The path I walk today was not always clear or easy. My personal story has been one of survival, healing, and awakening to the many layers of my being.
As a child, sexual trauma that was hidden from those closest to me left me feeling broken, unlovable, and incapable for much of my life. These unhealed wounds manifested in various forms — panic disorders, dissociation, depression, addiction, and abusive relationships. Throughout my life, challenges, including the sudden loss of loved ones, the flooding of my home, and the subsequent diagnosis of PTSD compounded my sense of despair and displacement.
Yet, within the darkest moments, a light continued to emerge.
In 2012, a synchronistic event marked the beginning of a profound transformation. This catalyst set me on a path of deep self-discovery and healing. Over time, it guided me toward recovery from substance dependency, liberation from abusive dynamics, and healing from the unconscious patterns that had shaped my life and ways of being. Although I sought comfort in many modern therapies, something deep within me knew there was more to heal — a more expansive layer of existence that could not be addressed through conventional methods alone.
Early on, my journey back to the truth of who I am often felt impossible, with each challenge pushing me deeper into the depths of my own healing. At the height of this struggle, I was lovingly guided by my sister and the quiet call of Spirit to a sacred tea ceremony. This experience sparked a profound shift, opening the door to reclaiming my true nature. Not long after, I underwent a powerful spiritual and energetic awakening, a transformative event that would forever change my path and shift my perspectives in ways that continue to guide me.
This sacred process has humbled me and gifted me with deep compassion for all beings, a knowing of our collective sacred essence, and the understanding that all the answers we seek are already within us, no matter how far they may seem.
It is through this experience that I recognize how many others walk a similar path — often feeling lost, unsupported, or unsure of where to turn. My journey has now become the foundation of my work: a living, breathing prayer to hold space and offer the support I once needed. Through my personal healing, I have come to understand how to free myself from fear, suffering, limiting beliefs, and traumatic responses — and it is this container that I now offer to others.
I have sought guidance and wisdom from many authentic and revered teachers whose teachings have deeply inspired me. My personal path, driven by a thirst for freedom and liberation from suffering, has led me to gain wisdom through many enriching adventures around the world and introduced me to meaningful connections with kindred souls walking a similar path.
My dedication to my own healing continues to be the foundation for the work I offer. I lovingly blend experiential wisdom with formal training to create a safe space where embodied awakening and transformation can unfold. By weaving ancient practices with modern understandings, I honor the deep interplay between the seen and unseen, between the heart and the mind, and between our human and spiritual natures.
I believe that every shadow we face holds the potential for Light. Every challenge, every hardship, and every wound can ultimately transform into a gift — a gift of insight, strength, and compassion. Through my work, I offer guidance, support, and loving presence to those on their own journeys of healing, helping them reconnect with the wisdom and power that lies within.
In current times, we are all called to engage in true, authentic healing at a soul level. I invite you to join me on this journey as we reclaim all that we are, for the highest and greatest benefit of all.
