Meet Your Coach

I stand for authentic connection, beauty, and the desire to be boldly and unashamedly human. I am here on this life path to embody myself, to truly accept what arises within me and to serve as a guide to bring others into their own full creative expressions. I teach my clients and students how to embody their own resources for more confidence, clarity, trust and intimacy with themselves, in their relationships, and in their ability to share their own humanness with the world.

There are two things my clients will often hear me say in their sessions. The first is: “what are you passionate about?” or “and is __ something you’re passionate about?” The second is that they’re doing “the work” because they are. It is hard work to look at yourself, humanity, and the world and create something real, vulnerable, true and whole from all of the fractured pieces and wreckage. It can seem easy when looking in from the outside, but it is not for the faint of heart. I know from my own experiences that it is also possible to do this courageous work, and it is what I’m most passionate about. I am passionate about trauma integration and restoring connection to our inner knowing using art, writing, dance, movement, performance ritual, and self-inquiry.

I have 12+ years worth of experience teaching, researching, and collaborating in integrative somatic trauma therapy modalities; ways of understanding the self and what makes a meaningful life; and using the arts for transformative healing. My history with trauma at the karmic level, as a Korean adoptee surrendered at birth, and as a woman who has come home to her own wholeness adds compassion and breath to the commitment I make in working for your best interests.

If this appeals to you, or you’d like to know more about how embodied healing arts can help you on your own journey, let’s talk. I offer FREE Express Yourself Wellness sessions to learn more about what’s happening for you.
