Welcome
We are living in an extraordinary moment in human history.
The world is accelerating, unraveling, and initiating us all at once.
Each of us is being asked to reclaim our health, our inner authority, and the deeper intelligence of our own nature.
Most people who find me are not beginners.
You’ve walked a meaningful path — therapy, spiritual practice, nervous-system work,
leadership development, trauma repair, meditation, embodiment practices, medicine work.
You’ve touched real depths.
And still… something remains unintegrated.
A subtle gap between what you know and what you can actually live.
Between insight and embodiment.
Between awakening and the simple, grounded ability to rest as who you truly are.
And alongside this gap lives a longing — undeniable, insistent, holy.
The longing of your human heart to be completely true to your soul,
to live what is yours to live,
now, in the finite and precious mystery of this one brief life.
And there is the despair too — the ache that rises when you turn away from this intimacy with your own existence.
A quiet companion that refuses to let you abandon yourself.
My work lives right here — in the intersection of these inner maps,
where longing and despair meet the fulfillment of your being.
Where your history meets your future,
where your humanity meets your already awake nature in present time awareness.
This is the doorway.
And I’m here to walk through it with you.

Core Embodiment ®
Results That The Core Embodiment ® Study Revealed:
A series of EEG tests were performed during the Core Embodiment® Practice to assess the practice as an intervention in shifting brain wave states from a lower to a higher level of coherence and flow. These neurofeedback measurements depict a balanced state of flow and coherence, resulting in maximum creativity and focus. Tapping into flow and coherence more regularly impacts ones increased capacity to self-actualize.
Welcome to CORE Embodiment
A Transformational Intimacy Path
I’ve come to recognize something undeniable:
Connection is the one thing we cannot live without.
We’re biologically wired for it.
We crave it with our whole heart.
And when we don’t feel it, we often reach for substitutes—addiction, distraction, over striving—just to touch the feeling of being held, seen, or known.
True connection is what gives our lives meaning.
First and foremost, connection to ourselves—to the sovereign center of our own love.
Then, authentic connection to others—without performance, without leaving ourselves behind.
And finally, connection to the deeper pulse of Life itself—a living presence beneath all thoughts, emotions, sensations and creations.
And yet… connection is also what many of us fear most.
Early wounds, cultural conditioning, and ancestral trauma can distort our longing for union.
What we most ache for can also feel out of reach—dangerous even.
This is the paradox at the heart of intimacy.
We long to be close.
We long to be known.
And we also long to protect what’s most tender.
Transformational Intimacy is the path that welcomes both:
Your desire for connection and your need for sovereignty.
This is where our work begins.
HAVE YOU HAVE STRUGGLED WITH ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS?
Inner Emptiness
At the root of so many behaviors lies a quiet ache—a hunger for true connection that no achievement, partner, or possession can satisfy. When we’re estranged from our own center, life can feel hollow, no matter how full it looks from the outside.
Constant Striving
In the absence of deep inner connection, we may find ourselves endlessly chasing something “out there” to feel fulfilled. This striving is often an unconscious attempt to outrun the discomfort of disconnection—from ourselves others or Source itself.
Stress and Burnout
Living disconnected from our core values and inner rhythm creates misalignment at every level. We push. We override. We say yes when we mean no. The body keeps the score—and eventually there is a breakdown in your health.
Overwhelming Busyness
Modern life conditions us to fill every moment with doing—leaving no room for being. In this constant hum of distraction, we become strangers to ourselves. The deeper questions go unanswered. The deeper needs, unmet.
Inauthenticity
When connection becomes confused with performance or perfection, we lose access to the truth of who we are. Without knowing how to attune inwardly, we shapeshift to gain approval—yet never feel truly seen.
Disconnected Relationships
So many of our relational struggles stem from the question we’ve never been taught to answer: How do I stay true to myself while being in connection with you? Without this inner compass, we repeat cycles of codependency, avoidance, or collapse.
Fear of Vulnerability
True intimacy requires risk: the risk of being seen, the risk of not knowing, the risk of softening our defenses. Without the tools to regulate and feel safe within, we avoid the very connection we long for.
Yearning for Intimacy—but Feeling Afraid or Unworthy
We crave real contact, but past wounds, cultural conditioning, and ancestral patterns tell us it's not safe… or that we don’t deserve it. This is the core heartbreak—and the threshold of healing.
We can address and transform any of these symptoms into your unique embodied & authentic medicine.
