My story

My spiritual path began in 2017, when I was turning 30, suffering from anxiety that left me drinking multiple bottles of wine a night and at a loss to the direction of where my life was meant to go. It was NOT a pretty look, it definitely was a pretty mess. In the span of that year, I was forced out of my teaching career -which was my identity- my boyfriend, who I wanted to marry, broke up with me triggering panic attacks, and I thought I was going to watch my dad die when my 2009 Honda Pilot fell on top of him and I lifted the vehicle off his body (he’s doing great now!). Oh yea, I almost forgot the cherry on top, my mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer (she’s still fighting).

There were so many times during that year I wanted to scream (ok I did scream), “Come the F*&^ on Universe. Why?”

At the time, I had no idea what was in store for me, but now I know it was all in preparation for what was to come: self-reflection and healing. In other words, the work.

The end of 2017 going into 2018 felt like diet spirit soda compared to what followed three years later, when our world was shut down by COVID-19, and mental health issues, that were once dormant, quickly percolated to the surface causing s#@$ to get real. Like really, real.

In the early spring of 2021 I was raped. I took a three month leave of absence from work and was able to participate in therapy 3-4 times a week using eye movement desensitization reprograming (EMDR). Simplified down for those of you who are unaware about EMDR, it’s a technique where a therapist connects the mind and body, to allow the brain to process a traumatic event as just a memory, rather than eliciting a physical response. It started my healing journey and curiosity into the power of ALL THE THINGS!

For years, I walked through the flames of my own transformation- (ditching alcohol, loosing relationships, changing careers, journaling, meditating, learning about the brain and the body connection). The pain was excruciating, but it also revealed something deeper—my own strength, my own power. I had to face the fire to discover that what felt like destruction was actually my awakening.

The past eight years forged me, shaping a foundation of resilience that allowed me to move through life’s inevitable transitions—not just surviving them, but emerging stronger, more compassionate, more whole. And in that fire, I found my calling.

I now stand as a guide for women who are walking through their own challenges, navigating their own transitions. I don’t hold the answers—you do. My role is to walk beside you, helping you uncover the power, the wisdom, and the unshakable resilience that has been within you all along.

Because here’s the truth: You are not broken. You are becoming.

Fire is a force of destruction AND creation. The mighty sequoia can only grow new forests through fire, and in many ways, so can we.

So I’ll ask you the question that changed everything for me:

What will you do with the fire?

Whatever brought you here, I’m grateful our paths have crossed. I’m honored to walk this stretch with you.

With light and gratitude,
