the path that led me here

My story of visibility begins at the bottom of a river. Twelve people had died under the same rock where I found myself drowning—lungs tightening, air gone. In that terrifying stillness, panic gave way to clarity, and I heard a voice speak three words that changed everything: "They need you."

I surfaced not just alive, but reborn. What followed was a sacred unraveling—panic attacks, emotional numbness, a complete dissolution of who I thought I was. But something deeper knew: the breakdown was a doorway. When someone suggested breathwork, my body finally began to tell the truth my mind couldn't touch. Breath by breath, I found access to a well of sensation and knowing I had long been separated from. That work didn't just save me—it gave me a new language for life.

My life has been a process of embodiment—coming home to my own breath, body, and being. I no longer live with armor on or hide behind masks of strength. I've learned to be radically, painfully, beautifully present, knowing that everything—every loss, every trauma, every synchronicity—is happening for us, not to us.

Today, I devote my life to guiding others through their own reconnection. My mission is clear: to help people remember they are already enough. I do this through deep, grounded presence and the art of sacred listening, holding a mirror so others can see themselves clearly—often for the first time. My work is rooted in this truth: "It is safe to be you." And when people aren't ready to believe that, I hold them until they can.

I bring over twenty-five years of experience in somatic healing, therapeutic bodywork, breathwork, and transformational coaching, with certifications spanning trauma-informed breathwork facilitation, conscious life coaching, somatic bodywork, and holistic health practice. I hold a B.S. in Integrative Physiology, which helps me bridge the physical, emotional, and energetic realms with precision and care.

My work today is a living synthesis of everything I have survived, studied, and embodied. Through breathwork, I help people access emotional truth directly through the body. Through conscious counseling, I offer both spiritual presence and practical support. Through embodiment and frequency work, I guide clients to reconnect with their energy, tone, and intuitive compass. And through journaling and storytelling, I help integrate the healing journey, reminding people that story is not just reflection—it's a compass pointing you in the direction of your truth..

My work isn't about fixing anyone. It's about creating safety and space for people to remember who they were before they forgot—to return to their bodies, their truths, their freedom. My deepest desire is to guide people toward the embodied knowing that they are their own healer, and always have been.

I'm still writing my story. It's unfinished by design. But what's clear—what has always been clear beneath the surface—is that I came back for a reason.

And if you've found me now, maybe you have too.
