My Story
Healing Is Not Linear
I did not arrive here as someone who had it all figured out. I arrived here as someone who refused to stop trying.
Where It Began
The Diagnosis That Changed Everything
In my early thirties, I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition that I was told I would simply have to live with. No cure. No fix. Just management — and the quiet grief of a life that suddenly felt smaller than it was supposed to be.
But the chronic pain was not the whole story. I have had my share of trauma too — the kind that lives in the body long after the mind has tried to move on. Trauma has a way of compounding everything: the pain felt sharper, the weight harder to shift, the exhaustion deeper than sleep could fix. For a long time I carried all of it without fully understanding how much I was carrying.
For a long time, I believed them. I managed. I coped. I white-knuckled my way through days that felt like they belonged to someone else. And somewhere in that exhaustion, I gained over 50 pounds — not from laziness or lack of willpower, but from a body that was fighting so hard just to survive that it had nothing left for thriving.
In 2019, something shifted. Not dramatically — there was no single lightning-bolt moment. It was a quiet, stubborn decision to stop waiting to be cured and start choosing to be well. I began a wellness journey rooted in energy work, plant medicine, and learning to listen to my body instead of fighting it. That journey changed everything.
Over the years that followed, I released over 50 pounds — and I have kept it off ever since. Not through restriction or willpower, but through genuine healing. Through Reiki, vibrational therapy, herbal support, Qigong, meditation, yoga, and a daily practice of meeting myself with compassion instead of judgment.
The Journey
Free from the Suffering — Not the Diagnosis
I want to be honest with you about something: I still have my diagnosis. The chronic pain condition did not disappear. What disappeared was the torture layered on top of it — the inflammation, the sleeplessness, the emotional weight, the feeling that my body was my enemy. When I began my wellness journey in 2019, I had no idea how much was possible. Through Reiki, vibrational therapy, Qigong, meditation, yoga, and herbal support, I released over 50 pounds and have kept it off for three years now. More than that, I reclaimed my life.
How I Work
Meet You Where You Are
Radical Compassion
Your body has been doing its best. Every symptom, every pound, every sleepless night, every piece of trauma you have carried — these are not failures. They are signals. We begin by listening, not judging.
Whole-Person Healing
You are not a diagnosis. You are not a number on a scale. You are a whole, complex, luminous person — and that is how I treat you. We work with your energy, your body, your story.
Gentle, Sustainable Change
I am not interested in quick fixes or dramatic overhauls. I am interested in the small, consistent acts of care that compound into something real. Slow is sustainable. Gentle is powerful.
