I have been committed to natural approaches and healing self empowerment for some time. I was more of a dabbler though until my life took a serious medical turn that I did not see coming…

In 2009, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I was numb with fear and uncertainty. As a single mom - what did this mean for my children? This disease is unpredictable. My initial reaction was “just tell me what to do so that I can remain independent, strong and able to take care of my family.” For me this meant a daily injection and the guidance from my doctor that this was all I could do. Cross my fingers.

It got worse. My joints ached. My body throbbed. Next diagnosis - fibromyalgia. And another medication. Or maybe it was the MS but still take this other medication.

In a moment of despair, an insight came to me that changed the trajectory of my health forever and for the better. As I would find myself in moments of stillness - lying awake in bed, on the porch in early morning hours, or in tears as I sat on my meditation cushion - I KNEW there was more that I could do. There was no way I was going to hand over my power to these diagnoses. And that the medications I was putting into my body were not helping me but poisoning me. I made a difficult and frightening choice, against the recommendation of my doctor and the worry of my family. I stopped taking the medications. Within weeks the symptoms that had been progressing, began to subside. It was time for me to take my power back and get to work healing my body, mind and spirit. None of this did I learn from a doctor. It was never even discussed as a potential option for healing.

I am not suggesting you ignore your doctor (this is a personal choice). I AM suggesting you have more power than you realzie or have been led to believe in our medi-pharma culture. Your body is divinely designed to heal under the right conditions and with the right inputs. I have spent the past 15 years doing just this - designing my own healing path, continually optimizing and finding what works for me in the midst of the noise. It has been an up and down, imperfect journey for sure. Ultimately it has been the ancient wisdom of nature and indigenous cultures as well as the modern science of working with the nervous system that has made all the difference for me. I now guide women in chronic pain to personalized lifestyle solutions. This pain might be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual - likely all four as it was for me! Perhaps there is a diagnosis of autoimmune disease or perhaps symptoms of pre-disease diagnosis. So many of the symptoms we experience but ignore so we can maintain the daily grind or because we normalize not feeling quite right are actually our body communicating with us. We do not know how to listen though. We have become so disconnected from the wisdom within and all around us.

Learning how to listen has been my commitment to my body and to the the universe for having my back in my moments of despair. My dharma, or purpose, is to serve and support the awakening and personalized self-healing in others, a journey I continue to embark upon myself daily.

If this resonates…join me. You will find my offers here. My skills in holding sacred space, combined with a coaching style that opens hearts and minds to the boundless potential within, makes me a beacon of guidance for those seeking transformation and growth. My life and work are a testament to my unwavering commitment to the betterment of others, guiding them on a journey towards healing, expansion, and the realization of their unique potential while honoring and nurturing the divine feminine energy within.
