My Story

My healing journey began during the height of the pandemic, when my youngest son was diagnosed with autism. I struggled for a long time afterward, trying to hold everything together on my own. In a season of deep exhaustion and overwhelm, I finally turned to meditation out of desperation.

Looking back now, I can see how dysregulated my nervous system was at the time.

For much of my life, safety meant control and staying oriented to the tangible world. Anything that felt overwhelming or unstructured was naturally shut down — not out of fear, but out of self-protection.

More than twenty years earlier, I had already encountered energy in a profound way. At the time, I was highly skeptical and not oriented toward spiritual or energetic frameworks. During a small workshop, I sat in the center of a circle as two shamans offered healing work. I felt a powerful field of energy surrounding me — vibrating so intensely I could feel it and hear it. When they told me I was a healer, I wasn’t resourced enough to integrate something that intense, so I closed the door.

When I began meditating years later, the impact was immediate. Within days, my nervous system began to settle in a way I hadn’t experienced before. Soon after, I noticed warmth, movement, and the flow of energy through my hands. It was then that I remembered the experience with the shamans — not as something overwhelming this time, but as something that finally made sense in my body.

One night, as I was feeling this energy, I placed my hands on my son. For the first time, he fell asleep peacefully without melatonin. Over time, his reflux medication was no longer needed. I knew I was being shown something meaningful, and my search for understanding eventually led me to Reiki.

I can now see how every chapter of my life — from a suicide attempt after years as a top-ranked national athlete, to the addiction and toxic relationships that followed, and later more than a decade working in the field of law — was shaping me for this work. What once felt like chaos and pain became the soil where my compassion, discernment, and sense of purpose were formed.

Today, everything I lived through informs the way I support women. I help them feel safe in their bodies, grounded in who they are, and connected to the inner wisdom they’ve always carried.
