Welcome!
I’m glad to connect with you! I’m Hilary.
I’m honored that you’re here and curious to learn more. I call myself a healing arts community minister, somatic therapist & educator. I help people remember their bodies and their true nature in connection with all of life. I guide us through the pain of disconnection or trauma back into connection with awareness, movement, sounding, touch and breath. And I support people to honor their full experience as humans who are connected from Earth to the Cosmos and are able to share what is emerging from in between. As we share we heal and grow together with the community of life.
I offer one-one sessions, group spaces and healing products to support our deepening and growth into who we are called to be together.
My Offerings

We will be using our bodies, our breath, our knowing and our expression as our guides to awaken latent wisdom that can offer us greater resource. Learn more.
Ritual Guidance
Ritual is the practice of transformation from one state to another which can be an aspect of ceremony. Ceremony is reverently honoring and re-membering the natural web of life. The root of the word ceremony is “sacred” and so we are returning to the sacredness of life through this often more communal practice. Learn more.
She is a true empathetic healer. I travel almost 3 hours back and forth for my appointment and well worth it. The healing takes place for me by just being in her presence. She works well with what I tell her other therapists have said. Hilary is so open and listens and truly hears feelings and sentiments.
I find her voice when she chants mantras to be very healing to my body, mind and soul and particularly my heart. Thank you Hilary for giving me hope.
