Welcome to Viasomatic! I’m a certified yoga therapist, nervous system coach, trauma-informed educator, and founder of Viasomatic. I specialize in nervous system health and recovery from stress and trauma. Over the years, I’ve worked with Olympic athletes, medical professionals, energy healers, mental health specialists, and individuals navigating complex trauma and chronic illness to help them find balance and resilience in their nervous systems.

What I really care about is helping you learn how to self-regulate, build resilience, release chronic stress, and restore balance in a way that makes sense for your life.

After years of diving deep into somatic practices, I realized that trauma is an inseparable part of working with the body. That understanding led me to study the nervous system and trauma-informed approaches with Somatic Experiencing teachers Kathy Kain and Steve Terrell. These teachings allowed me to bring a clinician’s perspective to my work as a yoga therapist, blending somatic wisdom with a trauma-informed lens.

Now, with 20+ years of professional experience, my work focuses on teaching somatic practitioners, mental health specialists, and medical professionals how to use movement to support recovery from stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation. Through Viasomatic, I share tools that have transformed my own life, offering accessible ways to regulate your nervous system, manage anxiety, and recover from trauma.

I know life isn’t easy—no one gets through without challenges. But here’s the thing: your nervous system can be your biggest ally. I do this work because I believe in the power of post-traumatic growth—the ability to come out stronger, more resilient, and more aligned with who you are after life’s upheavals.

I'm a Viasomatic Nervous System coach, a 500-hour eRYT Yoga Teacher, and a certified Yoga Therapist. I came to this work from a career at the confluence of bodywork, yoga, somatics, grassroots activism, and social work. I believe that revolution is possible when we can move our nervous systems and find radical new ways to be with ourselves, our healing process, our loved ones, and our communities. As a transgender person, I am deeply passionate about finding a sense of safety, home, and empowerment in our own bodies, and befriending ourselves and our nervous systems. From that place, healing transformation takes place in our lives, our relationships, and the world.

My therapeutic approach is warm, gentle, and authentic with lots of levity and dry humor. I have a diverse skill set and an expansive, flexible approach to this work, which has been informed by adrienne maree brown, Prentis Hemphill, Kai Cheng Thom, as well as the work of Peter Levine, Dr. Stephen Porges, Deb Dana, and others. Because of my own rich lived experience and the wisdom I've cultivated from working with thousands of diverse individuals over the years, I find great joy in cultivating a customized and collaborative approach to each person and group I work with. In particular, I am well-versed and trained in working with issues related to complex trauma, anxiety, depression, body and gender issues, and neurodivergence.

Let's find balance, calm, clarity, and empowerment together by moving your nervous system.
