My comprehensive training through Human Design Mastery with Leah McCloud from The Design of You emphasized grounded, heart-centered guidance of the Human Design system, while also  making space for personal sovereignty, deep intuition, and the realities of life in a human body. I bring this lens to every reading, offering insight and support that’s both expansive and embodied.

My coaching practice is informed by a diverse array of qualifications and experiences, with a wide range of therapeutic modalities included. With a focus on empowerment, life story transformation, and therapeutic art, I offer a comprehensive approach to support my clients on their journey to holistic well-being. My training encompasses a diverse range of coaching methodologies, techniques, and principles that are rooted in evidence-based practices. Through this, I have gained in-depth knowledge and understanding of various coaching models, effective communication strategies, goal-setting techniques, and methods to foster personal growth and transformation. I hold separate certificates for each of the following areas of focus:

Through extensive training in traditional techniques and advanced practices, I’ve cultivated the ability to channel universal life force energy with compassion and care. With this certification, I’m here to offer you gentle and supportive Reiki sessions, personalized to address your unique needs and guide you on a journey of healing and self-discovery.

National Holistic Institute lives and breathe our mission statement of Helping People Have Work They Love. They whole-heartedly believe that being a well trained massage therapist gives their students the ability to improve their life, career and community.  I completed their 900-hour program and graduated in 2018 as a Massage Therapist and Health Educator, and would go on to teach for some years afterward.  I completed 32 Continuing Education credits (hours) in their intensive Pre- and Perinatal Massage Therapy coursework with Carole Osborne in April 2018. I would maintain my massage therapy certification with California state for another five years.

Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings’ courses are socially conscious, culturally appropriate, diverse, and action-oriented. Students are trained to serve their clients using the best practices available, and are provided with a wide perspective of disparities, inequalities, policies and rights. I am prepared to be an active partner in the movement to change birth and reproductive health culture locally, nationally and globally. My Full-Spectrum Doula coursework provided me with education for all stages of a birthing person’s life. Additional education included topics and issues facing our communities and birth world, such as the black maternal health crisis, food insecurity, and queer and trans birth and family building.

Through additional organizations I have completed education courses for being a Birth Doula, aiming to emotionally and mentally support a birthing person through pregnancy, labor, and delivery. I have also completed coursework around Breastfeeding Skills to further support clients I serve.

Education is a never-ending career, and over the years I have taken numerous certification and supplemental education courses pertaining to the art, and service, of photography. Through Maiden, Mother, Crone Photography, it is recognized that continued education is of the highest priority for the pure benefit and support of the birthing community.  As such, while not a requirement by any governing body, I have sought to add to my extensive training in the birth world by enrolling in a birth photography education course.

Further, to support the intimate nature of not only sacred birth spaces, but also the transformations happening with Therapeutic Portraiture, I sought education that supported personal and professional values; I have pledged to continue to do the work necessary to educate myself on as many different intersections of oppression as possible.

In addition to striving to provide a safe, inclusive, and empowering photographic experience for all humans, I also aim at mitigating harm where possible. It is my belief that every human is worthy of respect in the form of, but not limited to: consent, safe practices, open communication, and understanding. Every human deserves photographic documentation and it is my promise as your professional to constantly aim for inclusivity, empowerment and empathy in all practices.
