ABOUT ME
My somatics practice builds on 15 years working for social change in a variety of contexts, including community health, worker cooperative development, climate justice, and land rematriation. In addition to somatics, I consult with organizations around participatory governance and self-management.
When I'm not doing those things, you'll find me in the garden, the woods, a lake, or a soccer field.
