I provide one-on-one personal and partner training via video session. Since I began my training career, I have practiced in ways that align with HAES and trauma-informed principles.

I am based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My base rate is listed on my website, and I am able to see some clients on a sliding scale. I am more than happy to have conversations with folks to help answer questions even if training is not in their budget!
