Trauma Healing | Mind-Body Coaching with Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery®
We repeat what we
don't repair.
Real change doesn’t come from trying harder — it comes from going deeper.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like nothing has worked…
you’re not alone.
What do you want to change, diminish or grow?
I've worked with people who have done all the "right" things - therapy, self-help, medications, or simply trying to push through - and still feel like something isn't shifting at the root.
It's not because you're doing anything wrong.
Sometimes the reason we stay stuck isn't because we don't know what to do. It's because our thinking mind believes we've moved on, while our nervous system is still responding as if the experience is happening now.
That's where Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery® (SMGI®) is different...
SMGI is a gentle, body-centered approach that works with both the mind and the body to help uncover and shift the deeper patterns that may be keeping you stuck. You don't have to force anything, relive painful experiences, or have everything figured out before you begin.
It can be especially helpful if you're experiencing:
-
Unresolved trauma
-
Chronic stress or anxiety
-
Emotional patterns that keep repeating
-
Feeling disconnected from yourself
-
A sense that something just feels "off," even if you can't explain why
Every session is tailored to you, your goals, and your pace.
This isn't about talking more.
It's about creating lasting change where it matters most.
If you've tried other things and still feel stuck, there's a reason.
And there is another way.

Why Work With Me?
With over 35 years in healthcare, I've learned that insight alone doesn't always create lasting change.
That realization is what led me to Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery® (SMGI®).
Today, I combine my clinical experience with this gentle, mind-body approach to help clients access the deeper patterns that traditional approaches don't always reach.
Every session is personalized.
Although SMGI has a proven framework, your session is never one-size-fits-all. I listen closely to what your mind and body are communicating in the moment. Along with my training and experience, I bring a deep level of intuition that helps me recognize subtle patterns and guide each session in a way that's unique to you.
I've been personally trained by the creator of SMGI®, Gina Vance, and am one of a small number of certified practitioners carrying this work forward.
My role isn't to fix you. You aren't broken. It's to help create the conditions where your own mind and body can do what they've been designed to do... heal.
If you're ready to stop just managing your symptoms and start addressing what's beneath them, I'd be honored to work with you.
