Hello & welcome!
I’m Meredith.
I believe that vulnerability takes incredible courage. That mindfulness and self-compassion are paramount in cultivating meaningful change. And that we are all doing the best we can, at any given moment, with what we have developed and what we have been given.
I am a seer and a seeker. A profoundly deep-feeling human with a hyper-analytical mind. An astrologer. A mindfulness practitioner. An educator. A daughter, a sister, an ancestor, a friend.
I am an activator of consciousness; a compassionate mirror; a conduit of healing.
I grew up in Los Angeles, CA. With a background in contemporary art, holistic nutrition, teaching and writing, I have lived what feels like many lives. Being confronted by darkness within myself throughout these professional eras—via extreme sensitivity, enveloping heartbreak, disordered relationships with food, and trauma—led me down a decade-long path of internal inquiry, therapy, spiritual seeking and transformation. Through these often eviscerating and unrelenting portals, I have gained both a reservoir of tools for healing and a rootedness in Self that I never imagined possible.
It is my wish to extend the container for healing to those who find themselves in similar struggles. Who feel both like they are too much for this world and that the world is not set up to receive and love them.
Studying astrology changed my life. Learning about being a Highly Sensitive Person changed my life. These modalities provide lexicons that expand our abilities to be in compassionate and conscious relationship with ourselves, our needs, our behaviors, and our unique life challenges.
Somatic (body-based) practices—including breathwork, sensory awareness, body dialogue, and intuitive movement practices—have also changed my life. The mind is a magnificent and vastly important facet of our being, and…it can only take us so far. Stress, painful emotions, and trauma all get physically lodged in the body in ways that can generate physical illness and keep us trapped in survival responses that thwart our thriving. The only way to truly shift and release them is to drop the mind and tap into the innate intelligence that lies within the vessels that carry us through the world, the containers of flesh and bone that allow us to live these devastatingly beautiful and relentlessly humbling lives.
It is through the weaving of somatic practices, mindfulness, cognitive inquiry, and astrology that I find healing most powerfully and effectively happens. Drawing upon my varied expertise, I guide people in cultivating bodily awareness, regulating the nervous system, shifting internal thought patterns, identifying core wounds and self-protective coping mechanisms, and living into more compassionate, aligned, and self-loving ways of being.
I am rooted in the beautiful mountains of Asheville, NC. I work with clients both in person in Asheville and via online sessions.
