My Story
I spent years helping the body heal.
For more than 15 years, I worked in the hospital caring for neonatal and pediatric patients and supporting families through some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.
I learned about resilience.
About survival.
About how much the human body can endure.
And about the incredible strength we find when life asks more of us than we ever imagined.
But while I was caring for others, there were parts of my own story I hadn't yet learned how to care for.
My journey with healing started long before I knew that's what it was.
When I was in college, I found myself in an abusive relationship.
I eventually left the relationship.
But leaving didn't mean I left everything it had done to me behind.
The relationship ended.
The trauma didn't.
For years, I carried pieces of that experience with me in ways I didn't fully understand.
I knew how to function.
I knew how to be capable.
I knew how to keep moving forward.
And I became very good at using sarcasm and dark humor to make the painful things feel a little less painful.
If I could laugh about it, minimize it, or make a joke before anyone could see what was underneath...
I didn't have to sit too closely with what I was actually carrying.
For a long time, I thought I was okay because I had survived it.
Eventually, I began to realize that surviving something and healing from it are not the same thing.
The hardest realization wasn't about what someone else had done to me.
It was realizing how deeply those experiences had affected the relationship I had with myself.
At some point in my own healing, I had to face something I hadn't wanted to admit:
I didn't truly love myself.
I could laugh.
I could take care of other people.
I could show up.
I could be strong.
I could keep going.
But underneath all of that was a woman who had learned how to survive without ever really learning how to love, nurture, and feel safe within herself.
That realization changed everything.
Because I began to understand that there were parts of me still responding to things that had happened years before.
There were beliefs I didn't consciously choose.
Patterns I didn't consciously create.
And a younger version of me who had learned things about love, safety, worth, and herself that she was never meant to carry forever.
That's when healing became something deeper.
I began doing the work of healing my inner child.
Not because I wanted to live in the past.
But because I began to understand how much of the past was still living in me.
I started becoming curious about the parts of myself I had spent years judging.
The reactions that didn't always make sense.
The walls.
The fear.
The need to protect myself.
The ways I had learned to disconnect from what I actually needed.
Instead of asking,
"What's wrong with me?"
I began asking,
"What happened that taught me I needed to be this way?"
And even more importantly:
"What does this part of me need now?"
That shift brought a level of compassion into my healing that I hadn't experienced before.
And then I began asking another question.
After spending so many years working in the hospital and witnessing physical healing, I couldn't stop wondering:
What happens after the physical healing?
What happens to everything we can't see?
The fear.
The grief.
The memories.
The beliefs we formed while we were trying to survive.
The parts of ourselves that learned to stay strong, stay quiet, stay in control, keep everyone happy, or need nothing from anyone.
Our bodies can move forward while pieces of us are still holding onto what happened.
I knew that professionally.
But eventually, I understood it personally.
And that understanding led me deeper into subconscious, emotional, intuitive, and energetic healing.
Eventually, it led me to Theta Healing®.
I began seeing my own patterns differently.
Instead of:
"Why am I like this?"
I began asking:
"What did I learn to believe?"
Instead of fighting the protective parts of myself, I began becoming curious about them.
What were they protecting?
When did I learn that I needed them?
What would happen if that younger version of me finally felt safe enough to put some of that protection down?
I began to understand that so many of the things we criticize about ourselves may have once been incredibly intelligent ways of surviving something we didn't yet know how to process.
And when you see yourself through that lens...
shame begins to make room for compassion.
My healing didn't make me a different person.
In many ways, it brought me back to myself.
It taught me that self-love isn't something we simply decide to have one morning.
Sometimes it means meeting the pieces of ourselves we've avoided.
Listening to the younger versions of ourselves we've tried to silence.
Questioning beliefs we've carried for years.
Learning that boundaries can be safe.
That receiving can be safe.
That being vulnerable can be safe.
That we don't have to earn love.
And that the person we've spent so much of our lives trying to become may actually be buried underneath everything we learned we needed to be.
I'm still human.
I'm still growing.
I'm still learning.
And I think that's important.
I don't sit across from someone because I believe I have life completely figured out.
I sit beside them because I understand what it feels like to discover that there is more underneath the surface.
This is why I do this work.
Today, I help people explore the subconscious beliefs and emotional patterns beneath the places where they feel stuck.
Not because I believe there is something wrong with them.
But because I know firsthand that what looks like a flaw on the surface can sometimes be a part of us that learned how to survive.
And I know how powerful it can be when we stop fighting that part...
and finally begin listening to it.
Sometimes healing begins by gently showing the parts of ourselves that have been protecting us for years:
You don't have to do this alone anymore.
You don't have to protect me this way anymore.
It's safe to learn something new.
My years in the hospital taught me about the body's capacity to survive and heal.
My own life taught me about the healing that happens in the places no one else can see.
And both journeys brought me here.
To this work.
To helping others uncover the beliefs beneath their patterns.
To creating a space where healing can be gentle, curious, compassionate, and deeply personal.
Because I haven't only studied healing.
I've had to walk through my own.
And I believe some of our deepest healing begins when we finally become willing to meet ourselves with the love we needed all along.
