Restoring ecosystems, inside and out.

I’ve always been deeply curious about human nature—and profoundly connected to the natural world. Early on, this love of nature led me to study biology and ecosystem restoration. I wanted to help restore the Earth’s ecosystems and bring more harmony to the world.

But through my own healing journey—via therapy, somatic coaching, and my studies in ecosystem restoration, trauma, ecosomatics—I began to realize something radical:

The destruction we inflict on the Earth is deeply intertwined with the trauma and conditioning we carry within.

The disconnection from our inner world—our bodies, our emotions, our intuition—is mirrored in our disconnection from nature, community, and soul.

I came to see that I could better support healing the Earth by first helping people restore their inner ecosystems—their fragmented selves longing to return to wholeness within, with others and with our environment.

This understanding became the foundation for my own transformation, healing and current practice. At its core, rewilding the Self becomes the gateway to authentic expression, creative freedom, and soulful living and collective change.

Since my teens, I struggled with chronic stress, self-doubt, anxiety, shame, and overwhelm. I lived with a near-constant, exhausting inner dialogue with my inner critic. Becoming a mother 7 years ago magnified everything. I was trying to balance too much— parenting, transitioning from being a touring musician and freelance editor & nature conservation & green living consultant, while pursuing my passion and calling to start an art & design business, and extensive training to become a life coach and build my coaching practice.

Underneath it all was a deep spiritual awakening I hadn’t yet integrated. and because I wasn’t connected to my body and my nervous system was in chaos, I went into overwhelm, and eventually burnout.

On the outside, I appeared “fine.” Inside, I was overwhelmed and dysregulated, caught painful in patterns of perfectionism, procrastination, self-doubt, shame and burnout.

Despite years of talk therapy, meditation, affirmations, self-help, trainings & workshops, and mindset work, nothing seemed to offer lasting change or integration I needed. The temporary insights I gained never stuck, and I found myself still trapped in old patterns, unable to tap into the self-trust, clarity, creative flow, balance, sense of purpose and fulfillment or sustainable success I longed for.

It wasn’t until I discovered somatic interventions—body-based approaches to transformation—that I truly began to heal, transform and grow. Through being professionally supported and personally learning and consistently practicing applied polyvagal theory, nervous system regulation and somatic parts work/ Internal Family Systems (IFS) models, I reconnected with my body’s wisdom, learned to understand and heal my inner parts, and reclaimed my sense of safety and wholeness.

This was the turning point. I realized I wasn’t broken, but simply disconnected from my true self. I needed to come home to myself and restore balance within.

Through the embodiment processes and compassionate spaces offered by somatic & mind-body coaching, IFS therapy and SE (Somatic Experiencing) and the embodiment practices I developed over time, I finally cultivated the self-trust, capacity & courage to sustainably pursue my soul’s callings, to fully step into my purpose as a coach and artist, and to live authentically and powerfully without burnout or the exhausting inner conflict, negative self-talk or self-sabotaging patterns that were holding me back.

Today, I am imperfect but whole and ever-evolving human being who is Self-led, guided by the wisdom of my soul, body and the Earth.

I help others do the same—especially women who are visionaries, healers, creative or change makers feeling stuck or afraid to fully embody their gifts, purpose and potential.

When we restore our inner ecosystems— our nervous systems, our relationships with our inner parts, soul and the Earth— we connect with our wholeness and restore our sense of belonging, safety and purpose. And when we do that, we heal personally and collectively and pave a new way forward for humanity.

I know we are all meant to thrive— not just survive. when we express our gifts, we contribute to a more harmonious, heart-centered world.

Throughout my own journey, I’ve worked with somatic & IFS-trained therapists and coaches, and I’ve trained in various modalities, including integrative somatic trauma therapies, IFS, somatic parts work, and applied polyvagal theory. I am also a certified somatic & nervous system coach and a trained Wayfinfer Life Coach with the Martha Beck Institute. These tools, principles, and practices not only helped me heal and transform my own challenges but have enabled me to support my clients in reclaiming their authenticity, purpose and creative potential, overcoming limiting beliefs and patterns, and transforming their lives.

What I’ve learned is that true transformation comes from integrating both cognitive and somatic aspects of our lived internal experiences: mind-body-emotion-sensation. It’s not enough to just talk about our challenges; we must reconnect with our bodies and the deeper wisdom within.

I offer a sustainable, holistic approach that draws from my own 20 years of healing and personal development and over 6 years of expertise to provide my clients with customized, heart-centered tools, guidance, and support for lasting, embodied change.

I believe deeply that healing and growth are not one-size-fits-all formulas, but require a personalized approach that honours your unique rhythm, pace, and capacity.

My Philosophy & Guiding Lights

I believe that you are the expert in your own life. You are creative, resourceful, accountable, and whole. My role is to help you remember who you are.

I believe all bodies are good bodies.

We are taught to abandon certain parts of ourselves; that only certain qualities are valuable and this is simply not true.

All bodies deserve to feel alive regardless of expired power dynamics such as class, religion, education etc.

I also believe that we all have unique gifts—our “authentic medicine”—and our true job in life is to learn to embody and express this. When we do, we create beauty, healing, justice , and possibility—not just for ourselves, but for our communities and the Earth.

This is how we rewild our lives and restore the world.

This is what Radiant Floressence is all about.
