About Me

Living in Survival Mode

I know what it’s like to wake up every day on edge, constantly bracing for the next wave of the walls around me crumbling. That relentless hum of restlessness and anxiety was my constant companion, demanding I find relief anywhere I could.

Drugs. Alcohol. Losing myself in hours of TV. Trying to please everyone around me. Achieving, achieving, and then achieving some more. Pushing my body to exhaustion through over-exercising.

For a moment, those things soothed the ache. But when the numbness wore off, the pain was still there, sharper and louder than before.

Walking Through the Darkness

I’ve walked through fear that felt suffocating, self-doubt that ran so deep it shaped how I showed up in the world, trauma that left me fragmented, and burnout that drained me over and over.

I hid my fear behind defiance, constantly pushing back, trying to prove I deserved my place in the world. My self-doubt? I masked it with an over-the-top confidence that was paper-thin under the surface. The trauma? I buried it so deep beneath the layers of protective habits and behaviors that I couldn’t tell where it ended and began.

And the burnout? A familiar cycle. No matter how many hours I spent journaling, meditating, or talking it out, I couldn’t break free because I was only scratching the surface, avoiding the hidden pain and unresolved wounds that truly needed my attention.

Piece by Piece, Becoming Whole

Trauma shattered my sense of self. It was like a thousand-piece puzzle dumped out on the table, scattered and incomplete. But I didn’t turn away. 

I faced the parts of myself I feared most—painful memories, sharp edges of my past, and hidden truths. It was like stepping into a dark room, unsure of what I’d find, but I kept going. 

What I found on the other side was something I never thought I’d see–clear, bright light seeping through. I haven’t dusted every corner or met every edge. We’re never quite “done” meeting every guarded part of ourselves that misguides us. But I’ve reclaimed so much. Self-trust. Inner strength. Compassion. 

That sweet freedom comes from within. It lives in the peace of feeling safe inside my own body, trusting myself to face stress and conflict without crumbling or running away. I don’t hide in shame or guilt. I stand firm in self-trust, my own power.

The Resilience Within

Facing my shadows has shown me how strong I am. That voice inside me—my loving presence, my intuition, my higher self—is no longer a faint whisper drowned out by fear, doubt, or the echoes of old wounds. It’s clear. It’s steady. It’s mine.

I’ve carved out the space to truly know myself. Whenever life feels like it’s breaking apart, no matter how gut-wrenching or terrifying, I can always turn inward to that voice. It’s like a lighthouse in a storm, lighting the way when the waves crash hardest. It’s my calm in the chaos, my safe place to land, my solid ground even when the landscape ahead becomes rocky.

The Work That Changes Everything

This is the path to becoming whole again—coming back home to the love within. To integrate all those scattered pieces and rediscover the truth of who you are. It takes patience. It takes courage to ask for help. And it requires you to look at the darkest, messiest parts of yourself with compassion.

But when you do, you’ll find the light waiting for you, just like I did. You’ll see how life can change in the most profound, beautiful ways. Presence shines through. Clarity emerges.

I Didn’t Do This Alone

I didn’t discover this path on my own. Healers, mentors, and coaches carried me through the hardest parts. They held space for me to confront what I couldn’t face alone. They guided me until I found my own strength. Now, I get to do the same for you.

I believe in the possibility of breaking from the limiting beliefs, shaky behaviors, and draining patterns because I’ve lived it. This work is about digging deep, going beyond the surface, and inviting the whole body into the healing process. Noticing where sensation invites us to listen.

This isn’t a cold, detached theory. It’s life-changing. It’s about turning inward and rebuilding from the inside out.
