my story
I started out wanting to know what was ‘wrong’ with people and created a career finding what was RIGHT.
I’d always been shy, insecure, and intellectual. Rooted for the underdog, rebellious at heart and untrusting of ‘the institution.’ A true Gen Xer who felt the outcast were my people as I surely wasn’t worthy enough for the rest.
So I started with the criminal mind and quickly found it wasn’t the discovery of something broken to fix that was the nature of my calling. It was my gift of seeing people; of seeing what was right! Through relationship, intuition, and evidence-based approaches, I now get to ‘work’ with the full human experience (seen and unseen) and guide people toward true healing, to a sense of wholeness and flow.
I’m no longer shy. Mostly quiet, but out of observation, not insecurity. I still root for the underdog, love research and learning, and will always have a rebellious core (I mean I AM a Gen X baby). Still working on the trust…it’s actually my current obsession.
The outcasts aren’t necessarily my people. I’ve learned, it‘s more the curious. It’s those who aren’t afraid to question, aren’t afraid to take the road less traveled or be true to their inner voice, no matter how unpopular that may be.
Yoga, meditation, and various energy practices have played a significant role in my awakening. These practices got me in tune with my intuition, restored my energy flow, released traumas and ancestral wounds, and awakened me to what was right with me. From there, I grew wings.
I now use mind-body modalities to unstick, uplift, and help others overcome what weighs them down or makes them forget that they too can fly. I help them find their wings.
