Values, Ethics & Guiding Principles

The coaching and somatic bodywork I offer is rooted in autonomy, compassion, integrity, care, and trust in the innate wisdom of each person. These values are the foundation of how I approach this work, and they are present in every session I facilitate.

Values are more than words. They are living principles that guide how I show up in relationship with clients, and with myself.

These are the values that shape the energy, ethics, and intentions of my practice.

1. Flow and Interconnection

Relationships are not static. They move through seasons, cycles, and moments of transformation, just like everything else in life. My work supports you in staying connected to that movement rather than gripping for certainty or a fixed structure. Whether you're navigating a new relationship, an existing one, or reworking how you relate altogether, I honor your rhythm and the wider web of people you're in relationship with.

In a culture that prizes individualism, and often a narrow, closed idea of partnership, it's easy to forget that how we love affects more than just ourselves. Your relationships ripple outward, into your other relationships, your community, and the people around you.

2. Beyond Scripts

Relationships are not just about the words we use to define them. They live in how we show up, how we communicate, and how we handle what's hard. I listen for what's spoken and what's underneath it. Together we create space for honest, direct communication, where naming what's true doesn't require a script neither of us actually wrote.

3. Honoring Your Own Shape

You are building relationships with your own timing and story. My role is to walk beside you as you figure out what actually works for you, not what you've been told should. I believe you are the expert of your own relationships. I bring frameworks and tools, but you bring the knowledge of your own life. Together, we follow the shape that's right for you.

4. Empowerment and Agency

Relationships bring challenges, and within those challenges is often growth. I don't believe in bypassing conflict, jealousy or hard conversations by rushing toward positivity. I meet what's difficult with curiosity and compassion, not denial dressed up as harmony. My work invites you to find your agency and strength inside the hard moments, not around them.

5. Consent, Trust and Integrity

Good relationships happen when people feel safe enough to be honest. I work to create a space that invites trust, and I ask for consent with any work we do together. I hold myself accountable through ongoing supervision, study and reflection, so that my practice stays grounded in integrity.

6. Wholeness and Integration

Our culture often encourages people to split off parts of themselves to fit a relationship structure. My work supports the integration of all your parts, including the ones that don't fit neatly into a single relationship or role. Together, we bring these parts into relationship with each other, so you can move through your relationships more connected to your own guidance. After each session, I offer tools and practices to help you carry the work forward into everyday life.

7. Safer Space and Collective Liberation

I care about creating spaces where people can show up as they are. That means not tolerating racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, classism, fascism, ableism, or other forms of dehumanization. These systems create real harm and they do not belong in coaching spaces, or in the relationships we build.

Relationships are political. My political values are shaped by a rejection of domination and hierarchy, and by a trust in your capacity to govern your own body, relationships and community without anyone else's coercion. I am not here to fix you or tell you what your relationships should look like. I am here to walk with you, side by side, as you build relationships on your own terms.

I don't believe this work should only be available to those who can pay full price, and I hold that as more than a nice idea. I offer sliding scale pricing, and I'm committed to keeping this practice as accessible as I can while it stays sustainable for me.

This is imperfect, evolving work, and I don't claim to have any answers. What I offer instead is solidarity: staying in the work with you, naming harm when I see it, and building something more honest and more free, one relationship at a time.
