I’m a Jungian Analyst, somatic expert, and educator with more than twenty-five years of experience exploring how body, psyche, and soul move together toward healing and meaning. I created Jungian Somatics™, a body of work that weaves somatic theology, movement, sensation, and the unconscious to help people experience a deeper sense of aliveness and wholeness.

My path began in labour relations and conflict resolution, where I worked with people and organizations navigating tension, power struggles, and human rights issues. Those years taught me to distinguish between adversarial and relational conflict, shifting from defending positions to fostering dialogue that allows difference to be worked with rather than fought against.

Over time, my focus shifted toward the wisdom of Self through embodied experience. For twelve years, I owned and directed a somatic movement studio, working with people living with complex trauma, chronic illness, and degenerative conditions. That experience grounded my understanding of how psyche moves through the body and how healing depends on both containment and imagination. My work as a movement teacher and somatic therapist coupled with years in training as a Jungian Analyst became the foundation for Jungian Somatics™, a body of work that is constantly evolving through clinical experience and research.

I’ve spent much of my professional life working in the margins of collective trauma and recovery, supporting survivors of sexual assault, political violence, and displacement. I’ve also worked with creatives and academics who want to reconnect with their moving and feeling lives, helping them rediscover the instinct and imagination that fuel their work.

As part of my individuation process, I spent several years as an actor and performer, a time that helped me shed layers to find the creative instinct that still guides everything I do.

During the pandemic, I hosted two seasons of a podcast exploring embodiment, psyche, and soul through conversations with artists, healers, and thinkers. I’ve been a guest on dozens of podcasts. co-authored a book published in the US and was a regular wellness columnist for several years, translating depth and somatic ideas into language that feels accessible and alive.

Alongside my clinical and teaching work, I’m also a social media researcher and speaker. My thesis, Social Media and the Collective Unconscious: Archetypal Algorithms and the Colonization of Psyche, explores the psychological and archetypal forces shaping digital culture. I’ve spoken internationally on this topic and published in a peer-reviewed journal examining how technology interacts with the symbolic life of the psyche.

Current Focus

My current work centres on the kinetic spirit, the lived experience of body and soul moving together. I offer training and consultation for analysts, therapists, and somatic practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of the unconscious through the body.

I continue to write and teach on Somatic Theology, embodied symbol formation, and the sacred imagination as pathways that help us listen to the soul’s movement toward wholeness. I also maintain a private analytic and somatic practice and teach internationally.

Across all my work, I’m devoted to one essential task: helping people rediscover the aliveness that sustains the soul.
