My journey to wholeness
I was born a sensitive, open little human, though I didn't understand that until I was much much older. My family has never really understood this, as is very common with energetically sensitive kids. What that ultimately translated into, for me, was years of physical, emotional and spiritual unrest and illness.
As I grew beyond adolescence, my internal barriers and protections created by my "wounded" parts were firmly in place. I was closed off from fully engaging myself in the world. Due to suppressing so much of myself over many years, eventually health and physical alignment issues began to manifest. Still, I had no real understanding of my true self or what was happening to me in my experience of life. Depression and anxiety grew in me for years, and I found it challenging to be in my body most of the time. I medicated with doctor prescribed medications and alcohol for several years in order to mask my great mental/physical/emotional/social discomfort.
Just two weeks after my 33rd birthday, I experienced sudden heartbreak and debilitating grief when my mother was killed in a car accident. It was an absolutely horrific trauma that was, in truth, a profound gift of grace for me. This loss shattered my mental and emotional construct. It was the beginning of the end of my internal walls, and I began to slowly open myself back up to experiencing life. This opening came with many challenges, as I was called to purify myself from the inside out. Old thoughts, habits, beliefs, structures, conditioning, sense of self, etc., all had to go in order to make space for me to finally arrive fully into this body, into this life.
I spent the next 10 years navigating severe health issues, ranging from a auto immune disorder, severe digestive disorder, thyroid disorder, chronic migraines, chronic body pain and fibromyalgia, ruptured L4/L5 disc, etc. By 2010, I weighed 94 lbs, was miserable in all respects and was about ready to give up on living altogether. I reached a pivotal choice point. In one moment, I felt sure I would not survive this, and in the next moment something awoke in me and I made a split second decision that I wanted to stay in this body, in this life, but I didn't want to just live, I wanted to thrive. It was as if some long lost part of me was suddenly speaking in fresh, loving and influential tones. And it happened in a flash.
From that moment on, the right help finally began to arrive through ongoing moments of grace and synchronicity. Within a few weeks from deciding to thrive I was feeling like myself for the first time. I felt hopeful and excited to be alive, and I felt better in my body. I felt free. My physical healing was my full time job over the next 2 years. I experienced a miraculous recovery, and credit goes to not only my devoted healing and nutrition practices, but I believe more so to that single moment when I chose to thrive.
Today, after devoting the rest of my life to embodying my divine true essence, I can honestly say that I am doing that, a little more and a little more every day. It is a practice. Being human comes with unique challenges for each of us. How we choose to face ourselves and embody the absolute gift of being alive is where we can express, relate, grow and love. I am deeply grateful to my mother for her sacrifice. Loving and losing her was the greatest gift I could have ever received, because it pointed me back home to my own true center, to the unconditional love within me.
It is from my years of devoted and in depth study and trainings on consciousness, emotional and physical health and harmony that I guide my students and clients to find their own unique journey back to true center and into harmony with life.
