Energy Work & Emotional Wellness
What is Energy Work?
It is a way to work with the subtle, interplaying with different aspects of you (body, mind, subconscious, soul, essence), and learning to engage with life in authentic and meaningful ways.
Energy work is an interplay of connection and communication with all parts of yourself, creating pathways for congruence that can support not only the physical but also the mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual aspects of your being. It is a place where understanding only goes so far, allowing your inner wisdom to lead you to your next breakthrough. It’s a space where duality is held and honored for what it is, and where the spaces in between have room to unfold and be nourished.
Energy work is an intersection of welcoming—turning toward the stuck and sticky nuances, an invitation to open to wounds far deeper than we can hold on our own. It’s more than just something you receive; it’s preciousness in action, beauty unfolding, collaboration. It’s not our savior, but a tool to support our continued growth toward what is meaningful and life-giving.

My experience and style
It all started with a deeper "yes" than what my mind could put into words or process. I didn’t want my trauma or pain to take over and lead. Even at 16, I intuitively knew my pain was a portal when getting “I’ll find strength in pain” carved into the side of my rib cage with just a needle and ink. I no longer wanted to hide within my layers or be ashamed of who I thought I was—I wanted to meet the real me. Transformative energy work became, and continues to be, a pathway for me to experience freedom, liberation, acceptance, and welcoming. As I lean in, I see how my attachments and resistances keep me from being okay with what is. Even if I don’t like it, I yearn to know what wisdom lies within it.
I had been in therapy since I was 8 years old and went through countless therapeutic methods and styles, finding both great success and stagnation within the modality as a whole. The expiration came intuitively, as I realized it wasn’t reaching the layers I was ready to explore. That’s when I began looking for other ways to understand myself and to be more rooted in my body—learning its language and cycles. I dipped my toes into the world of somatics, explored pranic healing, and eventually deepened into Buddhist practice.
Discovering different pathways felt enlivening and nourishing, as I could learn from different angles how to return to myself and engage more meaningfully with the world around me. My energy work practice officially started in 2020, when everything seemed to converge in intensity. It was an elegant dance of learning, growing, and evolving, and every step brought me closer to the ability to bring more space, love, and nourishment to the places within me that desperately needed it.
As I still am actively learning and growing, I dive deeper into energy work. These session offerings are more than just energy work, it’s my lived experience along with my dedicated practice that gets to interweave with a vastness that encompasses us both. These sessions are a space of witnessing, adaptable and co-created, built to honor and support what is unique and alive within each individual.

I do not force any relationship to work as I encourage and respect boundaries. I work with individuals who are ready to take responsibility for their own healing and are not looking for a quick fix or someone to save them.

Background and Teachers
With a background in social work, peer support mental health, somatics, and various therapeutic interventions, I bring a unique blend of lived experience into my practice. The foundation of my work is rooted in Transformative Energy Work, taught by Kenneth Jover—a dear teacher whom I deeply honor and respect, and with whom I am continuously in conversation and apprenticeship.
“We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.”
What is Emotional Wellness?
In my own words, it’s learning how to bring awareness to, acknowledge, honor, and welcome emotions as a natural part of being human.
Emotional wellness can mean learning to be in this human experience and welcoming sensations as they come—not judging them, placing value on them, or pushing them away, but instead being curious and willing to engage with them, knowing that perfection isn’t the goal; simply trying is.
How would it feel if you allowed yourself to be grounded in an unshakeable sense of you, while also welcoming that so much of you is unknown, forming as we speak, and falling away, rebirthing? Being in this human experience and allowing yourself to flow with life requires going inward to uncover caves that have yet to be explored and approaching walls that have taken immense energy to protect. Sometimes you are asked to trust and release control to gain freedom in the stillness that dances with the movement of all that is.
Emotional wellness is a process, not a state of completion. It supports stability as you open to the flow of sensation. It can be easy to repress sensations, shut off or run from our ability to feel, or cling to the stories interwoven with a feeling and hesitate to let go. With our pulling and pushing, a common thread often lies beneath—needs that are desperately trying to be seen, a void seeking to be filled. In considering wellness, being in relationship with our emotions requires courage. It requires us to feel. What our emotions invite us into is learning a skillfulness in opening up and engaging with pieces of ourselves that inevitably deepen our interactions and relationship with the world around us.
We are beings of story, and emotions can be primary story-holders. We can learn to listen to these stories without believing them and instead discover the wisdom they offer. Learning to witness ourselves as a tapestry of many pieces, an intersection of many patterns, and where these all meet, gets to be told to the world through our bodies, our unique individual experiences amongst a larger interconnectedness.
Wellness as wholeness
I am a person who has always felt big emotions. Highly sensitive to the world around me, every sensation was a grand play of experience and story. I was, and sometimes still am, really good at believing the stories I spin about the world and about myself—stories rooted in unprocessed, emotional pain. For years, I would talk about my emotions in therapy, but afterward, I often felt heavy and exhausted. The pain still felt raw, without much dissipation, leaving me with a sense of dread at having to confront it all again. It took me time to realize that I lacked the capacity to see underneath those emotions: that they had meaning, that they were a song being sung.
When I started using different techniques to bring space to my emotions and soften their intensity, I began to see the stories, beliefs, and resistances that clung to them, keeping them in place. By bringing more space and resources to these places, I could begin to ask them what they needed, and a shift in my relationship with them began. Nourishing them from this place, I could access what the needs were underneath. I could see emotion as a sensation, a protection, a response. These core places of pain got to be held in a space of compassion, without judgment. This was the first time I felt I could weave myself back into shape, building a relationship with parts of me I ran from, listening to what they were sharing, and knowing that my emotions aren’t “me” but hold meaning and wisdom that I’m invited to dance with.
I had scripts about what I should be doing, how I should be feeling, what certain emotions meant, and if they were “good” or “bad”—a streaming script of narratives, roles, contradictions, and sharp edges buried deeper by the shame of their existence. I was never told that these layers are existence itself; they’re the fabric of being human, of being an individual woven into the larger tapestry of humanity. Emotions don’t make us outsiders; they make us commoners. They bridge us to this experience as humans, each of us with different stories, identities, lenses, dynamics, and reactions that lead us to where we are today. Emotions aren’t meant to be pushed aside and forgotten; they will continue to flow even when things are joyful. Emotions aren’t a punishment; they are a facet of complexity that we get the opportunity to engage with. Embracing them is embracing the human experience, welcoming all the twists and turns, and learning to be more authentic in the process.
Style and Teachers
The foundational templates that I weave into each session are birthed from my own lived experience and work with emotions, Transformative Energy Work, along with somatic interventions learned from studying with Irene Lyon. With my work background and the areas of life I have been drawn to, the combination of what I bring comes from a wisdom that’s larger than myself—a wisdom that has been graciously woven into offerings that I’ve been blessed to receive.
“We feel we are afraid to look, when actually it is not-looking that makes us afraid. The minute we look, we cease being afraid ”

The opposite of trauma isn’t “healed”, it’s aliveness, connection, curiosity, play, presence. The opposite of trauma isn’t to find perfection, to become a contained or even calm version of ourselves. But rather, it’s where we begin to experience what couldn’t exist when all our body could do was survive.
