SOMATIC EXPERIENCING PRACTITIONER & FORMER 911 POLICE DISPATCHER

Biographical Info:

Since I can remember I have always been a nurturer and wanted to be of service to others and help make the world a better place. I have always been in search of evolving the spirit and becoming more present as I walk through life while helping others do the same. That being said for almost a decade and a half I served as a 911 Police Dispatcher. This experience, training and ability to hold capacity for others in their most traumatic times has been a privilege and has truly taught me a lot about the “very human side” of who we are and the need for healing that extends past the initial response to trauma and tragedy. As a 911 Dispatcher no two calls or experiences were the same and required me to act quickly, calmly, with compassion and presence. During my career I found Somatic Experiencing and became a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. It has truly been transformative in all aspects of my life.

The training and experience as a 911 Dispatcher and now as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner has allowed me to witness what a difference this combination has made in all of the lives that I have touched, especially in the most chaotic and tragic of times. I come to you with compassion and the intention to hold a safe space for sharing, without judgment or an agenda. To meet you where “you are”.

We all face life’s challenges and obstacles and it is my intent to help individuals become more present and resilient while facing these tough moments. The Somatic approach takes things to a very simplified way of understanding that our body and our nervous system truly do know how to heal, the key is allowing it to happen. We experience much of the world through our physical body, our senses and emotions. Somatic experiencing allows the nervous system to come back online, renegotiate and live in a more resilient state. My goal and intent is to hold a safe space and capacity on a very human to human level and help guide the Somatic approach so that you you can transform from trauma. Although trauma, grief, life experiences and challenges happen throughout our life they don’t have to be a life sentence. Or have a permanent effect on how we live our daily lives and the presence and resiliency that we are capable of having.

I truly believe it is my life purpose to be of service to others, to make a positive impact on everyone I come in contact with and to be a part of healing humanity and all my relations. I strive to be mindful of holding an energetic space of safety and trust so that one has the opportunity to be heard and seen with healing in mind. Every day is a new day and opportunity to heal.. I would like to be a part of your journey.
