Like many empaths we grow up feeling too much and told we are "too emotional". We feel different and misunderstood. I enjoyed spending time alone over playing with friends. I was sexually abused at a very young age by someone that was supposed to love and protect me. I felt unsafe in the world. I learned how to please the people around me in order to avoid conflict. I told myself that if I stay small I will be out of harm's way. I was teased for not being like everyone else physically and emotionally. I did whatever it took to be accepted. I had no idea how lost I was. I had several toxic relationships as a young adult.

After high-school I got educated, started my career, was married and had children. I was robotic in these roles wearing different hats for each scenario. As my emotions from the past resurfaced I started taking antidepressants to bury the memories and pain associated with them. 

13 years ago my marriage fell apart. I had to ask myself who I was if I am not someone's wife. I needed to understand why this relationship did not serve me any longer and sought out energy work. I became a single working mom while learning as much as I could about energy blocks, unresolved emotions and why I felt empty inside. I jumped back into the corporate world. I still longed for love and acceptance. I tried to achieve this only to self sabotage my new relationship over and over again with my negative patterns. I found myself being  bullied and disrespected again at my corporate job. This left me no choice but to leave the career I thought I would retire from in 2020.

I desperately needed to start loving myself. I dove deeper into the energy work full time, taking that hard look in the mirror. After some time my life around me started to change. I began to feel resolution for my negative patterns.  A love for myself began to emerge. I got sober and began to change the relationship with myself and others. In the fall of 2023 I was told I had cancer.  Shocked is not the word I would use, there are no words to describe the gamut of emotions. Things had progressed so much that I underwent both conventional & holistic treatments. After 3 months the cancer had shrunk 90%. Now in recovery maintaining a healthy lifestyle physically, mentally and emotionally. I saw a disconnect between conventional medicine and the mind-body connection. We want to beat the disease but more importantly, why we got it in the first place.  Hospitals are scary, treatment even moreso. It was difficult to remain grounded in the faith I would get through it. I want to provide guidance and relatability to those in similar situations. Help them endure treatment while remaining connected to their body in a way that enhances their own healing journey.
