Healing was part of my world long before I understood what it meant. My mother worked as a healer, practicing massage, acupuncture, Healing Touch, and energy-based approaches. Through that environment, I was introduced early on to the idea that care can happen beyond words in subtle shifts, in attention, in the connection between two people.

At the same time, my path into this work has been deeply personal. It wasn’t something I simply inherited, it’s something I had to discover and build for myself.

As I moved through life, I became fascinated with the body; not just its structure, but its instincts, memory, and capacity to heal. I studied movement, meditation, breathwork, and eventually trained in a wide range of hands-on modalities: fascia release, the Trager® Approach, Lomi Lomi, trigger point therapy, and trauma-informed somatic practices. But more than any technique, it was my own healing journey that shaped my work.

There were years when I felt numb, disconnected, or overwhelmed by emotion I couldn’t name. Learning to stay present with discomfort, to feel deeply without needing to fix, became the foundation of my path. That process asked me to meet parts of myself I had long avoided, and to develop a kind of self-trust that wasn’t given, but earned.

That’s what I bring into my sessions today.

Instinct Moves was born from this way of listening and being. Each session is a conversation—not just through words, but through breath, sensation, and nervous system cues. I don’t work from a script. I follow your body’s lead.

Clients come to me seeking more than relief. They come to reconnect with themselves, with their aliveness, with the strength that comes from softness. Whether you’re navigating chronic tension, emotional layers, or simply seeking a moment of stillness, I hold space for your body to remember what it already knows: how to heal.
