Finding Center. Feeling Ground.

The child of immigrants, I have spent my life finding my voice and knowing who I am, separately from my family and culture, and beyond shame, guilt, perfectionism, competition, or urgency. I have a tattoo on my shoulder that says “indigene,” or “indigenous,” which to me means that I am a person rooted in place, time and culture, or that I am who I am, wherever I am. I am always indigenous to myself.

Throughout my journey, I have been open to learning from many mentors and coaches who have taught me that I am a child of the universe, connected to the energetic field of time eternal, and also a child of the earth, deeply grounded by roots that sink down and hold me in profound ways. I will not float away, but rather, I will soar, sing, dance, and expand. I am achingly unique and so are you. My body holds the wisdom of my ancestors and my courage guides me to release grief, trauma, and pain so that I can heal ancestral trauma for the sake of deeply honoring human potential.

Influenced and shaped by rites of passage work, ritual and ceremony, art, intuition, and somatic healing, I am a somatic coach, body worker, educator, mentor, experience designer, and facilitator. I work with leaders and teams as an executive coach and design team development experiences as the Head of Innovation at Intune Collective, a human development consultancy in the San Francisco Bay Area. I also help organizations design for belonging as a DEI consultant, and facilitate human connection for companies such as Late Nite Art, Murmur, Scaling Intimacy, Future Ready CMO, Equipt Women, Zendesk, Sephora, Yogi, Provivi, and more. My work ranges across biotech to wellness to healthcare to sustainability to consumer packaged goods to agtech. What connects it all is a deep commitment to unlocking potential for humans and teams and guiding clients to greater possibility.
