Welcome, I’m Roe.

I’m a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, a parent, a trans person, and a human, just like you.

I think you’re rad. I think it’s hard out here. And I believe healing is possible. That it’s a messy, slow process that doesn’t require you to be fixed or tidy to be worthy of care.

I came to this work through rupture. Through years of overwhelming body dysmorphia, long nights in the hospital as a labor nurse, a marriage that looked right but felt wrong, and a body that kept breaking the silence. Through somatic work, ceremony, pelvic floor therapy, and the wild grace of queer love, I started the process of untethering from what no longer fit. I gave birth. I got pregnant again. I got divorced. I picked up the bones of a life that could actually hold me. I bought a farm, leaned deeper into the study of medicine and somatics. And somewhere in the thick of it, I met myself, grief-slick, laugh-wild, angry and vital, and began practicing care from that place.

So if you’re standing at a threshold, wondering if you can bear what your body already knows, if you can speak the truth you’ve buried, if you’re allowed to want something more alive, I want you to know: I’ve been there. I won’t flinch. If you are grieving a life that is too small, reckoning with what you inherited or internalized, and choosing to come home to yourself, this practice is for you. 



Outside of session, Kate and I delight in our other ventures: turning quack grass into blooms through Flower Bandit - named in honor of our queer love for each other and the earth. And most adoringly, raising our two wild, brilliant children, who remind us daily to live in a fierce stream of consciousness.

Hi, my name is Kate.

I’m a grief tender, somatics practitioner, and bodyworker. Raised in a family shaped by addiction, I walked with death from a young age. I know what it feels like when grief bottled becomes cement in the chest, when grief moved brings a clarity that gives flight. Since that young age, I have offered my hands to support freedom. To help the body shake, find sound, and settle.

My somatic work began in yoga, because the practice of attending to my body gave me ground, gave me sanity. Gave me ways to move what didn’t have and couldn’t be righted with words. In bodywork I first studied Thai massage, which taught me how to move lines of energy in the body, how to listen to the palms of the feet to find what is stuck in the abdomen, to hear what pulls from the knee into the neck. I offered this bodywork as a doula. Having come to know death in my family, I began supporting others in the process of grieving and laying their loved ones to rest. As death is charged with life and as birth dances with loss, I learned alongside skilled midwives to attend to birth and the rich mess of postpartum time.

After receiving a session of somatic pelvic floor therapy, I accessed healing that I thought might never be possible for my body. I enrolled in mentorship immediately, where I apprenticed to the technologies of somatic abdominal and pelvic work. This work is naturally of direct service to clients in conception, pregnancy, postpartum and pregnancy loss. It also offers unique medicine to those who have experienced sexual or gender violence, re-establishing safety, agency, and sensation in the pelvis.

The intention of this work is simple: to return to a site of harm (loss, violation, hurt) and offer repair (tissue repair, structural realignment, therapeutic attention).

It has been a gift to accompany fellow queer and trans clients in gender-liberatory repair, a kind of bodywork that time travels and reorganizes the nervous system around the current well self, recovering consent, dignity, and joy. This work is about aliveness, and refusing the systems that taught us we weren’t worthy of celebration.

I work with people whose connection to their body has been frayed, through harm, departure, survival. I make space: holding your feet, softening the fascia at the base of your skull, guiding your awareness into the sensation in your belly. There, you might find the child of you—panicking, punished, still waiting. We invite them home. You bring them into your arms, into everything you know now. The manual therapy I offer allows your system to rearrange. Your body knows how to do this.

We offer this practice toward a world of people remembered to their safe, free, well bodies.
