In 2019 at 50, I had a transformative overnight recovery from knee pain through applying the neuroplasticity tools from Dr. Sarno and The Curable App.

As a massage therapist, I was already dedicated to helping clients feel more at home in their bodies, through compassionate, therapeutic, judgment-free touch.

Now as a coach, I help clients recover from all kinds of physical and emotional pain (including years of migraines, back pain, fibromyalgia) using the tools of pain science education, life coaching, radical self acceptance, self compassion and my 20 years of experience as a queer fat activist.

I understand at a deep level what it means to have a body that is given predictions of doom and gloom just by existing. 

I can help you untangle your own physiological experiences from the nocebo, fear based messaging that is running around your brain, tripping your threat detection system of pain unnecessarily. 

I am dedicated to the belief that all people are born with inherent worth and value and help them find their reconnection to that wholeness and radical self friendship. Feeling better is possible, especially for folks who are living in bodies affected by systemic oppression, medical neglect, and marginalization.

My motto is liberation through understanding.
