"A Soul Should Never Be Half Empty"

My journey has been full of challenges, growth, & transformation. It’s a story of self-discovery, spiritual awakening, healing, and reclamation to become the person I was always meant to be. Growing up, I was told I was “too sensitive” which left me believing who I was at my core was somehow bad & wrong.

In 2024, I discovered I’m neurodivergent which made so much of my life make sense. I finally understood why I felt so different from others. Even so, I’ve always been an empath, a psychic-medium, deeply intuitive, and highly sensitive. But for much of my life, I didn’t know how to navigate these gifts, let alone feeling empowered by them. My sensitivities were overwhelming, and in my 20's I turned to alcohol, food, and tobacco to cope with the flood of emotions I didn’t know how to manage or that I avoided feeling. I kept myself small, afraid to use my voice and people-pleasing was my go to coping strategy. I was trapped in codependency trying to keep the peace, often losing myself in relationships which left me feeling invisible most of the time. As if my needs didn't matter.

At 23, I experienced sexual trauma in my home which led me to gain 100 pounds and for 13 years I blamed myself & my body, struggling with body dysmorphia, binge eating, and self-hate. My needs were always came last if I even recognized them at all. That self-abandonment & neglect opened the door to emotional, physical, and other forms of abuse. I stayed in unhealthy relationships for far too long, struggled to see my own value & worth, and didn’t know how to stand up for myself. With no boundaries in place, I often felt burnt out, disconnected & resentful. I was disconnected from my authenticity, intuition and power.

In 2013 I hit rock bottom while attending a workshop in the Dominican Republic. I realized I could no longer live this way and I made a decision that changed everything: I said YES to myself & from that moment on I made myself a a priority.

After years of self-hate and loathing, that moment sparked my spiritual awakening & the beginning of my self-love journey.

I started with therapy, which gave me the tools to begin healing. One step at a time, following the intuitive breadcrumbs & learning to trust myself, I found myself on a path I couldn’t have predicted. About a year in, I felt a calling to become a coach. I dove into the Fearless Living Institute, an intensive program where I spent a year learning how to coach others and, jas importantly, how to understand and process my own fears. It was during this time that I also began uncovering my spiritual gifts. I discovered I was a psychic-medium & learned how to develop and use these abilities alongside my coaching.

After Fearless Living, I continued to grow. I invested deeply in myself—over $100,000 across 13 years of healing and healed the relationship with money, dismantle my money trauma, and build my business. There were countless lessons in love, life,, self doubt and self-sabotage. Slowly but surely, I began reclaiming my power.

In 2019, I faced my dark night of the soul, right as the pandemic hit. Out of that darkness came new clarity. In 2020, I felt a deep pull to travel across the country with my partner at the time and through that experienced I saw in real time how quickly my nervous system could short circuit and after almost a year of travel I decided to settle for a bit. Grounded with wings is what my body needed to enjoy the excitement of adventure but the grounded-ness of having a nest to come back to.

In 2021, I decided it was time to follow the calling to reclaim my sexuality. This led me to join the Vita Institute with Layla Martin, where I completed a year-and-a-half-long intensive program to become a Trauma-Informed Somatic Love, Sex, and Relationship Coach. This work was life-changing. Unlike everything I’d done before, which focused on the mind, this work focused on the body. That was the game-changer.

Through this body-based healing, I rewired my nervous system, healed my sexual trauma, and shifted from surviving to thriving. For most of my life, I had been in survival mode, with a sensitive nervous system feeling everything so intensely. My inner protectors worked hard to keep me safe, but I didn’t feel free. Learning how to create safety within my own body allowed me to break cycles of self-sabotage and reconnect with my authentic self.

What I’ve learned is this: We all have unconscious patterns shaped by childhood and life experiences. These parts of us step in to protect us when we feel threatened. But to receive all that life has to offer—love, abundance, connection, we need to rewire our nervous systems & learn to create safety from within ourselves.

We must go into the body.

Plot twist, right? The very thing I was avoiding, dissociating from, and scared to face was the place where my healing & freedom lived. Now, I help others do the same. Everything is connected. When you transform in one area all areas get better. It's not separate, it's all connected...

Abundance, love, connection, and belonging are your birthrights.

You don’t have to just survive—you can thrive and I can show you how.
