This is Presence Work.

This is presence work.

Learning how to be fully in it — the mess, the beauty, the art of being human — so we can live our one radical life with greater joy and ease, opening up space to explore the vastness of our individual and collective potential.

We often touch deep peace and a sense of connection on retreat, in nature, or in stillness. The real challenge is living it — every day. This work supports that integration, so that your ‘practice’ isn’t something you step away for —it becomes the way you live.

Through guided meditation and practical exercises, we’ll build a personal rhythm that’s sustainable, embodied — it is like having a personal trainer, to to strength your glutes and core, but your mind muscle.

We’ll begin by exploring your current meditation practice, aspirations, and what’s present in your life right now. Together, we’ll create a focus and rhythm that supports clarity, connection, and a sense of personal alignment — like a customized strength-based workout plan for your mind and nervous system.

Each session includes a guided meditation to help ground your mindbody, followed by reflective conversation and practical coaching. You’ll leave with clear takeaways to explore during the week, and simple tools to support mindfulness in the midst of daily life.

What I share is a blend of teachings, teachers, and lived experience — all held with respect and reverence for the lineages they come from:

Buddhist Mindfulness
in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh and ongoing practice with Fred Eppsteiner (Florida Community of Mindfulness)

Deep Ecology & Systems Thinking
through The Work That Reconnects with Joanna Macy —honoring the deep interdependence between personal and planetary healing

Somatic & Movement-Based Practices
studied with Sabine Parzer’s Holistic Dance Institute — including trauma-informed tools for reconnecting with the body, rhythm, and relational safety

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
as developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, offering secular, science-based tools for working with stress and reactivity

Earth-Honoring, Interconnection-Centered Perspective
inspired by Indigenous and ancestral worldviews — approached with deep respect, not appropriation — and rooted in the understanding that we are not separate from the living world

Creative Inquiry & Intuitive Reflection
using metaphor, journaling, poetry, and visual tools as gateways into inner clarity
