Events and Workshops:

Rooted and Connected: An Integrative Journey Through Attachment Repair and Embodied Spirituality (September 2025)

A two-part workshop exploring attachment patterns, nervous system states, and the inner parts that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. Through the lens of Polyvagal Theory, parts work, and self-compassion, participants explore tools for state-based regulation, emotional resilience, and relational repair. Spiritual integration practices support a deeper sense of meaning, presence, and connection—to self, others, and the sacred.

Reclaiming Voice and Visibility (November 2021)

An inclusive climbing event with a focus on fostering the development of technical and relational skills to empower participants with confidence to take up space both intra- and interpersonally in their chosen sport(s) and communities. 

Healing Through the Body (September 2021)

A guided, trauma-informed clinic for climbers to reconnect with their bodies through intuition and attunement—integrating somatic awareness, breath work and nervous system regulation for the building of embodiment as a container for connection and activity. 

Embodied Expression in Relationships (November 2016; January 2017; September 2017; January 2018; May 2018)

A five-week process group grounded in relational psychoanalytic and psychodynamic principles, designed to help participants explore their inner and outer worlds, uncover and shift entrenched patterns, and develop tools for authentic, connected communication.

Coming Home (September 2015, 2016)

A three-week psychoeducation group combining somatic inquiry with nervous system education and body-based tools, designed for those feeling disconnected from their bodies or emotions, prone to overthinking or over-giving, and seeking grounding, integration, and healing from stress, burnout, or trauma.
