Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

If you’re feeling like so many in these uncertain times—anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, disembodied, or simply “off”—my book, Cutting Loose: My Journey from Survival Mode to Embodied Flow, just might help you return to a truer, steadier, and more alive version of yourself.

For many years, I felt disconnected from myself and others because I lived in a state of chronic fight-or-flight, which manifested as a rare body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB)—part of the broader family of obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRDs). The standard therapeutic approaches proved ineffective, and I’d all but given up hope of feeling at home in my own body when I stumbled upon my first somatic practice. I’ve been exploring somatic methods and embodied living ever since—even becoming a certified Somatic Stress Release™ practitioner.

In Cutting Loose, I share how I reclaimed my body, my voice, and my life after being held captive for years by the survival responses that once protected me. If you’ve been searching for alternative, holistic pathways toward nervous system regulation and somatic healing, this book is for you. Cutting Loose invites you to reconnect with your body’s wisdom, loosen outdated coping patterns, and step into greater ease, flow, and freedom.

Readers Are Feeling It…

“Deeply researched, disarmingly funny, and quietly revolutionary.” —Jenny Porter, author of The Space Between

Written with compassion and striking clarity, the book translates complex somatic ideas into language readers can truly grasp. Part memoir and part gentle guide, each chapter ends with a simple “Sense It for Yourself” somatic practice so readers can immediately apply what they’ve learned. The result is a deeply personal yet highly accessible guide to feeling more grounded, present, and alive.” —Amy Smyth Miller, author of Home: A Memoir of Family, Forgiveness, and Healing from Complex PTSD

“I’ll absolutely be recommending this book to clients, colleagues, friends…and probably anyone else who’ll listen. It’s heartfelt without being heavy, profound without being preachy, and serious in all the right places while still making room for humor, grace, and our shared humanity. Some books entertain. Some books teach. The rare ones do both while quietly changing the way you even see yourself. Cutting Loose is one of those books.” —Gina Bradburn, LCSW and EMDR-trained therapist
