About
My Story
My journey to this work began over a decade ago, when the calls started coming in with the news that another friend had fallen victim to the opioid crisis. With each overdose and memorial I attended, I grew increasingly unsettled. We were also witnessing a rise in school shootings, suicide rates, and mental illness. I felt a deep inner calling to take action, though I didn’t yet know my role. I returned to school for a degree in psychology, focusing on chemical dependency and addiction recovery. The emphasis was on treatment—how to respond to the problem—but less on prevention. Each night, as I held my babies, I wondered how to protect their joyful innocence, their wholeness. By witnessing my children come into this world, I realized that we all start out like this- pure and untainted. What was pulling our youth so far off track? I knew change was essential and action was necessary. Thus began my quest to uncover the root of the problem, and then get to work.
I gravitated toward the field of positive psychology, which significantly informed my research in interdisciplinary social studies. I examined the history of human development and civilization, exploring the etiology of religious persecution, war, racism, and genocide, using data from both the U.S. and global contexts. As I delved into early childhood development and societal conditioning, I began to notice a common thread linking these seemingly separate areas. I knew on deep level that somehow it all fit together.
What I learned was a complete paradigm shift from the predominant beliefs in our culture about raising children. Much of what we accept as truth is fundamentally backward. We focus on compliance and obedience, often rewarding those who follow the herd and adhere to authority. We celebrate selflessness while teaching our children to seek guidance from external sources, neglecting their internal guidance. This model is problematic, and harmful and is at the heart of many challenges we see in society today.
I came to realize that the goal of parenting is not to raise children who will obey, look to authority for direction, or conform to fit it. When we discourage our kids from being different to avoid standing out or rocking the boat, what message are we sending them? What are the potential consequences when faced with peer pressure? The effect of this conditioning is profound. This deepened my understanding of the challenges we face. I became a certified Positive Discipline Parent Coach, feeling a strong need to share my discoveries with as many people as possible. I intuitively understood that this knowledge could create a ripple effect once it gained momentum.
Meanwhile... I thought I was doing everything I was supposed to. Career, marriage, home, children. I was checking all the boxes, but something wasn't right. It started as a whisper, and as time went on the whisper grew louder. It started to manifest as physical symptoms in my body - migraines, pain and exhaustion. I finally allowed myself to slow down and turn inward, and I was able to access a clear knowing:
Surrender
Let Go of Everything You Think You Should Be, and Embrace Everything You Are
Peace and warmth washed over me. This began my quest to reconnect with my intuition and seek the truth in every step I take. I made a commitment to do the inner work daily, and I discovered true alignment happens when we are balanced in mind, body, and soul. My daily intention is to find ways to bring forth that balance, and incorporate these practices into my every day life.
Now, each morning I wake up excited for my day. My life is infused with daily joy and wonder, along with profound grief and pain, for this is the human experience. Moment by moment, I tune in to my intuitive wisdom, and I'm able to see there is so much meaning and beauty in all of it. This understanding has become the steady undercurrent of my life, and it has allowed for true inner healing to take place. Which has led me to you.
Here you will find a safe and sacred space to explore your own inner landscape. Together, we'll cultivate beautiful daily practices that work for you, ones that will lead you back to your own inner compass, your intuitive wisdom.
