You’ve Been Searching Everywhere.
You Finally Found Someone Who Truly Gets It.
Some women are portals. Some women are bridges. Some women are the medicine itself.
Phaedra is one of those women. She doesn’t just “apply techniques” — she carries a lived understanding of pain, trauma, and nervous system healing that can’t be taught in a textbook or captured in a certificate. She is the go-to expert when you’ve tried everything else and still feel stuck, still hurting, still searching for the way through.
As an Occupational Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and Coach with over 25 years of experience, Phaedra teaches her clients to overcome the challenges of physical and emotional pain, trauma, stress (and even a life that just doesn’t seem to be working).
She’s asking the questions most other practitioners aren’t asking in order to uncover what’s hiding underneath your pain.
The Day Everything Changed…
One ordinary day in August 2008, after a great day at work, Phaedra started driving home and never made it to her front door.
She woke up in a hospital bed, coming out of a coma, and was told she’d survived a rollover car accident that shattered her body and changed the course of her life. There were multiple injuries, a long road of rehabilitation, and a future that suddenly looked nothing like what she had planned. Her mind survived. Her spirit survived. But her body still remembered.
She spent over a year in intense physical therapy, seeking out every possible treatment that might help her reclaim her life. Some of those approaches created profound shifts, showing her that the body holds both pain and possibility. That season of being “broken so bad” gave her something she could never have learned any other way: a deep, embodied knowing of what it means to hurt, to fight, to doubt, and to slowly, miraculously, heal.
She immersed herself in learning the powerful technique of the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach®, and worked with Dr. Peter Levine using The Somatic Experiencing® method.
Phaedra was given a gift that day. She now can fully understand her clients’ emotional and physical pain and suffering. Phaedra has been there in her own suffering and victoriously overcame her injuries.
Walking Beside You, Not Ahead Of You
Today, Phaedra works with clients locally and around the world through virtual sessions, weaving nervous system regulation, myofascial release, somatic experiencing, movement, and practical coaching into a deeply personal healing process.
She is committed to excellent 1:1 care — attuned, present, and honest. In her space, you are never “too much,” never “too complicated,” and never a lost cause. There is always another layer of safety, ease, and possibility available in your system, and her work is about helping you reach it, gently and steadily.
If you’ve been broken in ways you don’t know how to explain… if your body remembers what your mind can’t quite put into words… if you’re ready for support from someone who has actually been in the dark and found her way back:
You’re in the right place.
She Is Not Just A Practitioner. She Is The Work.
Phaedra doesn’t “do” a technique at you. She meets you with a presence that feels like someone finally sees behind your symptoms.
She doesn’t “just coach” - she guides from an inner landscape carved by trauma, recovery, shadow work, and soul-deep initiations. She doesn’t “just mentor” - she midwifes transformations simply by being who she is: a woman who has gone to the edge, come back with gifts, and devoted her life to using them in service of others.
People often describe feeling deeply seen and understood in her presence - like someone finally “gets” what they’ve been trying to explain, even without many words. Her work is grounded in proven methods, but not limited by them, allowing each session to be responsive, honest, and uniquely tailored to what your body and story actually need.
Why She’s The Go-To When You’ve Tried Everything
You find your way to Phaedra when:
You’ve “done all the things” — talk therapy, bodywork, stretching, meditation — and still feel trapped in pain, anxiety, or shutdown.
You’re tired of being treated like a diagnosis instead of a whole human with a story.
You sense that your body is holding onto something no one has fully understood yet.
Phaedra knows and feels things that many practitioners have never seen up close. She has lived inside a body that felt broken, terrified, and tired of fighting. She has also lived the reality of repair — not perfect, not linear, but real. This is why she’s the one people call after the other approaches haven’t gone far enough.
Phaedra lives for the moment when your body finally softens — when the hurt that’s followed you for years starts to lift, and you realize relief is possible. She pours everything into 1:1 care that’s deeply personal, relentlessly attentive, and designed to get you real, lasting results — no matter how long you’ve been hurting or how much you’ve already tried.
