welcome
| I'm Zoey, a midwife of healing + EMBODIED LIBERATION |
by trade…i’m a somatic experiencing practitioner, transformational facilitator, movement + meditation teacher & storyteller.
I’m dedicated to guiding you on a journey of profound healing and liberation. For over two decades, I've immersed myself in understanding the intricate connections between body, mind, and spirit through both conventional and unconventional approaches, studying with some of the world's leading programs and minds.
my path to discovering life’s treasures through the deeper work
My path to discovering life’s treasures through deeper work began as a personal quest for healing that I couldn't find elsewhere, despite years of personal and professional study in this realm. Navigating deep grief, disease, and a profound loss of self, I experienced firsthand how wounds can transform into life's greatest gifts when we have the resources for healing, rather than just coping—a common approach in today's world. These challenges, coupled with the work I now share, guided me back into my own sense of belonging, revealing profound and indescribable transformative possibilities at a deeply felt level. This journey involved reclaiming my body as my teacher, viewing my trauma as a compass, and recognizing past patterns of spiritually bypassing, overriding, people-pleasing, and dimming my light as sovereign opportunities for growth and empowerment.
as a mother and
former doula…
I deeply cherish nurturing life's sacredness. My philosophy and approach reflect a profound commitment to sharing insights gleaned from navigating these deeply human challenges and the transformative possibilities that emerge when we're devoted to unfolding back into our true selves. Rooted in a peaceful rebellion to re-humanize from within, I merge post-modern science with ancient practices and intuitive understanding, forging a space where practicality meets profound mental, emotional, and spiritual growth.
As I deepen my experience, I've become acutely aware of life's subtleties—how seemingly minor nuances hold profound significance. Many of these subtleties, once integral to our awareness and feeling body, have been cast aside by the inner struggles of the modern world—its relentless pace, societal pressures, and disconnect from nature. This is something I'm here to re-correct—to remind us all that there is another way.
Beyond all the wellness trends and this new age of spiritual jargon and consumerism, you deserve to reconnect with the authentic essence of your being. You deserve to experience true healing and transformation, grounded in the wisdom of your body and the depth of your soul. This journey isn't about quick fixes or superficial solutions; it's about embracing the full spectrum of your humanity and finding the profound possibilities within. Together, we can explore these subtleties and reclaim the richness of a life deeply felt and truly lived.
at the heart
of my work…
Lies a steadfast belief in the innate resilience of the human spirit and the brilliance of the universal intelligence that weaves the flesh of our bodies. I believe healing is more about remembrance and allowing than "doing" and adding more. That said, for multiple reasons, this isn't as simple and straightforward in our modern, de-natured world.
I am deeply passionate about reclaiming our bodies, relationships, and careers as safe vehicles for growth, evolution, and deeper connection with life.
Through Somatic Experiencing sessions, workshops, ceremonies, and integrative programs, I offer wisdom, methodologies, and embodiment practices that ground, transform, and awaken the Self moment to moment. Alongside education on the nervous system's foundational role in our well-being, this process heals trauma, restores resilience, and dissolves ingrained patterns that limit our capacity for intimacy with ourselves, our loved ones, the world, and our deepest work.
I love supporting the brave souls who influence others. It is through our leadership and the way we lead ourselves first in that dynamic that we can truly shape a world we want to belong to more fully.
By addressing trauma and breaking free from survival patterns…
we not only heal ourselves but also create a legacy of love, connection and resilience for future generations.
Join me on this transformative journey of self-discovery and healing. Together, let's explore the lost sacredness of simply living, reconnect with our bodies and their wisdom, and cultivate a profound sense of belonging within ourselves, our communities, and the wider world.

I HIRED ZOEY BECAUSE I WAS FINDING MYSELF FALLING INTO OLD PATTERNS OF SCARCITY AND UNWORTHINESS. I WAS TRYING TO MAKE LEAPS IN MY BUSINESS AND I KEPT HOLDING MYSELF BACK. WHILE I ONLY WORKED WITH ZOEY FOR A SHORT WHILE, MY EXPERIENCE WITH HER WAS NOTHING SHORT OF TRANSFORMATIVE. I BECAME MORE COMFORTABLE USING MY VOICE IN PUBLIC SETTINGS, ALLOWED MYSELF TO PLAY AND BE SILLY (WHICH DID WONDERS FOR MY CREATIVITY), AND ULTIMATELY GAVE MYSELF PERMISSION TO EXPRESS MY AUTHENTIC SELF. ZOEY WAS DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER COACH I'VE WORKED WITH (AND I'VE WORKED WITH MANY!) IN THAT I TRULY FELT LIKE SHE WAS MEETING ME WHERE I WAS AT INSTEAD OF TRYING TO IMPOSE HER OWN AGENDA ON ME. I LOVED THE DIFFERENT MODALITIES WE USED THAT EXTENDED FAR BEYOND TYPICAL "COACHING", AND I FELT SEEN AND UNDERSTOOD DURING EVERY SESSION. FOR ANYONE CONSIDERING WORKING WITH ZOEY, I WOULD HAVE NO HESITATIONS IN SAYING THIS WILL BE A LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE.
