Nature is the ultimate healer. We are the conduits. We each enter healing relationships for all sorts of different reasons, all worthy of tender care and compassionate attention. Underneath it all, we yearn for connection and wholeness, to feel greater positive energy and peace within. We sense our and others' energetic patterns. We want to connect with the Truth of ourselves, and in doing so, connect with the collective community of souls also doing this deep and vital work.

If we are brave enough to reach out for new desires and goals for integration, and our simple need to start feeling better in our bodies, minds, and spirits- there is always something to release. Old patterns in our tissues and nervous systems, old connections between our heads and our hearts, our shallow breath released into our bellies, and the prerequisite to shed tears that have been walled up inside for years or even decades. To give ourselves unconditional permission to fall apart, both in our private moments and within the sacred spaces of community, is at the beginning of our journey of coming together and landing in a new place. This new energetic and physical space feels much more like home, with head and heart in joyful balance, with bones, flesh and feet rooted firmly in the ground.

In my personal journey through shedding a traumatic past and stressful, toxic, neglectful relationships that bound me energetically, I began crying a million tears to shed the pain and grief of loss. I knew I needed healing relationships to bear witness and help. My healer humans emerged right on time, one by one- therapists, body workers, light workers, old friends and new. I have thankfully, several years later, landed in that joyful balance and a groundedness I did not know was possible. I felt very frightened and alone when I started, not knowing if or when I would land in a place I would feel more like myself again. I had a knowing of what I needed and just kept at it. For me, it was a lot of letting go of ‘higher’ education and head knowledge in order to rebalance and see clearly into my next round of shadow work and my next level of healing.

Being a nutritionist and wellness professional sometimes stood in my way, and sometimes grounded me. At times, I held on to physical healing way too tightly and didn’t yet have the staying power to look closer at the emotional, esoteric, and energy healing realms. I held so tightly to my unconscious beliefs that held me hostage and thwarted my healing. Many of those beliefs, as it turned out, were not even mine! And in many ways, what I have learned through sitting and working with hundreds of clients over the years gave me perspective and permission to find my own way and use physical healing as a foundation for the psychological and spiritual healing that is now my life’s work. I originally entered the field of nutritional healing through my interest in psychology and anthropology.

Now in my forties, I have a knowing, confidence, and a clarity that is unfuckwithable. I look forward to holding space for every client that walks through my doors or lands in my ‘zoom room’ the way space was held for me, with as much grace and fire as I was given. A’ho! I dedicate my daily practice to all those who showed me the way.

As within, so without, as above, so below, as the universe, so the soul.
