Let's Heal

Everyone has a story, right? Mine started at 18, halfway through college to become a nurse, then a knowing, that something was off.

I could see it clearly even then — a system built around managing symptoms, not healing people. Around moving fast, not truly seeing anyone. So I walked away. Not because I didn't want to help — but because I felt called to help deeply.

I became a caregiver, and I loved it, it was meaningful and I truly felt my purpose was being fulfilled. I was making a daily, tangible difference in people's lives. Meanwhile, I started falling in love with herbs, with natural medicine, with the idea that the body already knows how to heal — it just needs the right support.

But while I was learning everything about healing others, I was quietly falling apart myself.

For nine years I was in a narcissistic abusive relationship that stripped me of everything. Psychological abuse, mental, physical. A cult-like religion that taught me women had no voice, no power, no right to take up space. I was solely caring for seven people, suppressing every emotion, and had completely disappeared inside my own life. At my lowest I was 250 lbs, deeply depressed, and unrecognizable— which is saying something for someone who is naturally joyful to her core — and running on empty in every direction.

I knew everything about health. I just hadn't been allowed to use it on myself.

Until one day I said enough. I had nothing to lose, I was at rock bottom, I signed up for the gym — five days a week — just to reclaim my "strength" which at the time I needed it mentally more than physically. Then I went deeper. Journaling. Yoga. Celery juice. Medical Medium cleanses. I started actually living the things I'd been studying for years. I escaped the relationship, I thought this was the end! Boy was I wrong-this was the beginning of a very deep healing journey. I kept healing — intentionally, obsessively, 99% of my energy poured into undoing nine years of damage as fast as humanly possible.

Then came the part I once would have been too afraid to talk about.

I'd been brainwashed to believe that energy work was dangerous — even demonic. But an energy healer helped me cut the cords connecting me to my narcissistic ex, and something in me lifted in a way nothing else had touched, instantly, magically, I no longer feared him. That was the door. I walked through it and never looked back.

I lost 85 pounds and kept it off. I healed my nervous system. I built a peaceful, beautiful life from the ground up — one that is entirely, unapologetically mine. I met the love of my life and am happily married.

And then I felt the call to stop helping people just survive — and start helping them heal. I felt deeply called to Reiki and healing at a root level-not managing symptoms. I understand what it feels like to feel trapped in your own body, to desire a life that you have no idea how to get to, and to know there's more to life than what youre being sold. I have done the work, I have created the safety in myself and I am so grateful to be able to hold this sacred space for you and help facilitate your healing too. Every single person has the ability to heal themselves- and it is my mission to help people become their happiest, healthiest and highest selves. You are so much stronger than you can imagine and i'm so honored to guide you on this journey. Everything is already inside of you, it's time to tap in!

I am a Reiki practitioner, clinical herbalist, holistic health coach, and holistic nutritionist — and I bring every single piece of that into the work I do with you. But more than any credential, I bring the truth of someone who has done this herself. Who chose healing when it was the hardest possible choice. Who knows what it costs, and what it gives back.

If you're exhausted, disconnected, or quietly falling apart while holding everyone else together — I see you. I was you.

And I know the way through.
