About Me
I became a mother at 17. My daughter was born profoundly disabled and a non-speaker, and she has been my greatest teacher.
Raising her as a single mother cracked me open over and over again. I learned about communication, energy fields, joy, humility, and love. In her early years we were manipulated and coerced into medical models that force, chop, decimate and maim - not only a body, but a soul. While I appeared to hold everything together on the outside, I was decaying on the inside.
As a mother, I didn’t get every decision right, but with time she showed me how to listen with my eyes, heart, body - my whole entire being and how to trust what can’t be spoken. How to feel the world instead of just thinking it. We learned to communicate beyond boundaries of words and matter.
In my life I performed the roles I thought would keep us safe: the ‘good girl,’ the hyper-independent woman - needing no one or nothing (Kasia Urbaniak refers to the independent woman as Good Girl Version 2 and I agree, it is a very disempowered place to be). I disconnected from my body, emotions, spirituality, sensuality, and my capacity to receive. I numbed my pain with avoidance, distractions and addictions. I longed for intimacy, but concurrently was terrified of it, I sought greater purpose - seeking, searching, wanting - reaching outside of myself, things I would continually allude me while I sought outside myself.
Guilt. Shame. Fear. Regret. Heartbreak. They looped endlessly in my mind and took root in my body as pain and dis-ease and I hit rock bottom, I dreamed of death, I welcomed it and sure enough it came, but not in the physical sense, it came in the death of my ego, who I thought I was, who I thought I was meant to be and I letting go over and over and over again. It was from that raw, honest place where I felt I had nothing left to lose that I discovered my struggle, suffering, fear and pain were not curses, they were illusions that held messages and gifts to the freedom that sought me.
What I once experienced as pain and avoided, I began to experience as opportunity and to explore it with curiosity. I followed threads that unravelled into deep personal work, profound spiritual awakening, and enriched embodiment. I met the parts of myself I had rejected - rage, grief, yearning, and learned to hold them with compassion. I stopped trying to escape and shame my past and invited it to become my teacher - ripe with gifts and opportunity.
In the shadows, I found my strength. In the places I felt most broken, I uncovered a wholeness that had always been.
My Work
Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It is what happens when you get out of your own way and remember your were already whole.
My work invites you into deep embodied presence, where fear, pain, pleasure, and grief are not problems to solve, but portals to more aliveness. Here, we don’t bypass or override. We feel. We listen. We stay.
This is not about escaping discomfort or striving for perfection.
It’s about meeting what’s here - raw, real, and alive, and discovering that nothing within you is wrong. Everything belongs. Even the ache has wisdom. Every challenge has a gift.
We live in a world that’s addicted to avoidance, blame, bypass, emotional suppression and performance-based healing. But true freedom doesn’t come from chasing the light or avoiding the dark. It comes from learning to hold both, to accept your darkness and in doing so have the opportunity to understand it and make it healthy, and your light becomes even brighter when you do.
This is the path of non-dual psychology, emotional alchemy, sensual activation and spiritual embodiment, where sacred and mundane dissolve into each other, and where the body becomes the gateway to the divine.
Pleasure. Rage. Grief. Stillness...
To feel it all is not a failure. It’s a return. A remembering. A reclamation.
When we stop resisting what is, we begin to trust the deeper intelligence of life itself.
And from that trust, a quiet, grounded power arises, not from force or effort, but from alignment, surrender, and being.
You are not separate. You are not broken.
You are already whole.
This is the work. Let me serve you in it.
