My Journey
For much of my life, I struggled need for external validation, and a feeling of disempowerment, leaving me disconnected from my authentic self. I believed love depended on external achievements, leading to people-pleasing and neglect of my own needs.
Expressing my desires was difficult because I often didn’t know what they were. I felt like a victim of life’s unexpected turns, relying on strong opinions and defensiveness as coping mechanisms.
Despite having a seemingly successful life—a corporate career, marriage, children, and a home—I felt lonely, anxious, and sensed there was more to life. My job had become monotonous, my marriage felt distant, and I struggled to be present for my children. Stress led me to seek temporary escapes, like drinking, while underlying anxiety made me crave control and certainty.
A transformative spiritual experience occurred one night after an argument with my husband. As I looked into my eyes in the mirror, I felt a calm and heard my higher self ask, “Are you ready? Are you done pretending and hiding?” I answered “Yes,” and decided to embark on a journey of self-discovery and fulfillment.
I always knew I was meant to help others reconnect with their true selves, but fear held me back. Overcoming this fear, I started practicing in energy healing – training as a Sentaura Healing Practitioner.
I continued to learn more about trauma and understanding why I was the way I was and working to release this via somatic practices. I found this was very effective for me and so I trained in somatica therapy and now am a Somatic Therapist.
I’m also a mother of two wonderful children who teach me unconditional love and have an incredible husband with whom I’ve shared life for 19 years.
