Retreat & Workshops

Four days on fifty acres in the Shenandoah foothills, meeting what's underneath the exhaustion. A place to slow down enough for the deeper patterns to actually move.

A woman with long brown hair, wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, and tan woven shoes, is sitting on a tall wooden stool with one leg crossed over the other. She is posing with one arm resting on her knee and the other hand on her lap, in front of a colorful, floral-patterned tapestry hanging on the wall behind her.

About Me

I hold a Master of Divinity from Yale and I'm an ordained minister in the UCC, a progressive Christian denomination. I'm a certified clinical hypnotherapist, a trauma-informed yoga instructor, and a Gottman-trained relationship coach, and I learned somatic retreat leadership at Shalom Mountain, in a lineage of embodied practice refined over fifty years.

My spiritual study runs wide. I've sat with Buddhist leaders, Christian mystics, Tantric teachers and scholars across many traditions.

I believe this work is sacred, and to do it well, one must have done their own work — clinically, theologically, and in their own body. That is why I share my story and so much of my life through my work.
