About Me

Relationship & Somatic Coach | Boulder & Beyond

My path to this work wasn’t linear. I didn’t come up through institutions—I came up through life. Through wolf sanctuaries, dog sled teams, timber framing crews, yoga ashrams, permaculture farms, meditation halls, chronic illness, and heartbreak.

Before I ever trained with masterful coaches, therapists, and spiritual teachers, I learned about connection from animals, nature, and my own nervous system. Wolves and horses were my first teachers. Sled dogs taught me about trust. Chronic illness taught me about listening to my body. And relationships—messy, beautiful, soul-stretching relationships—taught me about love.

Today, I’m a somatic and relationship coach based in Boulder, Colorado, working with couples, individuals, and leaders in Boulder, Denver, and around the world. My work is rooted in the belief that your body holds deep intelligence, that your love life can be sacred and wildly alive, and that you already have what it takes to change your life.

Coaching for Couples

I support couples who want more. More intimacy. More clarity. More depth. More electric connection that doesn’t fizzle when life gets hard. We work from the inside out—starting with your nervous system, your inner dialogue, and the hidden patterns that shape how you give and receive love.

I often support couples together with my partner Jen Taylor, who is an incredible somatic trauma therapist. 

Together we turn fear into connection, rage into fuel for passion, and grief into gateways for being truly seen. We train in the best practices for communication, intimacy, and passionate sexuality. This is relationship coaching that doesn’t avoid the hard stuff—it transforms it.

Coaching for Leaders

I also work with conscious leaders and entrepreneurs who want to lead from presence, not performance. Leadership is an intimate act too—especially when it’s grounded in integrity, emotional intelligence, and a body that’s not stuck in overdrive.

Whether you’re navigating team dynamics, vision, or burnout, I help you reconnect with your full system—so you can lead from clarity, not contraction.

My Training

My work has been shaped by a decade of one-on-one apprenticeship with exceptional therapists, coaches, and spiritual guides. My core teacher is psychotherapist Kim Barta, and I’m a certified coach—but honestly, my deepest training comes from the transformations I’ve lived through and witnessed.

I’ve walked through codependency, chronic illness, financial fear, and the terrifying, exhilarating path of building a business from scratch. I’ve learned to trust love, even when it made no sense. That’s what I bring to my clients: not just tools, but lived wisdom.

Why I Do This Work

Because I believe in your capacity to create a relationship—and a life—that feels like home. Because I know that healing and aliveness aren’t opposites. Because love, when truly embodied, can transform anything.

I don’t coach people to fix them. I coach people to remember who they are, especially when life gets hard.

Whether you're a couple on the brink of disconnection, a leader craving authenticity, or a sensitive soul ready to love more deeply—I’m here to walk with you into something deeper, truer, and wildly alive.
