Pillars of the Program
Healing through story
Narrative Medicine is a research-backed framework for exploring the emotions, experiences and deep-seeded beliefs that impact our health. Through narrative medicine-led prompts and indigenous healing modalities, we'll explore your emotional, physical and spiritual pain, its influence on your life, and where these stories sit within your body. In unearthing these stories, we remove the blocks that keep you from living authentically and healing, revealing your truest nature.
Intuitive Body & Bone Healing
Bone healing is an ancient Ugandan practice rooted in unearthing the stories that live in our bones and cause physical pain, emotional disconnect and burnout. Intuitive bone healing is the practice of activating and moving energy through the body, releasing trapped stories and opening ourselves back up to healing and wholeness. Combining these powerful healing modalities, alongside sacred texts, we'll release the energy that sits beneath your stories and create an embodied, multidimensional healing practice you can take into your own life.
Breathwork
The condition of the nervous system, the state of your emotional life, and the quality of the breath are intertwined. What takes place in our outer environment and in our mind is registered in the breath. This breathwork series is centered around diaphragmatic breathing, which helps you balance your autonomic nervous system. Together, we'll build a mindful practice of slowing down and tuning in, bolstered by personal affirmations known as kakassas that root you further into a daily breath and healing practice.
Doula & Womb Healing
For womyn who are struggling to conceive and/or wanting to heal their feminine center
Whether you’ve experienced sexual trauma, miscarriages, abortions or fertility issues, this deeply healing and integrated approach soothes the nervous system, clear old stories from inside the body, and helps womyn tap into an embodied and renewed sense of self.
Rooted in my narrative medicine training, breathwork and indigenous healing modalities, I also help families prepare for labor, birth and postpartum with an embodied and integrated approach.
How I work
I combine my M.S. degree in Narrative Medicine (Columbia University), extensive knowledge of breath work, meditation, holistic health, and Pause3™ methods into a one-of-a-kind integrative approach. I work with physicians, activists, teachers, wellness practitioners and those looking to achieve total wellness on an accelerated timeline. I'm the push you need in creating a sacred space within to thrive and live a life fueled by passion and full of love and bliss!
What is Narrative Medicine?
Narrative Medicine is a multi-discipline approach to better recognizing the impact of illness that it has on a patient and provider of health. It gives power to one's personal story of health, illness, and death, where the relationship between storytelling and health become embedded in caring practices. I call this embodying your Narrative Health.
I work with you on creating personal mantras through narrative, using the 'What Happened' method of storytelling - telling your own personal story of health, illness, and personal discovery and rewriting them to heal! As well, we work on visualization and meditation practices.
I've worked for over a decade with ancestral Shaman energy and I fortify my work through intention setting and pure love.
