How I Became a Coach
My Story
I have long been passionate about the healing arts. Right after graduating high school, I became a Licensed Massage Therapist and learned many different modalities, from Reiki to myofascial release to craniosacral therapy.
Then I studied psychology at a university, and worked as a Research Assistant in a clinical psychology lab focused on body image and eating disorders.
I ended up working in the corporate world for over 15 years, while pursuing many of my interests in healing modalities in my free time.
For the last few years, I have been pursuing many professional training opportunities in both coaching and healing. Over the last few years, I have developed and deepened my skills.
Now, I am passionate about helping women (and AFAB NB individuals) return to their original, wise essence -- before you learned to fear love, intimacy, and connection.
On top of all my professional training, my personal experiences have given me deep insights and compassion. Personally, I also:
- Am an empath and Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)
- Know the pain of low self-esteem, codependency, and narcissistic relationships
- Know the difficulty of recovering the true self I lost through people-pleasing
- Know the deep heartbreak of divorce, grief, and loss
- Know the discomfort of having trust issues and anxiety in relationships
- Know the anxiety that comes with having an alcoholic parent and sibling
- Know the agony of trauma after sexual assault
- Know the pain of hating my body and hating myself for my mistakes
AND...
I know how much COURAGE it takes to face these things and begin to heal.
And that's why I think you're incredible for even contemplating doing deep inner work.
To me, that says you have an inner knowing that more is possible for you. 💯
I am certain that more is possible for you, and I can support you in deepening your connection to that inner knowing. 💫

What's unique about my approach?
Working with the mind, body, and spirit has the power to produce some of the deepest transformation.
The coaching methodology I use can help you realize your desires, because it synergistically weaves together the following:
- The VITA™ Method created by Layla Martin, which includes Tantric and Taoist practices
- Integrated Attachment Theory™ created by Thais Gibson, an approach designed to help you develop a secure attachment style to thrive in relationships
- Trauma-informed recovery, as taught by the IAOTRC, which focuses on giving clients voice and choice in their recovery, attunement, and more
- Neuroscience and psychology
- Inner child work
- Meditation
- Breathwork
- Visualization
- Embodiment practices
- Somatic parts work
- A touch of magic 💫
With all of that said, ultimately I help my clients find THEIR inner wisdom. Deep within you lies so much beauty, wisdom, compassion, and divinity.
✨ There is nothing fundamentally wrong with you. ✨
I focus on attuning to my client's needs and offering different options for each session — because this helps to reconnect to one's inner being. 💫
