My Story…

I spent 20 years as a professional dance artist, traveling the world doing what I loved. I learned how to push through discomfort, hold myself to high standards, and just keep going. I also learned firsthand that you can be functioning really well on the outside while having a very different experience on the inside.

Over time, I began to notice how much of my sense of self-worth felt outsourced. It seemed to rise and fall with my calendar bookings and how I felt perceived. For a long time, I thought changing that meant more effort: more discipline, more awareness, more trying to think or act differently. But the patterns I was experiencing weren't shifting through conscious effort alone.

That realization led me to explore yoga, Ayurveda, somatic practices, hypnotherapy, and eventually Rapid Resolution Therapy®. I became interested in what happens when we address our underlying responses, rather than continuing to manage their effects.

That’s what eventually led me to create Seachange Conversations. Today, I work with people who may already understand their patterns intellectually but still find themselves feeling anxious, stuck, stressed, or repeating the same responses. Instead of trying harder to manage these responses, we work with the mind's underlying mechanisms to shift what's happening at the source. It’s a little like changing the station rather than trying to fix the sound at the speaker.

Training & Background

My path to this work has been anything but linear, and I think that's part of what makes it genuine.

I spent over two decades as a professional dance artist, beginning with a BFA from a conservatory training program, which gave me a deep, embodied understanding of how the mind and body shape each other. That foundation led me to explore many somatic practices, including earning a certification in ISHTA Yoga: Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra, and Ayurveda, and over two decades under the tutelage of an Ayurvedic physician, deepening my understanding that perception is at the core of all human experience.

I am currently completing certification in Rapid Resolution Therapy® and hold board certification in clinical hypnotherapy, NBCHt, through the National Board for Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists.
