Hey there, I’m Emily ...
I create containers for intimate groups of women to come together and do cool shit.
Welcome in… I don’t think it’s an accident you’re here.
I’ve spent over 13 years as a trauma therapist, specializing in Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and integrating psychedelics into healing work. I ran a private therapy practice for over 5 years before transitioning to facilitating group spaces full time.
Now, I get to witness the exponential healing only available within community.
I’m a curious person by nature (I think we all are in some way). I embrace living in the questions and realizing that the more I know… the less I know. I love working with people who also want to ask the big + deep questions of their soul.
I delight in the paradox of always learning more and fully trusting myself.
I created the Self-Trust Model to help synthesize so much of what I’ve learned in nearly 15 years in the human psychology world. We work within the belief that more confidence and less anxiety are byproducts of more Self-Trust.
Formerly a proud nomad, I now find solace in home + family amidst the beauty of Colorado. But, you can still find me galavanting into the magical Pacific Northwest forests often. I prefer this definition of home: “The place someone flourishes best” .
No matter what group container you choose to join, I invite you to approach the experience with curiosity and openness.
These connections and experiences can be portals to deeper connections.
With yourself. And with the other brave souls embarking with you.
Grab a mug of tea… and welcome to your transformation.
with curiosity,
Emily

I’m a tea fanatic and begin each day with an English Breakfast tea latte (or 6). 🫖
I’m an avid hiker. (quiet treks in solitude > busy 14’ers + national parks - although this pic was taken at the top of Angel’s Landing in Zion NP — worth it.)
I’m still an overthinker when it comes to self-disclosure. Blame it on 13 years as a trauma therapist.
I’m an introvert who still secretly celebrates when plans get canceled. 🤫
I’m a believer in the healing power of mountain air + snow. ❄️
I’m a person who values intentional + deep relationships.
I’m a former nomad who probably over-romanticizes that time of my life.
I’m a 4/6 Splenic Manifestor. But I don’t know enough about Human Design yet to know if this resonates.
I’m a person who has a complicated relationship with labeling any of my “identities”.
I’ve made the decision to no longer work under my therapist license (March 2024).
