Hi There, I’m Adrienne.
I hold sacred space for people ready to reconnect with their authentic selves through compassion, acceptance, and love. My work invites you to align with your true, divine nature and pursue what truly matters to you.
Let’s walk together toward the freedom of being fully yourself. Your presence and gifts are very much needed on this planet!
I’m a devoted advocate for both individual and collective healing, with a special focus on relational health as the foundation for lasting well-being and evolution of humanity. For over a decade, I’ve supported clients as a somatic and intuitive practitioner—creating attuned spaces for inner clarity, embodied resonance, and trauma integration.
My roots are in western and eastern philosophy, as an educator, that brought me to the power of direct experience—teaching, listening, witnessing—that made me realize lasting transformation doesn’t happen through more information, but through emotional safety. This led me to train in modalities including non-violent communication, mindfulness, yoga, transpersonal hypnotherapy, and eventually deepening into somatic therapy, intuitive energy work through the Rose Lineage, to repattern and rewire individual and systemic trauma.
In individual sessions and group spaces, my approach is gentle. emergent, and collaborative—not to “fix,” but to foster safety, self-trust, compassion, empathy, and reconnection with the body’s innate wisdom. Healing, for me, is our remembering of coherence, belonging, and to the truth of our relational nature—and what I call integration—or the integrity inherent in being in our “wholeness.” We are embedded in nature and we are essential to it.
When I’m not in session, I’m likely hiking, meditating, writing, learning, traveling, or simply listening—to the breath, the earth, and the subtle rhythms of life.
My offerings are categorized in three main themes. If you aren’t sure which is quite right for you, book a consulation with me:
Energetic Alchemy—identifying, evolving, and clearning energetic structures in your bio-field shaping your experience of reality
Intuitive Healings—clearing foreign energy, removal of cords/agreements, aura readings, Akashic and past-life clearings.
Somatic Sensing—unwinding internalized, unconscious embodied patterns, and identity and rewrite neuro-emotional survival responses that block your life force energy.
Frameworks of Well-Being
“The human frame being what it is, heart, body, and brain all mixed together, and not contained in separate compartments...”
~Virginia Woolf
The words we choose mirror the resonance we carry, serving as a subtle diagnostic—revealing the degree of coherence between mind and heart, thought and feeling, intellect, and soma.
As Virginia Woolf observed, the human frame—heart, body, and brain—can not be compartmentalized. In fact, this quote points to the irrationality contained in segmenting of the self favored by modern rationalism, that I discovered while earning my Master’s in Western Philosophy, desparately searching for “Truth” in conceptual constructs.
However, it was Woolf who first illuminated for me, that consciousness resists separation; how the messiness of the body, the fluidity of emotion, and the architecture of thought are all threads in the same loom, very much interconnected and dependent on eachother.
What fascinated me about her work is not merely her clever use of words, but her stance; she craved a more accurate human portrait—one that refused to exile the body from the domain of intellect. Her language didn't escape this complexity; it entered it with precision and grace. She showed that our attempts to isolate the 'mind' often betray deeper fears of embodiment—and that healing begins with a willingness to feel, to remember, to re-integrate all layers of our being. That’s why talk therapy doesn’t neccessarily create the kind of results many first imagine. I know that was true for me. I had to teach myself about my trauma, the brain, and how it impacted my nervous system.
Somatic Integration helps us restore coherence between the fragmented parts of self—past and present, mind and body, protector and inner child, etc. It gives us a new vocabulary for sensing, feeling, and expressing what may have gone unnamed for too long.
When we find language that resonates with our full experience, something shifts. Not just in our story—but in our nervous system, our relationships, and our capacity to feel more whole.This is the space from which healing—and new possibility emerges.

"Trauma Informed" vs. "Trauma Trained"
I am a certified "trauma-informed" yoga teacher, hypnotherapist, mindfulness educator, somatic practitioner, and group facilitator, which means I have accumulated over 1,000 hours of course work, practice, and demonstrated competency in understanding of what trauma is, how it can show up in people's nervous systems and lives, so that I can offer nervous system education, tools, and practices that create safer spaces for people with trauma to be in.
Trauma informed practitioners are distinct from "trauma trained" therapists, that have usually completed a more time intensive and in-depth, professional training program, receiving supervision and support. I have not completed a professional 2-year therapy or counseling program, nor am I state certified therapist. However, I do have 17 years of experience as an educator and have worked with clients one-on-one and in groups which has given me experience that can’t be gained by any training program.
