CONVERSATIONS

Let’s make room
for the humans in the room.

Good information should still feel alive.

I offer speaking engagements and interactive workshops for the people caring for students, patients, teams, organizations, communities, and everyone in between.

The people doing deeply human work are often expected to keep showing up without much room to notice how they are doing.

I create sessions where we can slow down, get curious, and talk honestly about stress, wellness, and the relationship between our minds and bodies.

There may be education, storytelling, reflection, breathwork, movement, conversation, or a little unexpected play. Every experience is shaped with the people in the room in mind.

Where might we begin?

  • Our bodies are often communicating long before we have words for what we are feeling.

    This session offers an accessible look at the mind-body connection, nervous-system regulation, and the ways stress can show up physically, mentally, and emotionally.

    Participants will begin noticing their own cues and explore practical ways to meet themselves in those moments.

  • Burnout does not always arrive all at once. Sometimes it looks like exhaustion. Sometimes it looks like irritability, disconnection, over-functioning, or forgetting that you have needs, too.

    Together, we’ll explore how burnout develops, what our bodies may be trying to tell us, and how boundaries and everyday practices can help create a more sustainable way of working and living.

  • Mindfulness does not require an empty mind, a silent room, or a perfectly peaceful morning.

    This session introduces approachable breathwork, movement, grounding, and awareness practices that can fit into real days, including the busy, messy, overstimulating ones.

    Participants will leave with simple tools they can actually return to.

Something your group needs to talk about?

The provided topics can stand alone or become the starting point for something more specific.

I can create custom workshops for organizations navigating a particular challenge, supporting a specific group, or hoping to open a conversation that deserves more care than a generic presentation can offer.

My hope is that participants leave with:

  • A clearer understanding of stress, regulation, and their own well-being

  • Practical tools they can use beyond the room

  • More awareness of what their bodies may be communicating

  • Language for experiences that can be difficult to explain

  • A little more curiosity, playfulness, and room to breathe

tell me about your group

I know what it’s like to be in the room.

My approach is shaped by my experience in nursing, school wellness, health education, and group facilitation.

As a rural emergency room nurse, I worked alongside people navigating trauma, urgency, emotional intensity, and burnout. In school wellness, I taught students in grades 5 through 12 about the mind-body connection, somatic symptoms, breathwork, and grounding practices.

I have also facilitated Play Dates at Treehouse Yoga Studio and led gatherings exploring self-love, younger selves, nervous-system awareness, and coming back to yourself.

I don’t enter a room assuming I know everything about the people inside it. I bring what I know, stay curious about what I don’t, and create space for people to meet the material in their own way.

What does
your room
need?

Tell me who’s gathering, what matters to them, and what you hope they carry with them when they leave.

From there, we can choose an existing topic or create something that fits.
