Naming & Taming the Elephants in the Room

As a kid, I wanted to illustrate children’s books. That morphed into a career as a theatrical stage manager, telling stories onstage.

Years later, severe asthma – requiring that I lug a nebulizer machine everywhere – sent me to an acupuncturist, despite my needle phobia. Surprisingly, that lead to a master’s, then a doctorate in acupuncture and herbal medicine. Now I help people rewrite their stories about what it means to be alive, living in their bodies.

When COVID hit, I was the Director of Clinical Education at my alma mater, tasked with taking a 3,000 year old medicine online. The program I developed there has now evolved to become my Distance Mind Body Integration℠ (DMBI℠) work – individualized guided somatic meditations and coaching that help people create their own healing stories from the inside out.

I also take DMBI℠ into large groups and corporate events. This stealth belonging work allows individuals to embody their own story of truly belonging wherever they are, while building connections with their colleagues that are vital to the co-creation of healthier, more vibrant companies and teams.

My life’s work continues to be creating stories big enough for us all to live in.

So, where do the elephants come in? 

They are the stories waiting to be re-imagined, retold and reintegrated.

Come. Let’s draw a bigger circle together.
