Dreamkeeping is a method I have created over my years of experience working with my own Intuitive Shamanic and dream experiences and immense training in Depth Psychology, Jungian-and Indigenous-based Dreamwork, Eastern Somatic Practices, Meditation & Awareness Practices and the Tarot.

I utilize these in different capacities as a foundation within all of my offerings.

Like a beekeeper would, my work is to hold your dreams (waking or sleeping) as sacred. To enter into the space with reverence and love. To support in removing any obstacles necessary for your own growth and expansion and assist in the process where needed.

My goal with this method is to utilize techniques which create safety in your body, calm your mind and tap into the voice of your intuition —the voice of your dreams.

No matter what we are working with, I like to start with gentle, seated somatic movement to clear your energy and get you into your body. From there I guide you into a grounding meditation to root you into the experience. Once you feel regulated, we will work with either a nighttime dream or a particular situation in your waking life and (when applicable), tap into the symbolic meaning of it to uncover the wisdom underneath the surface. 

Additionally, we might utilize the Tarot to build a waking dream regarding a particular life situation so that we can work through it as we would a dream — allowing you to intuitively find your own answers from within. In this way, Embodied Dreamweaving calls in the mind, body and soul into the entirety of the experience.

I will have an office space soon, but for now, I hold most of my Embodied Dream Therapy Sessions online via Zoom. When weather permits and depending on the need of the session, sessions can also be held somewhere in nature within the Santa Cruz or San Jose area.

My supplemental add-on sessions can vary depending on the type. Reach out to me to discuss.

I let you lead the way. These sessions are for you and I will intuitively guide you based on what it seems like would best support. Ways we could work together in a single session:

• Holding space to talk through a particular life situation, challenge or question

• Utilizing Embodied Dreamweaving Tarot for guidance to a particular life concern

• Working through a single nighttime dream

• Working through “dream mapping”. This could look like working through themes of dreams over the course of a specific timeframe to uncover the wisdom of series of dreams.

• Guided somatic movement or personalized meditation for regulation and connection

• Eastern Somatic Attachment Repair sessions to connect to your inner child needing support from within the body

• Cultivation of a ritual, ceremony or mindful practice for a specific area of your life.

• Shamanic journey guided meditation to connect to spirit guides and ancestral support

• In-person guided nature mindfulness walks

I offer 60 and 90 minute sessions.

These immersive experiences are sacred. They are for individuals who are either looking to establish a ritualistic and sacred reconnection to their dream world OR a deep opportunity to spend time exploring a “big” dream. These big dreams can be initiations, visitations, numinous, or dream travel/out of body/lucid experiences.

This is an opportunity to allow for the time needed to honor your dreams and these special gifted experiences in ways that will provide the space needed to cultivate a deeper resonance and relationship to the wisdom of the dream realm.

Embodied Dream Therapy sessions can happen as much as you’d like. Think of them like going to the gym for your intuition and soul. In my experience, weekly sessions have been INCREDIBLE at deepening the connection to ourselves. I personally did weekly sessions for 4 years straight and know that I wouldn’t be where I am today with my dreams if I hadn’t had the gift of that experience.

That said, we don’t all have access to the time, energy or resources for that, so the answer is, it’s up to you!

The amount of dedication you show your yourself and your dreams in this way is equivalent to the amount of support they will provide back whether that is with me in session or on your own with them.

Most of my clients range from seeing me every other week to once a month — integrating as-needed sessions as necessary.

ABSOLUTELY! Please don’t worry if you don’t remember your dreams. This is actually very common and can be a sign that we could use more attention in the realm of our soul.

My goal with this work is to encourage you to start to see the world as a dream. To tap into your own inner wisdom and intuition. Through the ingredients of my sessions, we will find a way to support you where you’re at and I wouldn’t be surprised if your dreams come back soon thereafter.

Embodied Dream Therapy is a combination of : empowerment coaching and embodied dreamwork. It is not traditional “therapy” nor is it a replacement for traditional therapy. I utilize this term because it is an approachable way to understand this work.

What it really means is that it is a therapeutic approach to working with your life and nighttime dreams.

I always recommend having previous experience with or current access to, a psychotherapist or psychologist while doing this work should something arise that could use additional support.

I believe dreams are the language of our souls.

While we sleep, our subconscious comes to life in order to connect us deeper to ourselves and the Universe.

The challenge is, they speak in a language we have to learn to understand. One rich with symbolism, metaphor, energy, emotion and more all related to our direct experience in this life.

Our dreams can be our greatest teacher if we take the time to learn their language and take action from their wisdom.

They can teach us to see our waking world as a dream — leading to more intuitive guidance and therefore, empowerment and magic in our daily lives.

Absolutely! I created this single offering so that we have permission to merge the waking and sleeping dream. They are not separate from each other, and my sessions go as deep into your personal life as you feel comfortable and I am capable.

When we “work” a single nighttime dream, we are essentially trying to sort out its meaning and ask of us. We could take a single dream and work to uncover what the dream is saying to you — what it’s asking of you in order to move forward into your highest and best version of yourself.

I utilize a somatic and embodied approach to my dreamwork along with many Jungian and Tibetan Dream Yoga practices. Together we will work with guided meditation, gentle somatic practices and the Tarot to enhance your intuitive muscle and a deeper understanding of the dream’s symbolic message.

My hope is that you leave a session with me feeling more connected to your dream’s wisdom, your body, and your spirit with an action in-hand to take your dream into the waking world and cultivate positive change in your life.

Working with our dreams connects us deeper to ourselves and our own intuition. We have an inner authority that knows and when we can learn to trust this part of ourselves, our whole lives change.

Our dreams provide healing, guidance and connection to the Divine. They help guide us through the processing of trauma and events of our day so that we can feel through them, be with them and ultimately, let them go and move forward. They offer us wisdom and insight into our deepest emotions and feelings so that we can understand ourselves on an intrinsic level.

Maybe you’ve heard, “everything is a dream” or “life is but a dream”. When you work with your dreams long enough, you’ll begin to see that this magical idea is in fact, true. We are consciousness. We are a soul having a human experience. Everything we experience is a symbolic reflection of our own experience. When we can see life this way and learn the hidden symbolic language all around us, we can see that life is always working FOR us not TO us. Seeing the world this way is magical and creates a kind of empowerment that was perhaps not there before.

All this said, it takes TIME and practice to understand this. Don’t worry, I will help.
