WHO I AM AND WHAT I DO
I am a woman who is devoted to wholeness.
I define wholeness as having enough presence and capacity to access all of our senses. This may sound easy, but most of us have a hard time with this. This presence of awareness invites a sense of belonging, a recognition that you hold a precious place in this world that would not be the same without you.
I am also a woman who is devoted to personal evolution.
My drive toward self-healing started young. My early childhood experiences were not easy. Divorce and abuse shaped some of my earliest memories. This was the backdrop to my first sexual experience that happened far too early. It was traumatic, nonconsensual, and isolating. I held it in and told no one. This led to a long list of painful experiences that shaped my sense of self. Disordered eating, self-loathing, and shame were regular companions. I chose unsafe relationships with angry men and had a short stint with drug addiction, all before 23.
Pain is a powerful motivator, and I started meditating in my mid 20's to help find some sense of balance. This helped, but the echoes of grief and shame plagued me. I felt woefully broken and riddled with despair and did everything in my power to hide it.
I came to Kundalini Yoga at 27 when I was pregnant with my first child. This was a life-changer. Kundalini Yoga's technology introduced me to the body's systems and illuminated a pathway for me to go deep into these systems and transform my inner experiences.
I have practiced inner alchemy for many years and have studied many modalities that have shaped my unique approach to whole-body awareness and transformation.
Over the last several years, I have woven synthesis of awareness practices, communication tools, and body connections borrowed from the many traditions I’ve studied. These tools have served me well, and it brings me great joy to share these findings with others.
My most recent education has shifted the way I help others.
One of the most valuable assets I've acquired as a practitioner has been to understand the importance of energy regulation and the role it plays in our embodiment. Embodiment is the first step toward all the evolutionary work I do. By teaching people to work with the energy of emotions, and not simply the emotions themselves, we can get to the root of the challenge without having to spend time dissecting the content.
I help people understand how to access the subtle or energetic, the physical or body-based, in order to experience themselves from a broader spectrum of awareness. From here, you can develop a lived system that keeps your body and being in wholeness and harmony.

What people say.
"Victoria has a sense of receptivity that allows her to see and receive large vistas of information directly through her heart and because of this her response to life and those around her has the essence of compassion and openness. I appreciate her ability to grasp detail, understand systems, and integrate different threads of information into a tapestry of knowing. Her groundedness and generosity of spirit naturally put others at ease, and she carries an inner warrior that always does the right thing"
-Chitra Gaiuque
“Victoria has a gift for identifying the stories we tell about ourselves and our relationships, and she has the grace to help us see through those stories to a truth from which we can heal. She helped me re-access a deep well of joy I had started to deny myself. She effuses nurturing and empathetic energy, boundless positivity, and a sense of curiosity that is as contagious as it is fun.”
Jon Burroughs
"Victoria has helped me to navigate several pathways to increase my knowledge about the spiritual and sensual aspects of my sexuality, even at age 66. She has helped me to improve the levels of intimacy I share with my loving girlfriend and I am forever grateful. Victoria is an amazing guide and her masterful abilities as a teacher cannot be overstated."
Hank W
"Within just a few months of working with Victoria, I started seeing a change in my relationship dynamics that I never thought possible. Not only in romantic relationships, but I’ve also become a far more effective communicator in all of my interactions.
Victoria has taught me to tune into my body, to find my “Yes,” as a way of determining what is my authentic desire in comparison to what I think I “should” do to meet others’ expectations."
