Those of us who choose to walk the healing path are reflections of each other. I am you and you are me. I think we have universal feelings and struggles and we are in this together! And since we are wired to be doing all of this life "together" it makes sense that we need connection to open up our heart and trust to learn how to let ourselves fully come out into our vulnerability. It took a long time for me to be in a space where I could step fully into my light. I had layers of old agreements that were given to me that were not even my own. I went into deep shock at a very young age and learned to survive by shutting off and tuning out. What I now know is that it is heartbreaking that my empath abilities were so overwhelming that being numb felt better than not knowing how to "keep it together". What a journey it has been. I especially love to facilitate a space where those who are sensitive, like me, can step into their power and learn all the tools I have in my toolbox, as the world needs more light workers in a serious way. Like excavating a diamond, you are a being of love and light that needs to shine!
When someone asked me recently what is it that I do in the world...I lovingly replied, "On a good day, I help facilitate a grounded and sacred space, where one can connect with a piece of their soul or heal a piece of themselves in a deeper way that brings them to an empowered, liberated, and connected place." This is what truly brings me absolute joy & deep purpose. I truly believe we ALL have the capacity to heal ourselves and to some I can be a therapist, a coach, a teacher, a facilitator, a guide, a space holder, but YOU my friend, you are the healer. I see you connecting with your heart, your breath, and your clear YES to what you want in this life. When you can begin to create more space inside, you can begin to unfold, expand, and grow from a heart-space into infinite possibilities. In this life, it is my purpose to hold this space for others to heal and to help move and reclaim energy.
I have all my "gold stars" gathered in a boxes below, but it has always been the things I have actually experienced that have helped me flourish. It is the things that I actually got to EXPERIENCE that have woke me up from a deep sleep.
This is how I work in the healing arena....I want you to experience your own healing. To experience "be"ing FULLY alive to your journey. I would love to teach you how to become an open-hearted witness and a fierce warrior advocate for yourself. I would love to help you in moving stuck energy, emotions (which are also energy), and release all things keeping you from being a light and free human being here on earth. We cannot do this only from a space in the mind. To do this we must connect with our bodies and our subtle energy. We must look at our agreements to what feeling means and the patterns we put in place to protect ourselves. We must connect with the earth and get grounded. We must stop living in the outlines of ourselves and move inside to our hearts, so we can meet our soul. We need to be able to do those things to allow for our energy to flow, so we are not constricted in our bodies. So there is SPACE that is freed up within us to expand and so there is room to connect and grow.

“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions:
"When did you stop dancing?
When did you stop singing?
When did you stop being enchanted by stories?
When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?”
― Gabrielle Roth
I want to end by expressing gratitude. I am SO honored to be with with the people who I meet in person and in web-space, who come into my office and groups. This healing work is such a sacred journey, and to be a witness to another's unfolding is my greatest gift. Much love to you all!!!!

"We waste so much energy trying to cover up who we are when beneath every attitude is the want to be loved, and beneath every anger is a wound to be healed and beneath every sadness is the fear that there will not be enough time.
When we hesitate in being direct, we unknowingly slip something on, some added layer of protection that keeps us from feeling the world, and often that thin covering is the beginning of a loneliness which, if not put down, diminishes our chances of joy.
It’s like wearing gloves every time we touch something, and then, forgetting we chose to put them on, we complain that nothing feels quite real. Our challenge each day is not to get dressed to face the world but to unglove ourselves so that the doorknob feels cold and the car handle feels wet and the kiss goodbye feels like the lips of another being, soft and unrepeatable.”
