Are you ready to move from longing to living out loud?

Hi, I’m Kaye.

As a trauma survivor, I welcome you to this space. You are not alone. Whatever you’re experiencing as you seek support, know that I see you as whole, sacred, and inherently worthy.

For 20 years I struggled with chronic physical and mental health challenges with no clear cause. I seemed to have had a pretty good life, so why did I feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and lost? Outwardly I had been a great student, a leader, an artist, and a successful graphic designer. Friends saw me as someone who was easy-going, spiritual, grounded, and encouraging of self-love. Inwardly I felt fear and shame as I frequently collapsed into anxiety, depression, avoidance, and chronic pain and fatigue.

I sought relief through yoga and meditation, even becoming a teacher, but something was missing. I traveled solo for 1.5 years, fulfilling a childhood dream and hoping that somewhere along the way I would find the answers. I tried to meet all my emotions and experiences with compassion, but I was overwhelmed by them, spiraling downward and stuck.

At this point I found a somatic coaching program and learned that in order to expand our capacity to hold all of ourselves, we must also draw near to our desires, pleasure, and all that empowers us from within. These parts may feel lost, buried, numb, or perhaps you’re not even sure what they feel like, but they are your sacred birthright. They glimmer within your depths, ready to guide you home to your authentic, vibrant self.

We will adventure into your inner landscape, connecting with layers that have long been waiting to share both their needs and their superpowers with you. Along the way we’ll gently bring limiting beliefs and patterns into the light, where they can be met with compassion and lovingly invited to align with your values and goals. Bringing this rich inner ecosystem into balance will allow you not just to manage your needs, but to create the wildly liberated life of your dreams.

Pleasure will be a key resource as we gradually teach your system that it’s safe to have what you long for. We’ll connect with and embrace your life force, sexuality and creative energy for transformational healing. Deep inner work takes courage and commitment, but that doesn’t mean it has to involve pushing through (that can often just be re-traumatizing and counter-productive). We’ll build love, pleasure, and tender care into every step of the way.

Is this journey right for you?

If you have unintegrated and/or unconscious parts of yourself, you may experience:

  • Suppressing or feeling overwhelmed by your emotions because they feel too intense 

  • Feeling confused or out of control around your patterns of behavior and emotional responses

  • Simultaneously feeling a strong desire for a goal and being unable to move toward it

  • Desiring healthy relationships but feeling unable to attract people who feel aligned, or show up authentically when you do

  • Feeling terrified of conflict, setting boundaries, or communicating your needs

  • Spiraling in the same old negative stories about yourself and others

  • Feeling trapped in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn

  • Feeling chronically stressed, exhausted, burned out, powerless, defeated

  • Disconnection from your aliveness, vitality, creativity, and passion for life

  • Symptoms like chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, or brain fog that have no clear cause

  • Numbness, dissociation, or emotions like fear or shame around connecting with your body

  • Not enjoying sex and pleasure, or struggling to identify and communicate your desires

People come to this work for many reasons. It could start with relief from some of the experiences above, but we will orient our work towards your desires. We’ll figure this out together (and you may be surprised with where we land!), but here’s a sampling of desires to give you an idea:

  • Feel safe and vibrantly turned on during sex  

  • Embrace all my emotions for raw artistic expression

  • Feel worthy and confident taking up space and setting boundaries 

  • Open to being a multi-orgasmic goddess

  • Fall in love with my wife again and co-create our dream life

  • Experience my body as a divinely beautiful gift and wise teacher

  • Attract an aligned partner for a sacred, conscious partnership

  • Transform my pain into my power

  • Feel grounded in self-trust as my business expands

  • Parent my kids with compassionate self-knowledge and powerful cycle-breaking

  • Flow through life with ease as a confident Warrior Queen

  • Take aligned action from a place of deep inner knowing

  • Feel bliss and nourishment as I open to adventure

No topic is taboo! It is truly an honor to hold space for a diverse array of humans seeking to live according to their own vision of thriving.

 FAQs

  • Therapy is a top-down approach, meaning that you are working at the level of the conscious mind to talk about your past and current struggles. Therapists diagnose and treat mental health conditions, and are trained to work with those in mental health crises. With coaching we’re beginning with your desires/goals and using them as a North Star to see what’s holding you back from having them. My work combines top-down and bottom-up approaches, meaning we’ll get in touch with the body, work with the subconscious, and get all parts of your mind, body and nervous system in agreement so that you can move towards your desires/goals more easily. Past trauma can come up during coaching and we can work with that, but please know that coaches are not certified to treat mental health conditions. Working with both a somatic coach and a therapist can be a beautiful complementary approach.

  • Life coaching is similar to therapy in that it is a top-down approach, focused on mindset, affirmations, and talking through things. Your conscious mind may be on board, but if your body doesn’t agree or believe you, that won’t get you very far! Our emotions and wounding live in the body, so including it in healing is essential. My work combines top-down and bottom-up approaches, meaning we’ll get in touch with the body, work with the subconscious, and get all parts of your mind, body and nervous system in agreement so that you can move towards your desires/goals with more ease.

 Commitments & Qualifications

  • My work is trauma-informed and I am committed to creating safer and braver spaces that are inclusive for LGBTQIA2+, BIPOC, and those with disabilities. I am committed to educating myself and I am still learning. I am always open to being compassionately called in by those from marginalized groups. Within our opening conversation and in my intake documents there will be space to discuss how I can best be of service to you and honor your identities, beliefs, and needs. Feedback will also be encouraged throughout our time together. That said, if we determine that you would feel better served by someone who shares your identities/experiences, I will gladly refer you to one of my VITA™ coaching peers.

    I acknowledge that colonization has depended on dehumanizing and sexualizing people of color, so qualities like “primal” or “wild” that feel empowering and rich to some people, may land quite differently for others. If so I honor your experience. If you choose to work with me, we will always work with language and concepts that you love.

  • My work involves some teachings that are not of my ethnic origin. These are my commitments to remain in integrity:

    I will only include practices and teachings that have been purposely shared with the world, with non-native teachers having been trained and encouraged to share them.

    I will never include practices and teachings that are meant only for people within an indigenous group, or only to be taught by those from the group.

    I will always share the origins and lineage of anything I teach, and I welcome questions.

    I will continue to learn and center intersectionality in my work and personal life.

    I will remain open to new perspectives and information on this topic, and make changes if needed.
