I came to this work out of necessity

There was no flash of inspiration, no thoughts of higher calling.

I finally hit the limits of pain from my well-worn patterns, and was desperately sick of feeling held hostage by them.

My internal stories of separation, of feeling less than and inherently broken from inception, of resentment — accompanied by looping anxiety and overwhelm, (and oh, the judgments!) all conspired to hold me locked into a pattern of reinforcing these “truths” I so believed in. Living that way was painful, limiting, and exhausting — and I finally hit the point where I couldn’t live from that place anymore.

This work finally helped me achieve what years of therapy couldn’t do for me:

Find freedom from the constraints of my tightly held, painful inner landscape.

The work helped me land, feet firmly planted in what I know now to be true:

I belong.
I am connected.
I am loved.
I’m able to love.
I can access a deep sense of wellness.
Life supports me.
I have the energy and capacity to succeed.
I can thrive. 

But, don’t get me wrong, life isn’t a challenge-free open vista of joyful experience—I still have plenty of instances where I sit in pain of my own making. But what’s different is my inner resilience that enables me

to flex and adapt when indicated,
to reach for nourishment and support when wanted,
to strive for self-responsibility when I’m caught by my material,
and to recover when I stumble. 

All of this and more I wish for you.
