Hi, I'm Joan.

As a certified integrative change practitioner, I tend to our resilience in uncertain times. Through somatics and trance, we adapt, transform, and envision flexible futures on this rapidly changing planet.

Why Somatics + Trance

As modern humans, we're trained to rely on reason and logic. But our rational minds can't hold this much unpredictability. We struggle with everyday stresses, let alone wild weather, spreading viruses, political instability and more.Thankfully, the conscious mind is a tiny part of us. We can tap into guidance from our own bodies and connections with nature. This is Part I of my work: embodiment practices that calm your nervous system, expand your emotional capacity, strengthen your unique intuition, and build your self trust.

New Ways of Thriving

With the support of somatics and trance, we can handle multiple crises and build new systems for resilient futures. Encouraging the latter is Part II of my work.When clients come to me, many of their problems are due to hierarchical human structures. I hold space for them to attune to nature’s lessons: Times for rest and harvest instead of constant hustle and growth. Ecosystems where different species live interdependently, instead of trying to control one another.As my clients expand their connections with nature, they sense alternative ways of thriving personally, at the community level, and within entire societies.
