ABOUT NOAH

I am a trans, white, Ashkenazi Jew of Lithuanian, Russian & Polish ancestry, living on Nipmuc & Pocumtuc land in Massachusetts. I delight in baking, dancing and weaving threads of ancestral magic through ritual.

My work is creative, curious and holds individual healing as sacredly interconnected with collective transformation. I believe accessing places & spaces of knowing, wisdom and belonging that are erased by colonialism, white supremacy, capitalism, ableism, patriarchy and more, is a key part of reclaiming wholeness and showing up to meet the present moment.

My previous work has included serving as a licensed associate mental health counselor, director for a non-profit employment services organization, coordinator for Somatic Experiencing trainings, play therapist for preschoolers, grief counselor for children, and consultant focusing on trauma resiliency and equity.
