This story starts in a hospital. I have been a certified hospital chaplain since August 2020, caring for people emotionally and spiritually through the thick of the effects of the pandemic. I saw the physical effects that this kind of stress held in our bodies, both those I was caring for and in my own. I am deeply honored to be a story catcher, a grief sojourner, a ritual maker, and a spiritual guide in this role. However, something was missing for me: the connection between mind, spirit, and body.

We hold stress, emotion, and even trauma in our bodies. Therefore, most of the healing work we do must include embodiment. Have you found yourself doing all of the “right” things and still not feeling like there is progress?

Perhaps you need to incorporate care for your whole self. This includes slowing down, listening to all of your parts - mind, body, and spirit. This is your collective wisdom.

I am here to incorporate all parts of a whole, especially to bring you back to an awareness of your body. Let’s journey towards healing together.
