My training is interdisciplinary and lineage-based.

I was raised in the Ciudad Juárez–El Paso desert borderland, a place where categories blur and contradictions are ordinary. Living between cultures, languages, and moral systems taught me early that power is not abstract, that safety is negotiated moment by moment, and that beauty and joy often emerge from careful attention rather than force or neglect. This sensibility continues to guide my work.

I pay attention to the thresholds where awareness refines, consent becomes meaningful, and desire deepens or dissolves. I am interested in how people learn to stay with experience without overriding themselves or performing an outcome.

I move between body-based art and somatic education. These are not separate for me. Art asks for risk, trust, and vulnerability. Education asks for clarity, pacing, and responsibility. Both require listening. Both require discipline and play.

Many people who come to my work are highly sensitive, perceptive, and capable. Desire may feel compelling while difficult to approach without control or shame. Rather than aiming for release, transformation, or catharsis, I focus on learning how to be in relationship with sensation, choice, and meaning. Slowly. With curiosity.

My training is interdisciplinary and lineage-based. I came into this work through the arts, with early training in psychology and fine art, and am shaped most deeply through sustained study of Butoh and Noguchi Taiso. These movement lineages teach me how to listen to gravity, work with subtle force, and let movement emerge through presence.

Most of what taught me this work will never appear on a certificate. A decade of Butoh under teachers who each carry it differently — Yumiko Yoshioka, Minako Seki, Tadashi Endo, Yuko Kaseki, Mari Osanai, Natsu Nakajima, Joan Laage, Ken Mai, Diego Piñón, Atsushi Takenouchi, Michael Sakamoto, Vangeline Theater. Noguchi Taiso, which teaches the body to move as water moves. Zen Mountain Monastery since 2018, under Jody Hojin Kimmel Sensei.

Named teachers, over years, in rooms. That is where this comes from.

I am certified in Sexological Bodywork and consent-based facilitation, with additional training in Holistic Pelvic Care™, nervous system–informed embodiment, and Japanese somatic methods. Currently a student of Chinese Medicine and Zen Shiatsu, where attention to rhythm, pressure, and relationship is central.

Fundamentally, I am a Zen student. This tradition informs how I embody attention, ethics, and limits, especially in spaces involving intimacy, power, and vulnerability. I am less interested in answers than in how one lives the question.

Sessions are personalized to meet the specific needs of clients. They are experiential and consent-based, shaped by movement, breath, awareness, dialogue, and touch.
