WORK WITH ME!
Hello! In addition to being the author of Tizzy, I am a Somatic Executive function Coach.
What does somatic mean? Soma comes from a word meaning "body" in Greek, so somatic simply means of the body.
Together, we will explore your somatic responses in times of stress in order to decipher how external factors are impacting you, learn some coping skills, and together, initiate change.
MY STORY
In 1997, I stumbled upon Peter Levine’s book, Waking the Tiger, at a bookstore near my college. Within the first few pages, I had a new understanding of my own coping responses, and set out to transform how I live in my body and in the world.
I started out by taking a yoga class and going to a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, and have been passionate about mind-body studies ever since.
MY APPROACH
My coaching supports clarity, self-trust, and action. We focus on noticing patterns, making intentional choices, and bodily awareness to support how you want to feel and function in your daily life. For example, if you tell me you’re not feeling efficient, and then we discover you’re not getting enough sleep, we will address these root causes. (Parents love this one for their teens!)
Through our work, we combine somatic awareness with practical strategies for executive functioning, including planning, time-management, and organization, so you can move through your responsibilities with confidence and ease. This work emphasizes present-moment growth rather than resolving trauma or clinical symptoms. If deeper trauma healing is needed, I can connect you with a Somatic Experiencing Psychotherapist.
Services
I specialize in working with teens and young adults, ages 15-25, but am happy to work with anyone who’s looking to make some incremental changes that will greatly impact the quality of their day-to-day.
