I believe that the purpose of life is to know oneself. True transformation begins with self-awareness—the courage to look inward with honesty and compassion. We create our reality through our thoughts, beliefs, actions, and words, giving us the power to change our circumstances and how we respond to them.

My journey has been anything but linear. It’s been a spiral, frequently returning to the same lessons until I was ready to embrace them. I once numbed myself to pain with alcohol, avoiding parts of myself I wasn't ready to confront. After entering a 12-step program in my twenties and maintaining sobriety for over a decade, I faced new challenges: marriage, infertility, motherhood, postpartum depression, and relapse.

Grief became my greatest teacher when my 17-month-old niece, Reese, passed away. In my darkest moments, I turned to sound healing instead of medication, learning that healing means moving through pain rather than escaping it.

This realization inspired me to explore meditation, EMDR therapy, tai chi, journaling, and shadow work, reshaping how I perceive suffering. I discovered that true transformation happens when we approach ourselves with curiosity rather than judgment. It's about rising every time we fall and learning to trust ourselves while breaking free from generational patterns.

Today, I guide others in reclaiming their lives as conscious creators. Currently, I am studying Archetypal Consulting through Caroline Myss and completing Wayfinder Life Coach training with Martha Beck. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from FSU, but my work focuses on empowerment, not therapy.

I see myself as the Damsel that woke to the truth that saving herself was her responsibility; the Addict who realized she was powerless over everything except her own choices; the Mother who began to see the power in breaking generational patterns; and the Healer who came to know herself so she could help others to know themselves. My purpose is to help others find meaning in their lives. If you’re ready to explore the parts of yourself you’ve been avoiding—to shift from fear to love and unconscious reactions to conscious creation—I would be honored to walk alongside you.

This is your journey. Your awakening. It begins with a single step.
