I am an organization and leadership development consultant, seasoned trainer, author, and facilitator. In 2003, I began working with communities, networks, and organizations across Washington and globally, with a vision of creating healthy and resilient communities. I've experienced the growth of self-healing communities movement first hand. Amazing to get to hold a diversity of facilitation, training, and consulting roles including: 

​

• Consulting with organizations globally using a participatory leadership, living systems, and dialogic organization development approaches.

• Facilitating, training, and consulting for the Self-Healing Communities networks.

• Co-facilitating the first international ACEs think tank and the first N.E.A.R. Science think tank. (Neuroscience, Epigenetics, ACEs, and Resilience)

• Training community and organizational leaders in The Art of Participatory Leadership and stewarding the global Art of Hosting Community of Practice.

I've been on a journey to discover how we heal trauma - generation to generation. For 8 years I've been a ReConnective Therapy practitioner. I have an Anatomy Specialization from the University of Michigan and advanced anatomy training and have extensively studied somatic practice including: breathwork, posture, movement, and voice. This included studying with exceptional teachers of Aston Kinetics, the Alexander Method, and the Realization Process.

Prior to 2003 I worked in high-tech as a Leadership and Organizational Development Consultant and led an internal training organization. My specialties were teaching Leading-Change, and running the key people bench program for emerging senior leaders.
