FIRST THINGS FIRST

You don’t need to be fixed. I offer tools and a steady, grounded space where you can slow down, return to your body, and meet what is true for you. From there, real change and possibility unfold.

About me

Before founding Guided Place, I spent a decade working as a Casting Director in Chicago. That work taught me how to listen closely, read subtle cues, and hold space for people in moments of vulnerability and transition, skills that subtly inform everything I do now.

In 2018, I returned home to New Albany, Indiana with my husband, Nick, and our children. Guided Place emerged soon after, shaped by a generous community and the support of Emily Gray and KOZY, who have offered space for this work to unfold.

What began as a personal return inward gradually became a practice of service. Guided Place grew from my own commitment to presence, listening, and embodied awareness into a space where others could do the same.

My approach

My work is shaped by lived experience, long-term study, and a deep trust in the intelligence of the body.

I draw from somatic, energetic, and intuitive practices to create sessions that are grounded, responsive, and integrative. I’m less interested in labels and more interested in what actually supports your system in the moment.

This approach blends:

  • the body and inner knowing

  • structure and fluidity

  • insight and integration
