Behind the work
Practices that have shaped my lens.
The work I do isn't a single modality — it's a synthesis. Some of these I've formally trained in. Others I've had the privilege of experiencing and learning from. All of them have shaped how I see and what I'm able to hold for others.
I'm so grateful for every teacher whose work has touched me — those I've trained with directly, those I've learned from on the page, those I've sat in ceremony or meditation with.
I share this because depth is hard to see from the outside. Not because any of it makes me an authority on yours.
