I'm a somatic coach supporting individuals and couples in coming home to their bodies. My work sits at the intersection of nervous system literacy, attachment-informed practice, and embodied inquiry — drawing on Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, and polyvagal theory. Clients come to me at transitions: after a breakup, before a wedding, through burnout, during a re-patterning of how they love. Sessions are slow, curious, and tracked in the body. We listen for what the tissues already know.

“I came in wanting to 'get over' a breakup. Iris gently refused that framing and invited me into something much more interesting. I am more at home in myself than I've ever been.”

“As a therapist myself, I know how rare it is to find someone who can work at this depth without performing it. Iris is the real thing.”
