My Journey

Like so many of us, my healing journey began due to a scary and painful childhood that could have set me up for failure in life. I grew up in a home where love was present — but so was chaos. My parents cared for me the only way they knew how: I had food, I had a roof, and I had their hearts. But they were young, overwhelmed, and still children in so many ways themselves.

Addiction and volatility shaped the rhythm of our household. Their desire to escape — to cling to freedom, to numb, to feel alive — often took priority over the stability and protection that a child needs. They were doing their best, but they didn’t have the tools, the safety, or the emotional capacity to truly show up.

So from a very young age, I learned to parent my parents.
I learned to anticipate their moods. Their needs.
I learned it wasn’t safe to have needs of my own.

They loved me, deeply, but they couldn’t protect me from the instability that lived within them. And so I learned to survive by disconnecting from my own tenderness.

I didn’t know how to trust.
I didn’t know how to soften.
My body was always “on,” even when I begged it to rest.

It became second nature to constantly carry emotions that felt too heavy to hold, with a smile on my face.
To be caught in cycles of self-doubt, relationship anxiety, fear of abandonment, escapism.
To feel like love, money, purpose, and peace are just out of reach — blocked by something I couldn’t quite name.

People-pleasing and fawning became my strategy to survive — a desperate way to feel connected and safe in relationships. I molded myself into the person I thought people wanted me to be all the time, abandoning my own needs just to belong. I built an identity around holding space for others, listening, learning them, loving them no matter what I had to give up — so that I would be safe. So that they would choose me and need me and want me. Ultimately so that I wouldn’t be abandoned.
It left me burned out and depleted — shouldering a nervous system full of unexpressed rage, a fierce fire within me that ached to be let out— to be known.

I consistently said yes when my body screamed no, and this led to years of chronic tension and pain in my jaw, neck, and shoulders. To the point of suffering from insomnia for I couldn’t even tell you how long.

I worked my behind off to support myself from the age of 15, with a smile on my face— to seem like I had it all together. To convince myself that I was ok, to prove that I could handle anything life threw my way… because after all, this made me strong, right?

Well that’s what I told myself. That’s what I saw my mom do. This was normal, so I thought… to power through the suffering. To never ask for help. To never seem weak or incapable.

It truly was my resilient spirit that pushed me to keep going even in the face CPTSD that, traditionally speaking, would have gotten me prescribed 3 or 4 different types of medications and ultimately screwed me up even more.

I am so proud of myself for leaning in and looking at my roots, the fractals of my soul that in the west we are encouraged to turn away from.

Everything shifted when I discovered yoga and alternative healing. Those practices — and the teachers who helped me feel again — changed the trajectory of my life.

Through somatic work, I learned to communicate with my body, to honor its wisdom, and to create a safe inner home where pain was not feared, but welcomed and understood. As my nervous system softened, I found parts of myself I had forgotten: my strength, my radiance, my voice, my no.

This healing wasn’t airy or abstract — it was physical.
It was here in my flesh, my breath, my heartbeat.
It was the process of alchemizing the parts of me I once hid in the dark.

And through that transformation, I realized something profound: every single human holds this same power within them.

My devotion now is to guide others home to themselves — to the intelligence of their nervous system, to the truth in their body, to the liberation that begins from the inside out.

You are not broken.
What you feel is not a flaw.
Your body is trying to carry you toward your wholeness — and I’m here to help you listen.

My Philosophy

Healing isn’t about fixing something that’s broken—it’s about remembering your wholeness. It’s about widening your capacity to BE— fully inside of the present moment. Your body holds incredible wisdom, and by learning to listen to it, we can release what’s been holding it back and create space for the life you truly want to and deserve to live.

What I Offer

Whether through 1:1 somatic sessions, group workshops, or immersive retreats, I offer a grounded and nurturing space for you to explore, heal, and transform at the pace your body desires.

Together, we will:

• Release stored trauma and stagnant energy
  Gently unwind patterns held deep within the nervous system and body.

• Rebuild an inner foundation of safety
  Learn to trust your internal world and settle into your own presence.

• Develop emotional regulation and resilience
  Receive tools that support integration and steadiness in real life, not just in session.

• Reclaim your authentic Self
  Express who you truly are — without shrinking, masking, or abandoning your needs.

• Restore intimacy with yourself and life
  Deepen your capacity for connection, pleasure, belonging, and embodied joy.
