About the Practitioner ☯︎
I respect everyone; I do not respect everyone’s behaviors ☯︎💖
My intention in working with you is as follows…. Do no harm and take not shit.
Someone asked me what I stand for… I stand for “win/win/win”. I stand for “We”. 🫶🏼
Let me be clear… I am ordinary and average. This is not a put down or demeaning to myself in any way. It is acceptance. It is reality. There are 1,000s of practitioners around the world doing this kind of work. I am not trying to stand out or be better than anyone else. I am being myself each day to the best of my ability. I am surrounded by abundance every day I am still here. What more could anyone ask for?
On 1/1/2006, I exited the “corporate world” of finance and hustle and went to work as a personal trainer/strength coach at a local 24 Hour Fitness. I was still married at the time, the kids were young and I am forever grateful we were able to make the financial adjustments necessary in order for this to happen. This was the first time I ever felt aligned with a profession/job since I mowed lawns as a boy.
Fast forward 10+ years, I received a massage license from Denver Integrative Massage in September of 2014. Funny thing is, I had no intention of ever practicing bodywork. It was only about building the resume (ego and identity). Funny how Life does things like that for us 🤲🏼💚
In 2016, “work life" started to shift. I was still working in the holistic health community with a focus on breath, movement, strength, sleep, neurological, nutrition, etc. A local physical therapy clinic reached out looking for a bodyworker. Even though I had a license, I was not practicing any bodywork. On a deeper level, I could feel something shifting so I accepted the offer feeling a lot of uncertainty. Life was never the same after that decision. I worked there 4 years. The focus of that work was mostly post-surgical/traumatic and somatic bodywork.
Believe it or not, I went on my own in 2020 and am grateful to still be in business and thriving 🙏💞☯︎
Here are a few more experiences that have so lovingly prepared me for the type of work that is being offered through me. These are being shared to see if something resonates within you; not for pity. I survived them all and continue to move forward day by day 🫶🏼 There are many beautiful lessons I was given from each and I would not trade them for anything.
Working under the guidance of a Shaman and Rolfer for 15+ years.
experiencing sexual abuse and sexual assault on multiple occasions from around the age of 3 up until 18
the entire “narcissistic relationship/cycle” of life with multiple people including family of origin
navigating life with CPTSD
navigating life with “Extreme ADD” (now known as ADHD)
Being familiar with the “black sheep” identity and accepting the grief that follows with this acknowledgement and acceptance
Going no contact with the family of origin starting with the father; having a child go no contact with me as well
navigating the divorce process
navigating the blended family dynamic
navigating the “witnessing” of multiple suicides over decades
navigating the bankruptcy process
navigating a status correction
navigating the intense fucking loss of your first pet
Working with people and pets at the end of their life including sitting with them in a hospice type setting as they "pass on" to the next realm/dimension.
Working with people whose bodies have been diagnosed with some form of cancer/disease. This includes those whose bodies are going through some type of chemo and or radiation treatments. Being there for them physically, emotionally and spiritually. Accepting them as they are in the moment and perhaps giving their bodies gentle Love and attention, including cranial, intraoral (think tongue, gums, palettes, ptyeragoid) and lymphatic work. Lymphatic work is divine ☯︎
Working with people that wish to make lifestyle changes and have no frame of reference on where to start. Many of these people are learning how to move their bodies again after traumatic surgeries and or accidents to their body including an NDE. This can be an overwhelming process at first, especially figuring out how and where to start. This has included such things as:
reminding them how to move their body again in a safe and slow manner
reminding them how to stay in body for longer periods of time
learning how to shop/navigate a grocery store
learning how to cook simple, “healthy” and practical meals that actually taste good and nourish the body
remembering how to connect with their breath
remembering how to fast properly
remembering how to meditate with no goal including quieting the mind
remember how to prepare for sleep in a healthy way
the importance of digestion (parasympathetic nervous system of relax and digest)
the importance of nervous system regulation (fight, flight, freeze, fawn to calm)
helping them remember it is the trauma that happened in their body and not actually to them
Working with small businesses, small groups such as local neighborhoods/communities, churches, police academy, and in a gym/dojo type setting.
Working with individuals, families and “teams”. This work is not limited to Colorado or the United States. You may read about one such experience here in my blog section. This is sometimes known as FMTY (fly me to you). This type of work included "residing" in close proximity to the client for an agreed duration of time. This allows for more spontaneous teachings and integrations of reality. If this resonates with you or you know of someone that might resonate with this type of offering, feel free to have them inquire directly here to discuss a potential win/win/win situation.
Much luv and gratitude for reading this far 🙏💫🫶🏼 Thank you for your attention.
