It's Time to heal.

Is there any part of your life where you feel stuck? Love. Connection. Work. Relationships. Meaning. Do you find yourself trying harder and harder and getting more and more stressed and overwhelmed? Are you feeling increasingly anxious, sad, ashamed, conflicted, or numb?

First of all, there's nothing wrong with you. We are all doing the best we can in every moment with what we know. Everything that we know and believe has been taught to us through our families, cultures, and systems that we live in. The good news this, everything that we have learned can be unlearned, and we can gently learn and embody what is most true for us now.

Healing is possible. Getting different results in this lifetime is possible. And we are not meant to walk this path alone. If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, this is a good thing. It means your body is sending you a clear message: It's time to do something different. You may not have listened before, but you can start listening now. Are you ready to deep dive into your own healing and to heal not just at the level of the leaves, but at the roots?
Yes, I'm ready to heal.

​If you're reading this, there's a healthy dose of hope and readiness inside of you to live a better life: Less loneliness, more fulfillment. Less chaos, more stillness. Less superficial bs, more meaning. Access to deeper levels of love, connection, and intimacy that you have always deserved and are finally ready to receive.

I promise you this is possible. All of it. How?

Imagine pushing a wheelbarrow. When you push a wheelbarrow along the same path again and again, you get stuck in a rut which will return you to the same place every time. This is great, unless you don't like the place where you keep ending up.

I'm here to help get you up and out of that old rut and onto fresh ground. From there, you get to choose a path that is nourishing and honors all of who you are.

Our work together will involve loving course-correction to restore you to the truest version of yourself in this lifetime. I am here to support you every step along the way. Let's make real, deep, sustainable changes that are true to who you are and how you want to live and be in this lifetime.

"You alone must do the work necessary to change your life, but you cannot do it alone." -Nikki Myers

I never reached out for help. 
I didn't want to be a burden. Convinced that I could (had!) to do everything alone, I did my best to keep things together and make sure everything looked good (especially on social media). The problem was, no matter how filtered and perfect things looked on the outside, my inner world was in shambles. I was exhausted. Even if I was fooling everyone else, I couldn't fool myself.

The first step that I took towards saving myself was making the decision to do it. The next step that I took was reaching out for help. It was hard, humiliating, and humbling. It also saved my life and transformed it into one that I am grateful to wake up to every day.

If you are ready to save and reclaim your own life, truth, and joy, I am here to support you. You don't have to do everything alone anymore. I've got you.
​
I'm ready to reclaim my life.
