Full bio at https://riseupmassage.com/new/about/
I am in awe of the human spirit and how we move through life in it’s vast ups and downs, the physical, the energetic, the mental, emotional sides of us that can heal, repair and renew at every step along the way when it’s the right time and when we have the right kind of inspiration, support and nurturing.
I am a mother, a widow, now a step-mama and business owner for 17 years. I am a white bodied, cisgendered, female identified woman who grew up both in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. I was married to a Chilean immigrant (hence my last name) who died suddenly at the age of 37 here in Seattle. I own the depths of repair and healing that it’s taken me over these last ten years to find my center over and over again. To reinvent my life and what is important to me at every step and to see life through different lenses at every turn. “Doing my best” is always an evolving concept, always a mystery to discover, and rediscover again.
I do trauma focused healing with a background in Strozzi Somatics, Somatic Experiencing and Bodymind Coaching as well as studies in Hakomi and Mindful Self-Compassion.
In this life, you might want to simply move steadily and painlessly towards what you want: more joy, more energy, more aliveness. That path feels clear as day. AND the truth is, it just isn’t easy to be human. It’s not. In part because there is no steady, fixed path, things are always changing. Humanness is so much about navigating that constant of change. How do you handle change, transitions, the hard stuff? I’ve got you. I get you. I’m here. I see you.
I help people get back to “being their best” in their lives in every way; physically, mentally, emotionally: Somatically.
Through Somatic Bodywork and Coaching I bring nurturing, dynamic healing, deep intuitive listening and compassionate witness. We will explore navigating the changes and transitions of life. I will support you in your quest on every level, wherever you are starting, whatever you are wanting to move toward. I believe in you! I truly do. I have no doubt that in working with me we can be fascinated together and make major strides forward in your healing journey.
You can set up a call to chat with me anytime to ask more, learn more about me, this work or how we can support each other on this path.
