Hello! Nice to meet you!

Here is a little background on who I am, how this work came to find me, and why I am so passionate about helping lift consciousness on Earth and heal our collective.

When I was a young baby I was a thrust into the foster care system bumping around there for years until I was adopted at the tender age of 5. As I wrote in my book The Alchemy of Kindness, “foster care in the 1980’s was a special kind of hell.” I endured unimageable abuse, abandonment, starvation, isolation, and heart-ache.

In my adoptive family, although stable; I was made to assimilate into a cultic sect of the Catholic religion that left me fractured and confused as an adult. In that experience, I would endure uncomfortable religious trauma and wounding.

Like many, I was lost inside myself for a very long time.

I had small, quiet moments of rebellion that never lasted long and it wasn’t until I was nearing my 28th year on Earth that I finally started to question everything and everyone.

I realized the life I was living wasn’t mine.

That I didn’t know who I was. I didn’t know what I wanted. And that I was living a life that mirrored everyone else’s beliefs, external pressures, and idea of who my family and the church said I should be.

My life was devoid of  joy and connection to myself and source.

The first steps into my new life were taken in a small Ashram called “Radha House” that was part of a larger organization known as Yasodhara Ashram. Yasodhara was founded by the light filled Swami Sivananda Radha.

Through Swami Radha’s teachings and books, I was able to uncover and release my own internal light that had been buried for years! This initial healing experience set me on a decades long expedition of long-term healing, integration, and cultivating internal joy, peace, and self-harmony.

I spent the next decade studying Eastern Religions, Philosophy, Meditation, and Psychology. My self-education was fueled by a desire to reconnect all the parts of myself that became disconnected during my childhood and young adult years.

I traveled the world to places like Bali, Denmark, Costa Rica, and Kauai in search of solitude, stillness and sacredness. I wanted to sit quietly with myself and hear what my heart and soul had to say about what was unfolding. I discovered a profound connection in nature that tethered me to myself and source.

Inner healing finally came to pass and I am a completely whole inside myself, now delightfully untouched by internal confusion and separation, self-doubt, insecurity, or pain.

This healing became a doorway I walked through where all my dreams could be realized, where nothing could get in the way of me achieving what I craved most in my human experience. At the end of my decades long journey I knew I’d achieved the wisdom I sought and would spend the rest of my life giving it away, sharing it with others, and ensuring every person around me was liberated from their past so they could live a full life.

The wisdom of my own lived experience has taught me that in order to achieve true liberation, we must first understand that we are birthed into existence as free beings. Our true nature is to be free from anything that separates us from ourselves.

Our gift is our own autonomy.

Our purpose is love. Beginning with ourselves.

Our daily practice is relational compassion.

Everything you need to heal is already within you—I am simply here to hold your hand as we walk together uncovering and revealing what is underneath your past traumas, heartaches, losses, personal blocks, old stories, and anything that keeps you disempowered and in a state of victimhood.

There is no more loving gesture than to say, I require healing and I am ready to heal.
