Natalie Kashani interviews me for her online summit “Surviving to Thriving.” I tell my story of how I became a somatic facilitator and open up about my most recent dark night of the soul that required me to purge generations of women's pain around body-image and sexual trauma. We also connect on our shared experiences as artists and healers, and how we view trauma-healing as an art. 

Episode Highlights 

06:53 - My most recent dark night of the soul that triggered me back into body dysmorphia, depression, and incessant thought loops that happened right before I began my practice helping clients. 

14:49 - This dark night of the soul forced me to examine my relationship to my body through my sexuality and facing the sexual trauma from my history. 

23:30 - The deeper we get into our embodiment, the hard it is to be defined by titles. 

23:54 - I explain why I chose not to go the traditional route of becoming a therapist. 

37:13 - My cathartic experience at a retreat processing my sexual trauma.
