathy in conflicts within any relationship—including the relationship with oneself. Together with Zen Coaching and the Tibetan “Healing Your Demons” practice, NVC is the main source of inspiration behind the part of my work that I call “The Inner Loving Dialogue.”

Zen Coaching is an approach to how we can meet each other—and be with one another—with empathy and presence. While Zen Coaching is originally a coaching methodology, I also use it as a way of relating to oneself.

This is a practice I’ve explored deeply and woven into my work as a coach and mentor. I learned it by following the instructions in Tsultrim Allione’s book on the practice—both together with other therapists and coaches, and on my own. It is an ancient method for meeting the thoughts and feelings that feel most frightening with curiosity and empathy, and in doing so, replacing separation with deep connection and love. For me, this is one of the most valuable aspects of Tantra.

The Wheel of Consent is a framework for understanding consent in situations involving touch, but it is also a method to help people develop their capacity to honor what they do and don’t want in the context of touch. I completed the Like a Pro training (at The School of Consent) in 2021, which focuses on how to use The Wheel of Consent in working with clients. 

Since the fall of 2021, I have been studying and practicing Aware Parenting to the best of my ability. It is an approach to parenting that resonates deeply with me. In addition to providing me with amazing support in my relationship with my children, I have also applied it to myself and in my inner child work.

Marion Rose is the creator of the Marion Method. She is also a Level 2 Aware Parenting Instructor and my mentor. I feel a deep resonance with Marion and the Marion Method. Since discovering Marion in 2021, I have felt deeply supported and inspired to refine my own mentoring approach. I'm forever grateful for Marion's clarity and graceful leadership in the fields of reparenting and reculturing. 

This is a form of energetic work in which the elemental energies in the body are balanced and circulated by the use of visualization and sounds/mantras. I have studied and practiced Tantric 5-element practices under the guidance of Lama Tashi Dundrup, in the Tibetan Shangpa Kagyu lineage, since 2014. These practices originally come from the ancient and shamanic Bön tradition and have been integrated and preserved within this lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. They have been passed down from teacher to student for thousands of years. I have Lama Tashi Dundrup’s blessing to teach them to others, particularly as part of my holistic approach to sexual liberation for women, where I combine them with breath, sensation, touch, and movement.
