I'm Eli (she/her); a wanderer, foodie, dancer, singer. I walk through life in a large body covered with scars. Chronic illness has been my constant companion for 25+ years. And for much of that time I have been trying to heal, to improve myself, and to find a way to somehow finally fit in.

When I discovered Unshaming, I felt like all of the distinct parts of myself started to coalesce in a way that finally made sense. I discovered hidden aspects of myself and came to realize that my illnesses actually contain a medicine for the world. Layers of body shame and self doubt have been uncovered and unshamed. I have allowed parts that got hidden deep within during early childhood trauma to step into the light. For the first time in a very long time, I feel a sense of wholeness, of rightness, in my being.  And I know I have so much inner intelligence to draw upon as this fuller, richer version of myself.

I absolutely love having the honor of guiding and witnessing others on their Unshaming journeys. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to travel along the inner paths of a person's unfolding and be there with them at the moment of discovery. And I am so inspired to behold clients as they embody the amazing aspects they uncover. To witness the bravery of my clients as they work though layers of shame and step into their power is humbling and deeply moving. 

If you have always felt out of place or wrong in the world, I see you! Folks who are ready to leap into the unknown and step into their power, I am calling you in! If you have been trying for years to heal, to improve, I am so ready to help shift that paradigm for you and help transmute those layers of shame into potent intelligence and strength. Ready to try something new, to discover what it’s like to feel embodied and vibrant in your whole being? Then let’s get started on this amazing journey together!
