I’m Brooke, and I’ve lived about eighteen lives.

My story began with loss and with it, an early awareness of how quickly identity can be shaped by what’s missing, by what’s expected, by what feels unsafe to fully express. I learned young how to adapt. How to read a room. How to become what was needed. For a long time, I lived inside those boxes.

Theater became an early outlet, a place where I could stretch, feel, express what didn’t have space elsewhere. And later, working with teenagers became an unexpected calling. For years, I walked alongside teenagers as they wrestled with who they were becoming, holding space for their questions, their doubt, their becoming — while quietly navigating my own.

In my next season of life, I worked as a hairstylist and makeup artist, standing with people in some of the most vulnerable, transitional moments of their lives. There’s something sacred about being with someone as they prepare to be seen in those big life shifts. I was drawn again and again to those threshold spaces, where identity softens and reshapes.

Even then, I could feel it, the tension between who we’re told to be and what’s actually true in our bodies.

Fostering siblings deepened that awareness in a way nothing else could. It changed me. It taught me how to become a safe place in the middle of someone else’s storm; how to hold chaos, grief, and complexity without turning away. And it also showed me, very clearly, how often traditional systems, including therapy, miss what the body is carrying. The behaviors made sense when you listened differently.

That realization is what brought me back to school. I wanted to become the kind of therapist I couldn’t find: the kind that doesn’t just listen to words, but to the nervous system, to the unspoken, to the story underneath the story.

And then came a chapter of my life that, on the outside, looked very defined: living in a religious environment, a world that felt impossibly contained. Clear roles. Clear expectations. Very little room for nuance or questioning.

But even there, I couldn’t help myself.

I pushed edges. I asked questions. I reached for something wider, more honest, more embodied than what I had been handed, and I left.

Because underneath all of it, I was still learning how to come home to myself.

The shift didn’t happen all at once. It was gradual. Sometimes uncomfortable. A steady unraveling of the ways I had learned to perform, to conform, to disconnect.

And in its place, something else began to emerge.

More presence.
More openness.
More trust in my own internal knowing.

Less living from expectation and more from embodiment.

Now, everything I do is shaped by that journey. Not from a place of having it all figured out, but from knowing what it’s like to live inside constraints and what it takes to step outside of them.

I’ve never known how to stay small.

Then everything shifted again.

After nine years of infertility, my son, Sawyer, was stillborn. That loss pulled me into the world of perinatal grief, a world I now fiercely advocate within. I’ve created programs, co-led intensives, and held space for couples and women rebuilding themselves in the aftermath of heartbreak.

Along the way, I found experiential therapy and psychodrama, work that pulls people out of their heads and into deep, cellular-level change. Fast. Honest. Transformational.

Today, I help people, especially helpers, leaders, and women who look “fine” on the outside, stop abandoning themselves.

So many are afraid to reach for great when their life is already “good.” But your body always knows when you’re off your path.

My work is about helping you hear that truth, trust it, and come home to yourself, in grief, in growth, and in reinvention.

Because choosing yourself, even when it’s terrifying, is always the beginning of something real.
