Who I am: I have been in the music industry as a writer, producer, and artist for the last two decades. I was trained in percussion starting at the age of 8 and was in every possible percussion related musical activity growing up. Band, orchestra, drumline, winter drumline, jazz band. I started playing guitar at 14. I started writing and performing my own music in 2005. I am also a digital artist and a co-founder of TART. I started studying/being trained in sound meditation in 2022. I have since completed my certification and training with Andrea Cortez at Mind Body Music Center.
What I do: I am a somatic sound practitioner. Which means I have learned how to use the healing properties of sound and music as a tool to connect to your body, your body’s wisdom, your intuition, collective consciousness, nature, and deeper levels of your own consciousness. To be present “in your body.” To go even beyond your intellectual mind and utilize your body’s intelligence + the connection between the two.
Superwell Specialties.
Gifted-Specific Support
I offer somatic support for gifted individuals that have a tendency to get stuck in their intellectual minds. This practice is deeper and beyond words, which can be a challenging space for gifted beings that have a proclivity for language. Sound Meditation focuses on your body + energy; areas of existence that those of us who are neurocomplex/gifted are regularly overriding.
Creative-Specific Support
As someone who has been in the music industry as an artist, creative director, and visual artist since 2005, I have a deep understanding of creative realms and the energy it can generate/utilize. I also understand the complexity of those experiences.
Neurodivergent-Specific Support
I have shaped my training to focus on the experience of neurcomplexity/neurodivergence. As a neurocomplex being myself, I understand the intensities / complexities / struggles / strengths of existing within a neurocomplex body with a neurocomplex consciousness + wiring. Being still can be a CHALLENGE. I understand the intense drive for our intellectual brains to take over. I understand how chatty our minds can get when we are not constantly moving or distracted. Together we will create a safe space to allow those thoughts to appear and be acknowledged, and then allow them to pass. Or draw attention to what may be helpful.
