You’ve changed.
Now let your life
feel like YOU.

It all began with wanting to express myself.

In 2020, the day before my 32nd birthday, I was so fed up with hurting + holding so much inside. So I made a wish: “All I want for my 32nd birthday is to express myself.”

I’d been writing my whole life + helping women share their messages and bring their ideas to life. Meanwhile, I was polishing my own life into the “love + light” version, leaving my addiction and chronic physical + emotional pain outside the frame.

I wanted to do, be, have, + say so much more. I just had NO idea what would change – or how much.

Then, a few short weeks after making that wish, I was shaken awake.

As I watched everything going on in the world that year, I started questioning the narrative + sharing my opinions openly, without any filter. I learned I could speak, have people disagree with me, + still stand by what I believed.

That experience led me to deepen my spirituality + open my heart to Jesus outside the confines of religion. It also helped me get radically honest about the kind of life I wanted to truly live.

That summer, I wrote down three more things that I wanted: palm trees, sunshine, community. I didn’t know the “how.” I just knew I needed to finally claim what I wanted + start letting go of what I no longer loved.

This led to a series of moves + new life transitions.

My whole life was now coming into question.

The raw honesty I’d been bringing to what was happening “out there” had begun turning inward. What’s happening in MY life? Where am I still settling? What needs to change? In my marriage? My health? My work?

By 2021, the questioning and the changes became more + more rapid.

Weed had begun loosening its grip until one night I was DONE. After a decade of addiction, I was able to quit overnight, and the craving never came back. I still had chronic pain, but I wanted to find out how to feel better without getting high.

To support that change, I went all in on plant-based eating + detoxed my body. As I began feeling healthier, I felt clearer mentally + more connected spiritually, too. I started seeing my relationships + family dynamics differently.

This led to facing the childhood sexual abuse I’d spent years numbing + running from. That changed how I understood my entire life:

What I’d accepted. What I’d learned to believe about myself. The relationships I was in + the ways I’d learned to function inside of them.

From there, I began setting stronger boundaries, stepped away from painful family dynamics + relationships, and chose my own inner peace over external approval.

This helped me heal the chronic physical pain I’d lived with for years + become much stronger mentally, emotionally, + physically. I felt amazing!

I thought there was hope for my marriage, too, and we even moved to Florida! Palm trees. Sunshine. And I also had a new, supportive community of women I’d connected with. It seemed the vision I’d claimed was coming to life.

But by 2022, everything had come to a screeching halt, and I could no longer ignore the glaring signs. It was finally time to end my marriage.

Fourteen years together, married for six – and it came down to him or me. I chose myself.

We didn’t have children or a house to divide, but there was still a shared life to untangle, post-separation abuse, learned betrayals, + a smear campaign to walk through. It was hard, messy, painful, + confusing... and for a time, I didn’t feel so amazing anymore.

This led to speaking openly about the abuse I’d experienced, and putting words to things I’d spent years holding inside. The wish to express myself had become much bigger than I’d imagined. I was finally telling my own story.

Over those two years, my world kept unraveling, and it completely changed how I related to myself + to the world.

I was starting all over from scratch + building an entirely new identity. I was even inspired to change my name for a truly fresh start.

So much change in a short period of time! And it was only the beginning.

Moving to Hawaiʻi.

In 2023, a few months after my divorce was finalized, I booked a one-way ticket to Honolulu with no Plan B. The move was both for my personal safety + another fresh start. And I was scared.

Moving hadn’t ended everything I was facing. I was still healing, afraid of what might happen next, + finding my footing somewhere entirely new.

There were beautiful days of swimming, exploring, + writing. Days when I wanted connection. But also days when I just wanted to hide.

The messy middle lasted a while.

I’d made enormous changes, made it across the ocean, + was living somewhere I wanted to be. But I still had to learn how to feel safe enough to LIVE this new life.

There was a whole new everyday life to get to know: where I belonged, who I got to know, how I wanted to work, + so much more – while still healing from my past.

Bit by bit, as my nervous system began to settle, I had more room to ask: Who am I NOW? What kind of life do I want to build here?

What do I want to do, say, + wear? What do I want to create + experience? How do I want my home to feel?

I had to be willing to try things without knowing how they’d turn out, change my mind, + let each experience teach me more about myself.

Throughout that time, I drew on my mind-body + creative practices to work through the fear, doubt, + grief that came up as I began choosing differently. I was putting my training into practice in my own life, while continuing to learn + grow.

That’s what I bring to this work.

What began as wanting to express myself changed how I cared for my body, what I believed, + what I was willing to accept. Finding my voice helped me make choices I hadn’t been ready to make. And each new beginning asked me to get to know myself again.

That’s what I bring to my work with women: my training + lived experience of rebuilding a life, finding my voice, + learning to trust what I want.

I know what it’s like to change so much + still be learning how to live differently. To feel excited about what’s possible, while parts of your life still feel unfamiliar.

I understand being free, AND still learning how to LIVE that freedom. And what’s needed to walk this path and to start becoming who you truly are.
