My Story

I came to this work because it was the work I needed for myself.

A journey to resolve persistent autoimmune issues in my thirties put me on a path of seeking out any healing modality I could find. From traditional medicine to alternative therapies, I was willing to entertain anything if I thought it had a chance of helping my physical ailments — and the profound malnourishment of my soul.

I sought out the crystal healers, took plant medicine in the jungle, and just about everything in between. Some modalities were sexy but empty. Others were simple but rocked my system in ways I couldn't explain at the time. Over the course of a decade I began finding the practices that helped me find my path, and dedicated myself to learning the healing arts I wish I had found sooner.

The more I studied, the more I found that the modalities which resonated most were not heroic — meaning they did not promise to fix a problem, conquer a system, or bestow a magical insight that would cure what ailed me. What worked were the philosophies that honored the wisdom of my own body and my own psyche. These practices listened to my system, helped address what was clouding the communication, and allowed my body and soul to speak.

Chiropractors call it innate intelligence. Jungian analysts call it the transcendent function. Others call it the longing of the soul, or the flow of chi or prana. The modalities I have ended up pursuing all center around a practice of deep listening — and a trust that some part of you already knows the direction it needs to flow.

We listen to symptoms, feel out ailments, pay attention to dreams and images, and work to understand the language of the part of you that seeks expression. My own life radically changed when I began trusting this wisdom. The lives of many of my clients have similarly shifted.

This is what the work of Invoke is built upon. Whether it is bodywork, subtle body work, imagery from the tarot, or learning to listen to the sensations in your body — I have a deep trust that the more we can learn the language of your own system, the closer you get to a life that moves into alignment with your Soul.
