So glad to have you here.

​

I practice in Milwaukee, WI along the southeast shores of Lake Michigan, where the Kinnickinnic, Menomonee, and Milwaukee rivers meet. I honor these lands and waters as the ancestral and current homeland of Indigenous Peoples including Potowatomi, Ho-Chunk, and Menomonee who have tended the land and waters for thousands of years. The land and water matter to me. It is our body. 

 

I am queer, neuro-divergent, and endlessly fascinated by and in love with Life - specifically how it moves through the human body, mind, and spirit, and it's interconnectedness with all things, especially plants. My passion and specialty is working with trauma, and how it speaks through the physical and energetic body. By listening deeply in collaboration and tending what arises with compassion, we witness a connection to your body wisdom that can help you move through life accessing more pleasure, ease, and aliveness.

​

Because we are complex and ever changing beings, I've gathered a diversity of tools and methods to meet you in the moment. You can browse my list of trainings as a way of understanding just a portion of what informs my work.

 

I also love to co-facilitate events and am continually interested in connecting with the community through the common thread of heart-centered living.

 

You might get to know me more through occasional newsletters by offering your email in the subscription box at the top of this page. I sometimes share about my love of herbalism, gardening, following the seasons, singing, dancing, and other forms of nourishment that bring me joy, as well as other community offerings that feel aligned. 

​

In shared presence and curiosity,

 

Shay
