“I’ll take care of myself for you. You take care of yourself for me.”

My favorite quote, one of my favorite quotes, and I don't even know who said it, "I'll take care of myself for you. You take care of yourself for me." It's just empowering. And it just lets us know that, it gets us out of the selfish aspect and makes us more selfless. But by being selfless, we can take care of the whole. That's my favorite quote right now. What do I like about healing and my gifts? What I love about healing and my gifts is the fact that I get to offer to somebody what I once needed when I was younger. So everything that I offer right now is exactly what I needed at some point in my life. I grew up in a very loving household, but emotionally unsafe household. So I needed to know that there was safety involved. So when I do my work, it is literally about creating a safe environment so I can fall apart and even safer environment so I could put myself back together. There's no piece of us that is broken, but we feel as if we're broken many times. So I love that aspect about my gifts is that I'm giving to someone what I needed. And I see myself in so many people. So if I see myself in so many people, there's a good chance that they may have needed what I needed as well.
How do I view the synthesis of coaching and creative modalities and how they provide growth for humans? I believe each one of us is born with our own unique medicine for the world. We all have our own medicine and it's very unique and the world is waiting us. The world needs us to show up authentically as ourselves with our own uniqueness. And this is what the world needs. The trick is we have to take this medicine for ourselves, just like we would, if we were taking care of sick people, we would take our medicine first and then take care of the world. The thing is, we become this homogenized thing. We've been told what we're supposed to be, but that doesn't work. Some people are that thing, but we all have our own uniqueness to the world and the world needs our uniqueness, cuz there's creativity in the uniqueness and we're all missing pieces of the puzzle. If each one of us can show up authentically as we are ourselves, this is where the healing happens amongst the world. It happens in our little bubble and then my bubble bumps into your bubble and there's healing that happens there. Your bubble bumps into another person, it's this collaborative effort of each one of us being unique. So, acknowledge our similarities and celebrate our differences. So that's where the medicine lies.
At 29 years old, I had major back surgery that left me physically devastated and mentally depressed. I could barely walk and was riddled with crippling panic attacks. After numerous unsuccessful appointments with doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists, nothing seemed to work. This is where I discovered energy work and hypnotherapy as well as the correlation with how the body holds on to past traumas and the energetic imprint of these pained stories. What I also discovered is how this traumatic moment in my life that I originally labeled as “bad” turned out to be the greatest gift I had ever received. I was forced to stop running around and get in tune with my life. Corporate career paths that I assumed I should be on came to a screeching halt and every breadcrumb laid before my eyes led me to the exact location I needed to be…they all led directly back to me.
As an Intuitive Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Energy Practitioner of my own medicine, I would love to assist you back to yourself. This is where true healing happens. I also believe that what we put into our bodies matters as well. With a background in Culinary Arts and Herbalism, what we eat or drink makes a difference. Yet there is no one size fits all approach. What may be good for me may not be positively impactful for you. This is where we listen to what our bodies are telling us. Before, during and after eating!
As an empath and an exceptionally deep feeler who has experienced sexual trauma, shame, abandonment, physical pain and being at least 60 pounds overweight, I learned that we need to listen to our bodies and then show up for ourselves. It would be an honor for me to assist you to show up for yourself. There is no piece of you that is broken. It is just time to surrender to what you are running from in order to transition and transform into a place of peace and empowerment. Together we can guide you there.
