If you’re looking for support and resources to help integrate the Biodynamic work, I have compiled this page to help. I believe that the ultimate resource is found within, by simply being and feeling our BODY in its fullness.

Below is a running compilation of people and work that inspire my practice. They offer perspectives and guidance on health, self exploration, trauma healing, neuroscience, embodiment, and some are simply fun and joyful trinkets. May they inspire the light of your heart to receive love even more fully!
