"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional"
/ Haruki Murakami /
In Brief
I have a passion for supporting others in resolving pain and reclaiming fullness in life. While Struggle is part of the human experience, joy, purpose, creativity and connection are also human birthrights. To that end, I will equip and empower you with tools and skills to thrive.
