I have been coaching professionally for 6+ years and have well over 4,000 hours of experience working with clients.
While I consider my personal journey to be my greatest qualification (and evidence of my ability to help), I have also completed the following official trainings.
Certifications:
Mind-Body (Somatic) Coaching Certification
Mind-Body Coaching is a holistic and organic process in which the client is able to discover a path of somatic, energetic, emotional, and spiritual fulfillment. We focus on supporting the inherent somatic intelligence of the client to be able to take consistent action towards what they most care about.
Taught by The Embody Lab, this 120 hr. certification equipped me to work with clients via a holistic, body-centered method for embodied transformation. It brings together the best of trauma-informed care, mindset work, emotional processing, and somatic work to guide the client to change.

Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy
Taught by The Embody Lab, this 60 hr. certification taught me how to help people heal from trauma using a holistic, body based, integrative approach. While I do not focus my work specifically on working with trauma, all humans have some. It was important to me to be thoroughly trauma-informed as well as trauma-trained in order to be able to effectively work with humans. While there are some aspects of trauma healing that fall outside of my scope of practice as a coach, there is also a lot that can be done within the coaching relationship that will support the client on their healing journey.

Stress and Wellbeing Assessment Provider
When clients begin working with me, I encourage them to take a stress and wellbeing assessment. This helps us decide together where to focus our work. It also serves as a tangible benchmark of the client’s current levels of stress and wellbeing, which we can then retake periodically to show progress.
The assessment I use was originally designed to be used in major hospitals as part of how they evaluate how stress levels affect overall health. It has been well-researched for its effectiveness and the scoring system is based on a normative group of over 1500 test subjects. In order to be able to use this test I had to go through a provider training.
