People often arrive here with a clear, felt sense that the way they’re relating to themselves or to a partner no longer matches what they know to be true. They may be thoughtful, reflective, and deeply invested in their relationships, yet still caught in patterns that don’t shift through insight or communication alone.

My work sits at the intersection of breath, nervous system awareness, and intimate relationship. I’m a certified breathwork and meditation teacher, and I work primarily with individuals and couples who want to understand what’s happening beneath familiar dynamics around closeness, distance, attachment, and desire. We slow things down enough to notice how the body responds in real time, and how regulation, safety, and presence shape what becomes possible between people.

This approach has been shaped as much by lived experience as by formal training. I’ve spent years navigating long-term partnership, rupture and repair, devotion and loss, and the ongoing work of staying connected to oneself while remaining in relationship. I work with people in monogamous and non-monogamous relationships and with those navigating transitions between relational structures.

This work is about developing the capacity to remain present with yourself and with another, without bypassing, forcing clarity, or overriding what’s actually happening. It’s about building the ability to remain present, internally and relationally, so truth can be felt, choices can become clearer, and intimacy can grow from something real rather than forced.

-Aloha is often translated as “presence of breath”. For me, it points toward staying with the body and the moment.
