I am a certified somatic therapist who specializes in touch therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and nurturing space to promote self-awareness, self-connection, and healing through the body. I offer trauma-informed healing collaborations welcoming of people of color, queer & trans people, and all bodies. Sessions are available in West Philly and Delaware County (Morton) in PA. My identities/lens: I am a queer cisgender woman, raised in a White Jewish-Argentine immigrant household. I work within the framework that we live within a myriad of intersecting systems of power and oppression that shape our bodies, our sense of self, and our patterns of behavior, thought, and ways of relating to others. I believe that embodied practices are integral to honoring the fullness of our humanity, transforming harms we’ve experienced, and nurturing our liberation (at personal and collective levels). My lens as a practitioner is also informed by my previous work with LGBTQIA+, Latinx, and low-income communities as a social researcher, educator, and activist.
