Integrative Healing in West Los Angeles & Online

We all reach a moment when the call becomes too loud to ignore. For me, that moment came after years of grief, trauma, and disconnection.

Sacral Root was born from my own healing — and my desire to walk alongside others in theirs.

LET’S GET PERSONAL

I often say Reiki was my gateway into the healing arts.

It gave me a way to release what talk therapy alone couldn’t touch.

I found this work in the wake of my sister’s passing and after leaving an abusive relationship. I knew what it felt like to live in patterns of silence, shame, and disconnection. Through Reiki, breathwork, somatic coaching, and sound, I discovered what it meant to feel at home in my body again.

That reclamation became my purpose — and Sacral Root became the container for it.

MY TRAINING AND APPROACH

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling and am a trauma-informed somatic coach, Reiki master, and breathwork facilitator. My work bridges ancient wisdom and modern therapeutic practices: Eastern energy work, psychodynamic therapy, somatic awareness, and experiential intimacy coaching.

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN ALWAYS EXPECT FROM ME

I also bring a sex-positive, kink-aware lens to my work. For clients exploring desire, power dynamics, or alternative relationship structures, I offer a safe, attuned, and shame-free space to explore. This doesn’t mean every client needs or wants to engage in this kind of work — but for those who do, it’s available.

Safety and trust — a grounded, trauma-informed space where you can bring your full self.

Relational depth — the way we connect becomes the practice itself.

Holistic transformation — every session addresses mind, body, and spirit.

Practical impact — you leave with tools you can integrate into daily life.

Relationship is the root of the work I do— not just the one you hold with yourself or with others, but the one we cultivate together.

True change doesn’t happen in theory alone. It happens experientially, in the body, in the nervous system, and in the shared container we create.

Through Reiki, sound therapy, breathwork, and coaching, I guide individuals, couples, and groups in creating embodied shifts that ripple outward into every part of their lives.

My journey has taught me that healing isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about returning to yourself.

If my story resonates with yours, I’d love to connect.
