A home for the practice of relationship.
To ourselves.
To one another.
To the body.
To family.
To love.
To reality.
Acacia Love was born from a simple question:
How do we come into right relationship with reality?
The Vision
the work
Through somatic psychotherapy, OT, yoga, birth work, tea ceremony, and contemplative practice, I accompany individuals, couples and families through life's initiations.
The initiations of relationship.
The initiations of birth.
The initiations of grief.
The initiations of becoming.
This work is rooted in the understanding that healing is not the avoidance of reality, but an ever-deepening intimacy with it.
The Alchemy of Love
“You come to us from another world, from beyond the stars and void of space.
Transcendent, pure, of unimaginable beauty,
bringing with you the essence of love,
you transform all who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns, troubles, and sorrows dissolve in your presence,
bringing joy to ruler and ruled, to peasant and king,
you bewilder us with your grace.
All evils transform into goodness.
You are the Master Alchemist!
You light the fire of love in earth and sky,
in heart and soul of every being.
Through your love, existence and nonexistence merge.
All opposites unite -
All that is profane becomes sacred again.”
― Rumi

My path has always been an exploration of relationship.
As the eldest of six sisters, family was my first teacher. Through a life woven across continents, cultures and communities, I became fascinated by the ways we come to know ourselves through one another.
This curiosity led me into the study of occupational therapy, somatic psychotherapy, yoga and birth work. While these paths may appear different, each has deepened the same inquiry:
How do we come into right relationship with ourselves, with one another, and with life itself?
For more than a decade I have accompanied children, families, couples and individuals through seasons of change, healing and becoming. My work is informed by evidence-based practice, embodied wisdom traditions and a lifelong devotion to understanding what it means to be fully human.
Alongside my clinical work, I am a writer, poet and student of the contemplative traditions. These teachings continue to shape my understanding that healing is often less about fixing ourselves and more about learning how to meet reality with presence, compassion and love.
