Disclaimer

I am a trauma-informed practitioner who received a 50-hour certification delivered by The Embody Lab. This training informs all the work that I do and the values I live by.

However, I am not a medical or health provider, so if your situation requires professional care, plese make sure to be in touch with professionals first.

Values that inform my work

Consent

Consent is the practice of asking for permission or agreement before doing anything, but it is also for me a practice of non assumption. Consent should be reflected, transparent, explicit & ongoing. You can read more about my thoughts here. The aim of my work is not to give unsollicited advice, but rather to offer a safer place where my clients feel seen, validated & held during their best or worst days. Each individual know their story better than anyone else, and so I commit to remind them of their greatest gifts while acknowledging and listening to their greatest challenges.

Consent is also very important to me as it lays down an essential foundation of respect, dignity, care, but also encourages your own sense of agency. I do not think of my selves as a higher authority over your own chart or reading, as you are the one living this embodied experience.

Privacy

All of my work offers a safer space for individuals' own process of privacy. As we work together towards our healing, I understand and value building trust and rapport throughout and after our sessions. Nothing that you choose to share with me will be shared with anyone else or anywhere else.

Whole-body listening

I am committed to practicing whole-body listening during our session(s). That means that I am not actively thinking of what to say next while you communicate with me. I am more interested in asking the right questions than finding answers. I understand that contrast is part of life, therefore I welcome any experience with care and without judgement. I understand that a lot of us lack spaces where we can feel heard and seen. My goal is to offer that space to you.

Care

is at the center of all my readings and work. I recognize that all beings, humans and other-than-humans, the earth, the planets and beyond, are sacred and unique. Every being breathing around us belongs here and is worth care. Care is also the foundation work that allows healing to come in.

No judgement

means that I understand that you are a unique universe full of complexitites, contradictions and more. There is no need to “fix” you, however there is an urgent need for us all to access healing. Healing offers us a chance to bring awareness to our wholeness, which is different than making ourselves perfect. With care and no judgement, I believe that we can uncover and embrace all parts of ourselves, even when contradictory or deemed unworthy. With those values in mind & embodied, we can help ourselves & the world move closer to our sense of completeness.

Compassion

means I feel deeply and sincerely for others and that compells me to act on their behalf. I understand that showing up to the challenging & uncomfortable task of healing is more important than comfort. You showing up is enough, I value that and do not take it for granted.

Radical honesty

I know too well the dangerous effects of toxic positivity and I am committed to learning more about the challenges of this society outside my own privileges. During my sessions, I am not trying to make things easier, but rather bring forth challenging topics that need our attention, care and compassion. I also do not seek to avoiding hard truths so that we can better care for them. I truly believe that facing our deepest challenges or biggest fears do not make them more real but easier to disprove.
