The term “Brown Heart” started out of an exchange between two friends wanting to show our support to each other in a way that didn’t need many words, but was full of compassion, meaning, understanding, and encouragement. We would send each other Brown Hearts whenever we knew the other needed an, “I see you!” or “It’s not you, it’s them!” or “you are safe and I am here for you.” All of that said with one “brown heart” emoji.

Brown Heart Wellness is wrapped in the same sentiments as the foundation of our wellness practices. It is a soft place to land, but firm enough to catch you and create some bounce back. We offer therapy services, coaching packages, both integrated with mindful movement to encourage body and mind connections.

Services

Individual Counseling

Available to clients in states where I am licensed.

At Brown Heart Wellness, our individual counseling services offer a compassionate and supportive environment for personal growth and healing. The focus is on creating a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with a professional who truly listens with a curious ear and open heart. My therapeutic approach integrates somatic therapy, restorative yoga, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to enhance the body-mind connection and promote holistic well-being.

Coaching

ROOT Coaching Series (4 Sessions)

Coaching at Brown Heart Wellness is offered in focused 4-session series grounded in the ROOT framework Reflect, Open, Overcome, Thrive. Each series is designed to support clarity, courage, and meaningful change in your current season. Together, we set goals, move through the ROOT framework, and build momentum. After completing a series, clients may choose to continue with another focused series or transition into individual support. Each coaching series is held as a supportive container for reflection, action, and accountability.

Wellness Workshops

Building community and brave spaces brings out the light in each of us. Throughout any wellness workshop or communal experience with Brown Heart Wellness, we focus on three key elements: showing up for ourselves, creating space for each other, and leaving fuller than when we came in together.
