I’m a certified VITA™ sex, love, and relationship coach, a playful hedonist, a somatic guide—and someone who knows firsthand what it’s like to feel disconnected from their body, their joy, their sense of aliveness.

 

I spent decades living a life that seemed rather vibrant. And in some ways, it truly was. From the outside, it all looked rather shiny and admirable: Ivy League grad, successful wardrobe stylist, model, married to a handsome husband, a full calendar, and social life.

​

But on the inside, I was frozen. I didn't really know who I was or how to get in touch with my true desires. I had spent years unknowingly suppressing trauma and shame stored in my body. I was operating from the belief that I was inherently broken. That my longings were dangerous. That my pleasure needed to be tamed.

​

My life essentially crumbled during a nine-month period when I realized I’d been in a nearly decade-long abusive marriage, experienced sexual assault, endured a multi-month mental health crisis, and went through an embarrassing number of massive friendship blow-ups.  I made a quiet and powerful commitment to rebuild a relationship with myself from the ground up.

 

I told myself two things:

​

I don’t know how to do this, but I’m willing to try anything.

​

I don’t need to know how to do this. I just need to take one next step.

​

That one step led me to somatic healing, pleasure-centered, trauma-informed practices, and deep, wild, and liberating spiritual, emotional, and psychological renewal. I met facets of myself for the first time. I chose to study under Layla Martin in the VITA™ Coaching Method, 650-hour certification program in sex, love, and relationships so I could walk alongside of others in this life-altering, transformative work.

​

I’m not just trained in this work. I’m living it. I’ve gone to the depths of my own pain to reclaim joy, connection, and embodiment. I’ve built a life where I don’t just function—I actually enjoy it. And I'm on this journey for life. 

​

And that’s something I want you to know, too: it can be so much easier than we think.

Because here’s the thing—I spent so much of my life being a really good, high-achieving “should-er.” I did the “right things,” followed the rules, and chased success… but it was exhausting.

 

When I finally peeled back the layers of shoulds and stopped masking who I really was, I discovered something beautiful: I’m deeply, unapologetically motivated by pleasure.

From the tiniest things—like how I do the dishes—to the big, life-changing stuff, I’ve figured out how to infuse enjoyment into the everyday. Pleasure isn’t something I earn anymore. It’s how I move through the world. It’s how I get things done. It’s how I come home to myself again and again.

​

So if you’re a recovering overachiever, a high-capacity human secretly craving softness, or someone who’s just starting to wonder what it would be like to feel good—like in your bones good—I see you.  And I’d love to support you.

​

This work is about returning to yourself.

​

To your senses.
 

To your body.

To your aliveness.

Let’s begin.
