“I know what it’s like to feel disconnected, so you don’t have to find your way back on your own.”
From a young age I have been led by my inner guidance towards being a space holder and practitioner for holistic healing, one who is committed to bettering humanity and all of the natural world. My heart thrives to practice in this connective way.
Embodied Wisdom, Heart Led
I am a Advance Somatic Practitioner and space holder of regenerative wisdom, walking in rhythm with nature and her seasons, carrying tides of knowledge from years of life experience and deep, embodied wisdom.
I am a mother of 5 spirited humans. Each of them has been a teacher in presence, resilience, and love. My work is shaped by a life lived in deep relationship with the natural world and the cycles of birth, growth and becoming the true essence of me.
My Path to This Work
My journey into this work began long before I had words for it. I came into this world a month early, spending my first 30 days in an incubator at a time when science didn’t yet understand how essential touch and connection are to a newborn’s nervous system. That early separation quietly shaped how I experienced safety and belonging in my own body and the world around me.
As I walked my own personal path of healing, I tried many outlets, talk therapy, retreats, reiki, nature immersion, somatic work, cranial sacral therapy, acupuncture, and nervous system support. What I found was that the common thread of real support was always body-based work.
As life unfolded, I faced experiences that left deep imprints, loss, divorce, the challenges of raising neurodiverse children as a single mother, long-term Lyme disease, and the relentless pace of the modern world. Through it all, I spent years unknowingly carrying these lived experiences in my body, unaware of how deeply they shaped my inner world. As a highly sensitive, deeply attuned person, I realized that talk therapy alone could never reach the places in me that needed to be met, the embodied, felt-sense places where my nervous system had stored what words could not express.
I spent much of my life feeling separate from my own true self, unaware of the deep inner resources that were already within me, waiting to be discovered and trusted. What I came to learn is that my felt sense, my innate internal wisdom, was the bridge back to myself, the very foundation of my healing.
It was during my years mentoring children and adults in nature connection that another piece of my own healing began to emerge. As I guided others to build a relationship with the natural world, I found myself reconnecting with my own inner child and forgotten creativity. The woods, the waters, the quiet tracks in the snow reminded me of a time when I felt safe, alive, and deeply rooted in a way I had long forgotten.
As I dove fully into the gifts of the natural world as a mentor and apprentice, tracking became a deep passion of mine. Perhaps not in the same way most trackers find joy in identifying paw prints or following animal trails, but in the way it brought me to life inside. I began to see the connection between tracking the outer world of animals and landscapes, and tracking our own inner terrain, the subtle cues of the body, the whispers of our nervous system, the places where old experiences had left their mark.
This connection guided me to become a somatic practitioner and ultimately create F.E.R.N Wisdom,

And I Walk With each Day in Gratitude,
This Work is Not Mine Alone, it is rooted in the wisdom of many who have walked before me and alongside me. I am deeply grateful for the guidance, teachings, and inspiration I’ve received from,
My children, who continually show me what it means to be present, curious, and courageous.
The land itself, trees, tides, and wild creatures that remind me what it means to belong.
My mentors in (Healing), who taught me to listen, not fix, to honor what the body knows, and to trust the unseen, and the intuitive.
Nature guides and trackers, whose deep attunement to rhythms of the earth has shaped how I walk in the world and helped me find my way home.
The communities of Woman I’ve sat in circle with, where truth, witnessing, tenderness, and power have risen in equal measure.
Elders, authors and healer-whose words and presence have lit the path, even from afar.
Each has left a imprint on the way I hold space, the way I listen, and the way I guide.
