ABOUT ME

Hello and welcome love! I’m Waverly, a trauma-informed facilitator and multidimensional mother. My work weaves together sacred space, sound, and somatics.

My professional bio, education, and training are midway down this page.

A bit more about my story — My husband, twins, and I live and steward land in the mountains outside of Charlottesville, Virginia on unceded Monacan territory. My pronouns are she/her and I’m of Sicilian, Italian, and Scottish ancestry. My work is rooted in my values of presence, integrity, compassion, reciprocity and benefit sharing, authenticity, responsibility, creativity, and collaboration. I’m a member of the Native American Church and regularly attend indigenous-led Lakota Inipi Ceremonies (sweat lodges).

I’m soon beginning the 3-year Somatic Experiencing practitioner trauma resolution training and am also a graduate of Linda Thai’s Certificate in Somatic Embodiment and Regulation Strategies and Charlotte James’ and Sara Reed’s Liberation Training program focused on decolonization and collective liberation.

My spiral journey into myself began with the pregnancy and birth of my twins, Matilda and Rhodes, in 2015. During my postpartum time, I was searching for stillness, a way to slow down, a place to connect with and find myself again. This longing led me to my first sound baths, plant medicine, ceremonies of many forms, teachers from all over the world, and started my path of self-discovery and healing.

I’m a Virgo Sun, Cancer Moon, Gemini Rising, and a 2/4 Manifesting Generator. My wild wonder twins are Gemini Suns — when they were in my womb I told them if they stayed until Gemini season we’d take them to the beach every summer for their birthday because how cool to bring Gemini twins into this world — they did and so we head to the beach every summer to celebrate their birthday!

I’m glad you’re here, thanks for reading a bit of my story — reach out and say hey if you’d like 💗
