I teach, mentor, write, and speak on the journey from trauma to love and leadership. I help people embrace vulnerability and responsibility so they can get to the other side. I believe healing trauma is a spiritual experience that connects you to your purpose, your people, and your power.

My purpose is to call you forward.

I’m a personal development nerd, obsessed with energy, the nervous system, somatics, and embodiment, who began with nothing more than a desire to heal from my own childhood trauma. I’m proud I took brave aligned action to create purpose from my past.

Through my mentorship, masterminds, membership, and podcast, I help people just like you on their journey of discovering who they really are.

Here’s how:

• Do you want to slow down and feel safe in your body, exit survival mode and autopilot, and answer the call for MORE? I’ll guide you to the other side of trauma.

• Do you want to see your SELF without the filter of shame, but just can’t seem to believe that you’re enough? I’ll help you lead and love from your authentic SELF.

• Do you crave emotional intimacy and healthy partnership in your life — but can’t seem to embrace vulnerability and change your current relationship paradigm? I’ll show you how to bring your whole self to THE Table and relate differently!

I didn’t grow up with a secure attachment template, my emotional needs were unmet, and I struggled hard with anxiety from unresolved trauma, but I had a desire to make meaning out of my experiences. I learned the tools to emotional regulate and expand, and the practices to get into energetic alignment and manifest the MORE.

If you’re willing to bring your whole self forward, go all in, and prioritize getting into alignment first, there’s nothing you can’t transform, resolve, or create.

My personal code that I live by is, “Don’t call me out, call me forward”. Self leadership and Self love are the foundation for a purposeful life filled with quality relationships.

My mission is to help you embrace vulnerability and responsibility and give you the training, tools, and support you need to get to the other side of trauma and live and love on your terms.

Where did my story begin?

At twenty-two, I lost my father to a twelve-year battle with cancer. Twelve years of my developmental years revolved around the question, “Is my dad going to die today? While my story didn’t begin the day he died, there was a line drawn in the sand. A before and an after his death. 

Before his passing, life was chaotic. Divorce, infidelity, addiction, illness, moving, money problems. Childhood was more of a blur, than a nostalgic memory and being the oldest child also meant I shouldered a lot of the burdens.

My only escape was found on the back of a horse. 

After my father’s passing shit got real. Panic attacks, ulcers, IBS, heartbreak, physical injuries, moving every year, job loss, debt. I was repeating my exact template from childhood. 

Losing my dad brought what was buried deep within me to the surface. It was one prolonged spiritual awakening in the form of anxiety attacks. A dark night of the soul that lasted for a decade. 

My story starts at 22 because the loss of someone who was once your entire world changes you.

I attended one funeral for him, but since then, many of my own. I knew I had survived, but now the work was to come back to life. 

I began “the work” in the classroom and on the therapy couch. Both normalized my experience and gave me the language to talk about what I had been through. I earned a BA and MA in Psychology and soon worked as an interning therapist in the recovery space. 

Working in the field proved to be a recipe for overwhelm as a new associate therapist who was being overworked, underpaid, and without much guidance.

My anxiety was at an all time high. I felt depleted, confused, and out of alignment. I remember walking into my supervisor's office and quitting on the spot and left the field completely.

I dove head first into fitness. I was looking for something “less triggering”. Not only did I become a Nationally Certified Personal Trainer, I also took on fitness competitions. While at first glance, I appeared healthier and happier, internally I was living in restriction and treating my body like a machine. My body had become a billboard and my aesthetics would be the deciding factor between becoming successful or not. No pressure. 

Instead of loss cracking me wider open and inviting me to feel, I hardened. I was officially emotionally unavailable. 

Fitness, yoga, and soon to be my unprofessional dance career, exposed the fact that my body was moving and functioning, but there was nothing at my center. I didn’t have a sense of SELF.

But on that dance floor, I met a man who danced from heart and soul, whose energy was so gentle, even my walls didn’t want to keep him out. 

I fell into a deep love. A love that held up a mirror. A love that made me face myself. A love unfiltered. It was the first taste of emotional intimacy I had ever experienced. I knew my life would never be the same.

Our partnership made up a major chapter, but we didn’t have the relational skills to make it last a lifetime. The loss of this relationship taught me how sacred heartbreak is. That heartbreak is the heart breaking open.

It was this very love that cracked me wide open.

The culmination of my experiences led me back to my SELF. I could finally make meaning out of all I had been through.

And it’s from this place that my purposeful work in the world began because I was finally connected to my heart.

My education, my short lived career as a therapist, the fitness and yoga, the lived experiences and wisdom garnered from them, and the many years of my own SELF development came full circle.

It is my greatest honor to hold space for you to discover your SELF too. To make meaning of your past so you can let it go. You can heal, do, be, become, create anything when you’re living, leading, and loving from your highest self. Let my story be an example.

Let me help you to allow love and life to move you. To crack you open. To trust your path because you’re leading from your highest SELF.
