I believe that with the right healing tools, you can thrive beyond your wildest dreams.
My story is one of finding purpose in the midst of deep pain, tragedy, and grief—a story of the impact of complex trauma and finding the right tools to heal.
As a child, I survived the chaos of abuse and neglect. These experiences cast a long shadow on me—leading to severe depression and anxiety.
Life continued to deal its harsh blows, each leaving scars etched into my story. At 22, I mourned the loss of my best friend when she passed suddenly in a car accident. And then, at 24, I found myself navigating life as a widow when my fiancè passed away tragically in a car accident.
The weight of grief and loss was unbearable. I had a foundation of pain that was just compounding year after year.
It culminated in a desperate moment; at 29, I was on the brink of ending it all. I survived a suicide attempt.
In total, I spent fifteen years in therapy. Despite progress, a sense of emptiness always lingered. I felt lost and alone, destined always to feel disconnected from others. My life was filled with toxic relationships; every day, I faced chronic illness and chronic pain.
Despite my hardships, I did have success in the corporate world. Being a high-achiever set the stage for my career success. Yet, I constantly battled a relentless imposter syndrome, haunted by the fear of being exposed as unworthy.
At age 37, my life hit bottom when I was diagnosed with a neurological disability caused by trauma. I lost my career, my house, my car; I was essentially bedridden and unable to care for myself. I was forced to decide what I wanted for my life.
I decided I wanted to live, and I would find a way to heal.
That’s when I discovered a holistic approach to trauma healing. With each healing step, I reclaimed fragments of myself, piecing together the life I have always dreamed of—one of resilience, happiness, and inner peace.
With gratitude and strength in my heart, I stand as living proof that no matter the depth of despair, there is always a path to reclaiming your life.
My Passion
I am passionate about living life to the fullest, spiritual growth, and learning as much as possible along the way, and serving. I love strategy and problem-solving.
My Favorite things
I love reading, learning, and traveling. I am a big fan of The Office, 80s movies, and comedy. I feel most at home by the ocean and I dream of traveling the globe.
I aim to
Show up in life authentically with strength and vulnerability. My hope is that I can inspire other women to do the same.
my go-to healing tools
I love bilateral stimulation for stress release and emotional processing. You may periodically see me tapping when I need a little nervous system regulation.
My story demonstrates the devastating impact of emotional trauma on the body, and it's a testament to the transformative power of holistic trauma healing.
Year after year, my mental and physical health deteriorated. I found myself dismissed by doctors who insisted that “everything is fine,” leaving me feeling invalidated and unheard.
I spent years desperate for answers, and it took decades for me to realize the glaring gap in trauma-informed healing.
Once the scattered puzzle pieces came together, I was determined to help make the journey easier for others facing similar challenges.
I reclaimed my life, my health, and my happiness

My goal is to help you heal your physical Body, so you can Connect with your higher self, Feel more Joy, & Embrace your Spiritual Truth

Every single human being has the potential to feel the fullest expression of self in this world. And that comes when you can break free from the physical limitations that may be trapped in your body.
I would love to help you reconnect with your higher self and create a life full of love, joy, and success.
