How it began...
"And the day came, when the risk to remain in the bud became more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
- Anais Nin
I did ALL of the things I thought I was supposed to do in life:
- College
- Graduate school
- Marriage
- Kids
- Dream job (or so I thought)
And yet, when I finally achieved what I set out to do, I wasn't any happier with me or life. In fact, I felt stressed, anxious, unhappy and lost. I was disconnected from myself.
In my early career as a school psychologist, I wore the mask of "having it all together" while inside, I was overwhelmed, exhausted, full of anxiety and lost. I was living life for everyone else but me. I became an expert in overachieving and people pleasing.
The crux came when my anxiety and overwhelm reached a breaking point. Despite all the "right" self-help tools, including talk therapy, I hit a plateau and something was still missing. I knew there had to be a way to go deeper and access the root of my struggles. Through a series of spiritually transformative experiences, followed by a near death experience, I was guided to discover the profound combination of transpersonal/spiritual hypnosis and mindful living.
How I can help
After years of focusing on your career, external achievements, and taking care of others, you are now being called back home to yourself. You're not broken, you're just disconnected.
I have combined everything I learned and experienced, including scientifically proven techniques along with spiritual wisdom, to help you achieve what feels impossible - the ability to be comfortable in your own skin while discovering true peace, clarity and purpose.
What I learned through my own process, and have since shared with thousands of others, is that:
-
Within us is a portal to deep wisdom, and even if it's buried, we can find our way there - I did it, and you can too!
-
Overwhelm isn't a personal failing, but a sign we're carrying energy that isn't ours
-
Lasting peace is possible, without losing our ability to create and perform
-
We are all so much more than this body and mind, and there is a wisdom within ready to guide us.
