I’m here because it’s hard to go it alone. I know from experience. Trying to figure it all out - and do it- all on your own is exhausting, confusing, and heavy.
I’m here because it’s hard to see ourselves - let alone be there for ourselves compassionately & lovingly when we weren’t shown the way.
I’m here because amazing things happen when two people put their trust in eachother, connect in their perfectly-imperfect humanity, and walk side by side.
I’m here because I have been passionate about health and wellbeing for as long as I can remember (or at least going back to high school) and, despite everything that I knew about wellness, I arrived at a point in life where I was a wreck and life was a mess. I was in a miserable marriage. I was a new mom. I was disconnected from my community. I lost sight of myself and what was important to me as I sought to care for others.
I was tense, frustrated and angry at the confines created by everyone else’s expectations of me. I carried way more psychic weight than anyone should have to bear. I was tired, crushed and, I thought, powerless to change anything.
And then I began to find my power. I let myself hear myself. I let myself reach out for help. And, most importantly, I let myself act on what I was hearing.
It started with an image of my soul that came to me while pushing my young son on a swing: in my mind’s eye a candle with the barest ember of light on the tip of it’s wick appeared. My spark was about to go out, and I was afraid that it was going to go out for good. I saw before me two choices, continue on the path that I was on and become a human zombie or start making some changes and come back to life.
Coming back to life was often not easy. It was also often exhilarating. And, I was clear in my commitment: listening to the still, small voice inside, I followed the pulse of vitality and momentum.
Perhaps the greatest gift of the path I took was learning how to teach these skills to others. To be the one in the room with the evidence-based education and life experience necessary to help others learn how to re-set, re-focus, and re-affirm basic truths about themselves. Second only to my aforementioned toddler (now a thriving teen), supporting you on your journey to being your healthiest and most well is my greatest joy.
I’m here to help you listen to your own still, small voice that knows the way.
I’m here to help you peel away the patina that is dulling your beauty, your power, your life.
I’m here to help you fan the flame of your own soul.
You can do this. You can be more alive.
