Hi, I’m Arielle.
I am a Mother, Educator, Somatic Practitioner and Guide who supports individuals and groups to move out of survival and into Thriving Life.
With a specialty in nervous system resilience and trauma healing, my work helps people integrate limiting experiences and deepen into connection with their authentic self.
Since my early 20’s I’ve been devoted to living the path of transformation. Through this journey, I have experienced profound mystical experiences, lifelong dreams coming to reality, and significant personal healing. Despite a devoted spiritual practice, a successful and well respected academic career and the family I’d always dreamed of, I found myself deeply lost and unsure of my place in this world. I was yearning for a true initiation. The most profound shift in my life occurred when I expanded my focus from only looking towards the light, and finally became willing to descend into the darkness of my own shadow. I began to heal my own reactive nervous system, cultivating a felt sense of safety and belonging. And through my own soul initiation and descent into the underworld, I confronted my core wound and alchemized the most painful experiences of my life into medicine to bring to the world. Read more about my journey here.
When we heal our own wounds, they transform. And through this process we build our capacity to hold others in their darkness and healing. As I see it, this is our greatest work on the planet right now.
My work in trauma healing and holistic family care is an offering that emerged out of my own soul journey and lived experience. It is a heartfelt contribution to our collective healing and to future generations that may embody our innate blueprint as a dignified expression of Thriving Life.
My life and work is informed by my own transformational journey, my professional training in Somatic Experiencing, and the work I’ve done with important teachers, mentors and guides including Starlight Leadership, Rachelle Garcia Seliga of INNATE Traditions, and the Conscious Leadership Group.
I live with my beloved family in the Colorado foothills, navigating life as an undomesticated wife and mother. I spend my days in pursuit of greater aliveness, compassion and healing. I am deeply in love with learning in all forms - reading, seeking, and experimenting with life through my own lived experience. When I am not working with clients and groups, my days are mostly filled with tending to my family, nourishing myself and my family with food as medicine, and anchoring my body on the Earth and my face in the sun while my children play around me.
