Her work was born out of her own desire to feel deep intimacy and wild passion in her relationships, and she now guides couples and individuals into deeper connection, expression, and union by working with their communication and energetics. Her deeper mission is to bridge the gap between the masculine and feminine in relationships, and more broadly, through shared perspective, understanding, and resonance. She is trained in somatics, tantra, neuroscience, and communication, with additional expertise in masculine-feminine energetics and polarity. Outside of facilitating events in online and in Chicago, she hosts The Divine Union Podcast, loves doing Qigong in a random park in the city, studies Kabbalah, and enjoys cozying up in a local coffee shop with a book.
