Hi, I’m Trish

I’m a mirror, not a guru. I believe in telling the truth, with love and that personal responsibility is a source of power. I believe authenticity is a practiced skill, not a vibe and the nervous system is information, not identity. You won’t find spiritual glitter or faux-soothing here. I'm here to help you break through the bullsh*t and change your life.

My Story

I’ve always been able to feel what was happening underneath the words. I didn’t have language for that then, I just knew I wasn’t built to pretend. Over time, humor became one of the ways I learned to tell the truth without getting crushed by it.

As an adult, working in bars taught me how people try to regulate themselves through something external—belonging, numbing, distraction. Later, running a gym showed me the same pattern in a different costume: discipline, control, transformation as a way to earn worth. That was when I started to see clearly that no amount of external change can fix the relationship with yourself.

In 2016, my own identity cracked open. The gym I had poured everything into fell apart, and with it went my confidence, stability, and sense of safety. That collapse forced me into the deeper work. I found what I hadn’t found in years of talk-based spaces: somatics, breathwork, nervous system literacy, and a whole-human framework that actually changed how I lived.

I didn’t come to this work by way of self-help books and retreats. I came to it because I had to learn how to thrive inside my own skin. Now I help other people do the same: find their patterns, speak their truth, build self-trust and create their version of a bad-ass life.

My Philosophies

  • People aren’t suffering because they’re “broken.” They’re suffering because they don’t know how to be true to themselves in a world that rewards performance, numbing, and disconnection.

  • If you’re growing, you’re healing. If you consciously choose your gear—sifting or shifting—you don’t get stuck in an endless loop of “processing” that never becomes a life.

  • The unlock is taking ownership and having the courage to look at what’s under the tough stuff.

  • It disarms shame, cuts through denial, and makes the truth survivable—so you can actually integrate it.

  • Trauma isn’t what’s keeping you stuck—your story is. When you translate the nervous system as data, you can work with it.

What Change Looks Like

I don't deal in before-and-after photos or highlight reels. What I care about is the shift that happens underneath — the one that makes everything else possible. There’s nothing that lights me up more.

Here are a few people who know what I mean.

  • "She had been in therapy for years — she understood her story — but she couldn't see herself any differently."

    Laura came to me in the middle of COVID, crying through our entire first Zoom call. Her sense of self was almost nonexistent. Over time, that changed. She began to trust herself in ways she never had before. Today she's moved across the world and is building a life in New Zealand entirely on her own terms.

  • "She was capable — but stuck in a version of herself that felt small and limited."

    Lena was juggling multiple jobs, driving hours a day just to stay afloat. What shifted wasn't her circumstances first — it was how she saw herself. Once that expanded, her options did too. She went to graduate school, became a social worker, moved to Colorado, and got married. She built a life that actually fits her.

  • "If he kept going the way he was, I wasn't sure he'd make it."

    Nathan used to come into the bar where I worked. I knew him before I ever worked with him, and I watched him struggle for years. By the time we started working together, he had three years of sobriety — but there were still deeper layers to unpack. Today he's one of the most trusted construction team leaders in his town. He's quadrupled his income. More importantly, he's stable, grounded, and genuinely his own.

I've worked with those navigating grief, motherhood, divorce, debt, career changes, and rebuilding after losing everything. I've also watched clients start businesses, repair relationships, and completely change the trajectory of their lives.

Not because they found a better strategy — but because they finally learned to see themselves differently. Once that shifts, everything else follows.
