Bio

The nervous system and movement has always been a focus and fascination for me. A dear friend and mentor of mine introduced me to the importance nervous system regulation through the Polyvagal Theory. As part of my learning and exploration, I became a certified provider in the Safe and Sound Protocol, a unique listening program designed to nurture and re-tune the autonomic nervous system through the vagus nerve. 

​Having grown up in the outdoors, and in a barn surrounded by animals, I valued the importance of movement, life fulfilling daily activities, and co-regulation through humans and animals. Later as an OT did I understand the importance movement and foundational regulation has on the brain for development of neuro-pathways, building life skills, resiliency, learning, and connecting with others. 

My life experiences and my own fascination for the body to grow and heal come rooted in my practice. My  OT approach consists of developmental movement patterns combined with the work of the Polyvagal Theory.
