Beyond the veil and


into the heart

Welcome to this space.

I come to this work with reverence for the full spectrum of being—human, relational, and spiritual. Transformation arises through compassionate presence with the parts of ourselves buried or that we often avoid. My approach integrates somatic depth, timeless contemplative wisdom, and the grounding of neuroscience and neuroplastic change, attuning to the pre-verbal seed patterns first imprinted in the body, where the ineffable roots of experience shape our inner world.

Neuroscience and trauma science are increasingly affirming what contemplative wisdom has long pointed towards, from breath to connection to presence. The split between psychology and spirituality, and between mind and body, has left psychology without depth and spirituality without grounding. My work seeks to restore these alignments and offer a new path of transformation: the way is in the mysteries of the heart.

The Cyclical Seed is a space to restore the body, reharmonize the energy of the nervous system, and grow personally, relationally, and spiritually—in New York, NY or anywhere online.

Your sense of self is shaped by a series of patterns, with parts of the psyche unconsciously or viscerally fixed in time. Let’s reclaim and repattern, bringing every part of us into the present.

Through body-heart-mind coherence, compassionate presence, and the wisdom at our seed, we can unravel the cycles that bind us, opening up to intimate connections to ourselves, others, and to life.

Peel through all the layers, connect to your own inner knowing and the bigger picture, then let what you find there pour out into every part of your life.

Personal Self |
Self-Integration

We carry many layers—inner child, parent, adult, and more. The self is a living pattern, binding us until it can unfold into something larger. Through parts and shadow work, self-trust, and nervous system repatterning, we reconnect with that unfolding. Because emotions are felt in the body before they form coherent thoughts, we work somatically—tracking sensations, feelings, and thoughts as they shift. This allows the nervous system to reharmonize, protective patterns to soften, and new space to open for who you are becoming.

Interpersonal Self |
Secure Connection

How we relate to others mirrors how we relate to ourselves. Early attachment patterns live in the body, shaping breath, posture, and nervous system responses before words ever formed. Here we gently bring awareness to those embodied strategies—avoidant, anxious, or confused—and repattern them with new experiences of safety and connection. As balance returns to the nervous system, relationships, including the one with ourselves, can feel less reactive and more authentic, rooted in trust and presence.

Transpersonal Self |
Living Wholeness

Beyond the personal, we connect with the synthesis of us that is larger than any one part and is wise, compassionate, and resilient. Awareness shifts from being caught in one part to resting in a steady center of gravity, where presence and purpose naturally unfold. This is transpersonal integration—living from wholeness rather than fragmentation. From here, life is lived more intuitively and openly, while the self is in a state of endless becoming.

Heal through mind and body. Be through heart and spirit.
