I help therapists, healers, and space-holders bring decolonial and liberatory values into their work—so you’re not just saying you’re aligned… you’re actually practicing it. ⬆️ More integrity, more connection, more liberation. ⬇️ Less burnout, less performative wokeness, less colonial residue. If you want a practice where marginalized clients feel safe, seen, and honored—and you want to feel more grounded and intentional in your work—subscribe and join a growing community of practitioners doing this work differently. You practice can be liberatory-- let's get you there!

Reader,
The free monthly Q&A sessions (a.k.a. Decolonized Consultation Sessions) are back If you participated last year, you are automatically signed (but can opt out here if this is not the right time). 🌈 These are 55-min Q&A sessions where you get to ask all the questions you have about decolonizing and liberating your therapy and healing practice. You get to create community as the group will also offer feedback and suggestions that have worked for them. These groups are a wealth of communal knowledge! ☀️ I’ll answer as many questions we can cover in one meeting. ☀️ The meetings are recorded and shared for a limited time if you can’t attend. ☀️ You can attend to one or all meetings. If you have not joined yet, you can sign up below:
And share this email with ALL your therapists and healer friends, I want EVERY therapist and healer to decolonize and liberate their practices.

Let's connect! |

Reader, A quick update on what I'm working on: ❤️🩹 a field guide is coming... it will help you assess the conditions that actually help clients heal and stop feeling like you have to be everything for you clients.Read more about it in the PS section or sign up for the waitlist here. Can I call myself an ally? An accomplice? A co-conspirator? This question seems to come up again and again in liberatory spaces, and I have a somewhat uncomfortable answer: we don’t get to decide. Not because...

Monthly personal reflections of liberatory work beyond professional practice went out this last Monday. Read more about it in the PS section or subscribe here.
