hey, my name is d.
i believe the body is our ground for liberation, and the practice of pleasure is our pathway.
i create spaces for us to experience more healing, eroticism and intimacy by bridging nervous system intelligence and the ancestral wisdom of my taoist lineage.
i am a somatic trauma resolution practitioner and educator.
my years of experience have shaped me into a trusted guide in the landscape of the multi-dimensional body.
devoted to my own personal practice of trauma resolution, i’m here to accompany you as you engage and harmonize with your energetic, spiritual and relational experience through the soma.
my practice is available for booking during the spring to fall seasons. i offer sliding scale drop-in rates, and am always available to work with a variety of access needs.
