For much of my life, I learned to survive by silencing myself (and entertaining others). I earned the degrees, built the career, got married, bought the house, and worked relentlessly. On the outside, I looked successful. On the inside, I was exhausted, angry, disconnected, and truly unfulfilled.

I lived in a constant state of pushing forward, seven days a week for years, while ignoring my body and inner world because I didn’t know another way. My health reflected that disconnection. I was over exerted, resentful, and withdrawing from my own life. Eventually, the cost became too high to ignore.

So what did I do? I chose myself for the first time in my life. I left an unhealthy marriage, lived on my own for the first time, and began the uncomfortable, self-reflecting work.

That choice marked the beginning of a 10-year reclamation. I worked with dozens of therapists, doctors, even healers. This aided me in cultivating what I bring to you today. Working with me gives you the chance to learn what will actually help you feel safe, regulated, and alive in your body, in a fraction of the time. What I wanted most during that time was someone who had been in my shoes and had not only survived, but evolved. Someone who could say, “I know this path. Take my hand.”
