About me
For over a decade, I worked as an occupational therapist, helping people regain independence, restore balance, and find new ways to thrive. While I loved the nurturing and caring work, I was left feeling burned out, exhausted, and depleted....
And I realized that it wasn't just the constant productivity that was draining me; it was a misalignment with Western living that took a toll on my health, causing me to suffer with insomnia, depression, anxiety, digestive issues, and hormonal problems.
So I decided to pursue more holistic methods for my healing... And by healing, I mean to restore the enthusiasm & energy I once had. I began to practice yoga & meditation more seriously. I studied nutrition to understand what my body was missing and not digesting. I discovered human design and how my body's energy operates in the world.
I investigated Eastern philosophies and ways of life, including Ayurveda, Taoism, Tai Chi, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Buddhism. All of which brought in the balance, strength, clarity, and confidence that conventional living sucked out of me.
I have incorporated these practices into my daily routine (which evolves all the time) while also sharing my knowledge, experience, and tools with others on their self-discovery and healing journey.
Now, I bring together the practical care of my OT background with holistic healing modalities to guide women toward clarity, confidence, and authentic alignment.... to meet them where they are and offer them the support to get where they want to be.
My approach is not one-size-fits-all. Instead, I weave together tools like Human Design, nutritional guidance, healing touch, Reiki, yoga, mindfulness, coaching, movement, and sensory therapy to regulate the nervous system while also enhancing one's self-awareness & healing abilities.
