THE PERSON BEHIND THE PRACTICE
A litigator.
An opera singer.
A clinical hypnotist.
Three careers built on the same craft: the precision of the voice, and knowing how to use it.
I was high-functioning and quietly coming apart.
File a brief. Rush to the subway. Worrying the whole way that I’d missed a typo. Get to my voice lesson with two minutes to catch my breath before an hour of singing — on a Friday evening, after a 60-hour work week.
Saturday morning, I was back at Don't Tell Mama, prepping for my debut cabaret show.
Lawyer by day, singer by night. Sounds like a dream. But my body couldn't keep up. And I refused to listen.
I tried everything. Diet, routines, blowing up my life, pushing through. And I always ended in the same place: collapse and shutdown. The first: mono and pneumonia at the same time. The second: an autoimmune diagnosis, celiac disease. The third: two herniated discs.
The third recovery was different. It started with 100 days straight of yoga nidra for pain relief. Then clinical hypnosis, breathwork, and sound to break the pattern. To finally create lasting change. Now the work is directly integrated into my celiac management: for the anxiety before my iron infusions, for the flare I didn't see coming, for the exhaustion of explaining a condition most people can't see. Alongside the care I'm already receiving.
I built The Good Muck because I know what it’s like to be high-achieving, and to not know when to stop. To recognize the pattern and keep doing it anyway.
I also know what it's like to manage a diagnosis that doesn't go away: the flares, the procedures, the explaining yourself to people who've never lived it. If that's you, you're working with someone who's lived it too.
(Mostly) virtual by design. Because sometimes it takes all the energy you have to simply lie down and listen. And that is enough.

Who This Is For - Pattern change
You're perceptive. You know yourself well. You've probably already done real work to change. Read the books, hired the coach, taken the classes, listened to the podcasts.
And something is still stuck.
Your insight, your intellect, your analysis of yourself lives in the conscious mind.
The patterns you want to change live in the subconscious.
That's where we go at The Good Muck.
Every word, every suggestion: an invitation — to go wherever you need to go. To see whatever you need to see.
Who This Is For - medical support
What you want is concrete. Less pain. Less worry before a procedure. Less disrupted sleep. A faster recovery. More freedom. More lightness. More days where you don't even have to think about your condition.
Maybe you found this on your own or someone trusted sent you here. Perhaps you're a bit skeptical. You've tried all the things only to wind up disappointed. Or maybe you've done the research and know and trust already that this work can help. Wherever you are is perfectly okay.
We start with where you are. And go from there.
Clinical hypnosis, breathwork, sound, and yoga nidra, alongside the care you're already receiving.
