Healing & Inner Freedom Starts with
Exploring the Depths of Who You Are
Multi-dimensional healing that goes beyond the mind
My work goes beyond the conceptual understanding of the mind and into body, soul, and spirit
in order to reach the root causes of your unhelpful patterns, behaviors, and thoughts.
Traditional talk-centered and mindset processes and over-analysis are de-prioritized so that your higher consciousness can guide us. We use somatics, shamanism, and intuition in addition to psychotherapeutic approaches to listen to your innate intelligence.
After 10 years of my own journey and studying with various teachers around the world, I now share the roadmap that I wish I had when embarking on the path. This is the map to reveal the most authentic version of you, so that you too can experience inner freedom and your most intentional life.

MY JOURNEY TO DEEP HEALING & AWAKENING
I spent the first 35 years of my life “going through the motions,” unable to access my emotions or true desires, and lacking a sense of deep fulfillment and purpose.
But that didn’t prevent me from building a “successful” and “stable” life for myself. I had a global title at a big corporation, a passport full of stamps, a beautiful home I owned.
Even so, something inside of me was restless.
-
I felt like there had to be more to life, that I was missing something, that there was a level of depth to myself and to life that I just didn’t have access to. While I didn’t even know what questions to ask, nevermind where to find the answers, I started exploring.
I practiced yoga for several years, read self-help books, and immersed myself in autobiographies inspired by the hero’s journey and those who overcame significant obstacles and transformed their lives.
Then in 2014, something serendipitous happened. While solo traveling the coast of California earlier that year, I booked a massage and hit it off with the therapist who was also a yoga teacher. My yoga practice had been deepening for the last several years, and it was the one place that I felt closer to the answers I was looking for. She invited me to her mother’s retreat center in Peru for ten days of yoga and sightseeing. And it was a full body “yes”.
Six months later, I found myself in the Sacred Valley and - everything changed.
At the end of a tour of the magnificent gardens at the retreat center, we stopped at a clearing with a Lucuma tree that was estimated to be more than 1,000 years old. The owner described how this tree sat between two of the highest mountains dominating the Andes region: Ausangate in the southeast, and Salkkantay, near Machu Picchu, in the northwest. These mountains are considered powerful deities, and the energetic line between them is just as significant. We were on sacred ground.
It was there that I experienced the most profound, came-out-of-nowhere emotional release. It was like a pressure valve released and decades of emotion spilled out.
In the moments that followed, I realized that I had been living for decades without access to my body, my emotions, my intuition, my desires, my true self. That there was a whole world inside me that had been shut down since I was five years old.
Just two weeks before my 5th birthday, my father was found murdered during an attempted robbery. My family dealt with this horror in the only way they knew how to at the time, which was to not talk about it. The grief, anger, confusion, and chaos was too much to process. So I buried it deep inside me, never approaching the subject for fear of having to feel the pain.
This all rushed to the surface, ready to be processed, and initiated my healing path.
So, I quit my corporate career of fifteen years and traveled solo around the world with just one bag and the desire to understand myself, how I got to where I was, how I needed to heal, and how I could create a life that truly reflected ME.
This led me to:
sitting in ceremony with Maori in New Zealand
studying with a teacher in an ashram in India
working with sacred plants and Indigenous shamans in Peru
many mentors, experiences, and healing modalities in between.
And here’s what happened
The more pain that I uncovered and felt, the more relief I found. The more I could truly feel the past, the more I could access what was true for me in the present.
The more I felt my feelings, the easier I could speak to and express them. The more I felt into my needs and desires, the easier it was to drop the expectations of others. My authentic self had space to emerge.
The more I trusted the messages of my body, the more I trusted my self and the more my intuition opened up.
The more my spiritual practice emerged, the more I felt connected to the sacredness of life and felt supported in ways I never thought possible.
It was a domino effect, shifting my life profoundly.
Today, I am living a life that truly reflects ME. I feel connected to myself, I have better boundaries, deeper connections with others, feel the sacredness of this life, and am truly fulfilled.
The pieces of my journey that were the most impactful are what I bring to my clients today.
Weaving together psychology and spirituality has the potential to heal at the deepest level possible, and I am honored to share the wisdom I have gained to awaken your most authentic self and align to your soul purpose.
I facilitate your journey through deep listening and reflecting what I hear and intuit through your words, your body, and your energy, guiding you to that inner knowing.
Through various modalities and approaches we can uncover and release what is in the way, allowing you to rediscover your true self, inner power, unique abilities, and soul purpose.
It would be my honor to guide you on this journey back to your Self.
