Finances & Money: Mind & Body Experience
This isn't budgeting advice or financial planning. It's something deeper, an exploration of the relationship you have with money, where it came from, and what it's costing you to keep carrying it the way you do.
Money is energy. It's neutral, but it's always in motion, always responding to something. And what it's responding to, most of the time, is your nervous system, the narrative you have been carrying since childhood. Your fears, your inherited beliefs, the stories you absorbed before you had the words for them. The tension in your body when an invoice arrives. The guilt when someone pays for lunch. The paralysis when you try to raise your rates or pay a bill.
This is where financial therapy begins, not with a spreadsheet, but with honest curiosity about what's actually happening beneath the surface. Where psychology meets the practical. We explore how your money narrative affects your daily interactions with money, to reduce the stress it can create.

I also want to acknowledge something that doesn't get named enough in conversations about money: the systems we live in matter. Capitalism, gender, race, class, and intergenerational poverty and the intersection of the structures with our personal lives. These shape our money stories in real and lasting ways, and can leave us feeling like the problem is personal when so much of it is structural. This is a space where we can hold both — the systemic and the personal — without bypassing either.
I've done this work myself. For years, I focused on the mindset layer — the beliefs, the reframes, the affirmations — and while that work matters, I kept finding that something was missing. That missing piece was the body. We can't think our way into a new relationship with money. We have to show our nervous system it's safe, not tell it. That's the work I want to do with you.
I believe change is possible for you. Not because I think healing is simple, but because I've lived it and I've witnessed it, again and again, in the people I work with. Your corner of the world can look different. Let's find out what that means for you.
