For much of my life, I carried invisible wounds, experiences that shaped how I saw myself, how I moved through the world, and how deeply I could trust others.

Much of this began in childhood, rooted in experiences I wasn’t equipped to process at the time. I endured abuse, neglect, and years of gaslighting that caused me to question my reality, my worth, and my voice.

As I grew older, the effects showed up in many ways: struggles with addiction, deep-seated confidence issues, and the emotional weight of complex PTSD. I often felt stuck in survival mode, hyper-aware, emotionally exhausted, and disconnected from any real sense of peace or safety within myself.

Yet even in my darkest moments, a quiet part of me kept reaching for something more.
For healing. For meaning. For a deeper connection to the part of me that had never been broken.

That search led me to holistic healing modalities alongside traditional therapy. What began as an effort to survive became a journey of learning how to support myself in a completely different way.

I discovered the body’s capacity to release what it had been holding, the nervous system’s ability to shift, and the power of creating change in a way that felt supportive instead of overwhelming.

Through practices like Reiki, sound healing, meditation, and somatic awareness, I began to feel safe again. I learned how to meet myself with compassion. I learned how to trust myself. And over time, I began to rebuild not only my sense of self, but my life.

And with that came something else, an understanding that healing isn’t just about what we release, but also about how we move forward.

That’s what led me into wellness coaching.

Because I know what it’s like to want change… and to struggle to maintain it.
To feel stuck between where you are and where you want to be.

Now, my work is about supporting others in creating meaningful, sustainable change, using what they’ve experienced not as something that holds them back, but as something they can learn from, grow through, and move forward with.
