My childhood was far from the toughest out there, I'm sure.

And there were plenty of blessings - not just the ones in disguise, but also the obvious ones.  

​

But with the sensitive design and the personality I came into this world with, combined with surrounding circumstances, it was difficult enough that by the time I was in my teens I struggled with eating disorders and suicidal depression.  It was also the start of a long list of physical health challenges that only got worse over the years, despite having a master's degree in Integrative Health.  24-7 year round eczema, brain fog, a face that hurt, wrists so inflamed I couldn't do downward dog (starting in my teens), horrendous digestion with a stomach stuck above the diaphragm which made eating quite the unpleasant ordeal, neck and shoulders so tight and often kept me awake, incredibly cold hands and feet that could keep me awake for hours at night despite bundling up.

​

​

 

Eventually... I'd had chronic fatigue for 20 yrs.  And in some powerful self-sabotage behaviors, executive functioning challenges, sensitivities and intolerances, and I was unable to work much.   

I looked "fine" to many... 

Little did they know, I was no longer able to brush my teeth "manually" from being so stiff and fatigued.  

Or that my blood pressure was so low,  I once witnessed an acupuncturist's panicked expression when assessing my pulse after following his guidance.  

​

I was no longer depressed and was surprisingly optimistic, but struggled tremendously to function, and I often felt that being alive was highly overrated.  

​

​

​

​I had done a lot of inner work in my earlier years, and had overcome suicidal depression during my teens, and a was mostly free of a depressingly long journey with eating disorders.  And I now I needed something to carry me to the next stage of releasing and transforming after being rather stuck in deeply rooted patterns.   That's when I came across the emotional release work (RRT™) used in MessyBeautiful sessions.

 

It's one of those things that have you wonder how life might have been different had you come across it much earlier in life.

​

And shortly after, I came across Block Therapy™, which too is one of those that has you wishing you had started in childhood.  

​

There was a deepening in my sound healing practice around this time, which also supported me greatly.  What some would call light language, these sounds started flowing out of me in ways that were subtle yet profound.  

I still forget to sing somedays, or get sucked into prioritizing other "more important" things if my activities that day don't include singing.  But singing is a powerful medicine in its own right, and there's no doubt in me that some of my challenges with my health had singing continued to be a nourishing part of my daily life, so many years ago and it had stopped being so.   Here's more on that story... 

​

And I started a program for brain training  to help with executive functioning, which seemed to become more effective as I supported the nervous system with the other work.

​

​

The modalities I offer are some of what have helped me turn around in powerful ways.  

​​

And I am far from "fully healed."  

It's a journey...  and some say that there is no such thing as fully healed.  

 

In fact, I sometimes help those who are in far better condition than myself. 

We all start at different points, and walk unique paths.   And we are ever-evolving. 

​

There are so many modalities being offered in today's world.  And many are helpful in different ways, for different people, at different times.  

​​

In my view, health and healing involve learning to stay as connected to our own unique guidance, and embodying a deep knowing and ability to trust that there is beauty and purpose in all of what we experience. 

​

The work I offer here can help you do that in various ways. 

Above all, my greatest hope is that you find whatever works for you in helping you reconnect to the depths of the beautiful being that you are, and to the power you carry within. ​

​

The more you know that you are deeply loved, deeply capable, and fully supported by life in your unique path, the more you will be able to let life in - with all its love and wisdom - to touch you, to guide you, and to help you live your best life.
