About me.

 
 

I believe that we carry our life experiences in our bodies and hearts, and this imprint is like the soil which can slowly start to nourish us once we begin to relate with it. We can learn to live not from the difficult imprints of the things that happened to us - but from the health of a deeper nature that exists in us. Our resilience.


I am a first generation immigrant and was a refugee for my most of my childhood. I have first hand experienced the effects of war, poverty, trauma, and what takes to heal and become resilient.

My longing to find home, belonging and emotional health led me into the healing arts - I was pulled by the question and call of “what helps us heal our hearts, minds and bodies?”. How do we integrate and include our suffering (mental, emotional, physical, spiritual) and see it as an expression of our energy - our life force and vitality - instead of as simply disease - in a world where we have all and continue to encounter much challenge and imbalance. This is the question I hold and work with.

I studied as a Naturopathic Doctor (Toronto, 2017) , later moving into dreamwork, emotional healing and Expressive Arts Therapy (CREATE Institute, Toronto).

I graduated as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in 2023 in Edinburgh, Scotland and am part of Somatic Experiencing International.

My story and work is to serve others to come into this deeper relationship and connection with their true nature. To discover what it can be like to come home to Self and Body.

I am particularily interested in working with women, mothers, ancestral wounds, attachment, body image issues, and developmental trauma.
