I know first-hand what it’s like to feel stuck, confused, and disconnected in your own body, constantly searching for answers and wondering “what’s wrong with me?”

For most of my life, anxiety felt like a part of who I was. Overthinking, intrusive thoughts, feeling overwhelmed by things that seemed “small” to other people. I experienced panic attacks (which I thought was just me overreacting) and went through cycles of depression and high anxiety to the point that I thought I had bipolar disorder.

My relationship with food mirrored the relationship that I had with myself and my body. For years, I went through cycles of control, restriction, and binge eating while trying to “fix” myself through discipline, rigidity, and “wellness” routines.

Eventually, these cycles of stress, disconnection, and my relationship with food began to manifest on a deeper level in my body. I lost my period, suffered with extreme insomnia, and began experiencing physical symptoms that I couldn’t ignore.

Over the years, my health continued to decline and my symptoms became more severe. Gut issues, constant bloating, chronic fatigue, cystic acne, full-body hives, hormone imbalances, ovarian cysts, migraines, EBV and autoimmune flares. I felt like I was at a constant war against my own body.

This led me down a rabbit hole of searching for answers. I spent thousands of dollars on traditional and functional doctors, CT scans, colonoscopies, and endless testing. This turned into a 5-year healing journey, trying every healing modality, supplement, diet, detox, and protocol I could find. This included things like parasite cleanses, liver detoxes, carnivore diet, elimination diets, vegan, acupuncture, herbs, plant medicine ceremonies, juice cleanses, the list goes on..

Some things helped, but nothing actually changed long-term.

Ironically, it started to feel like the more I tried to fix myself, search for answers, and “heal” the worse I felt.

At one of my lowest points, I started working with a somatic therapist. I didn’t fully understand what somatic therapy was or why I was drawn to it, but I was exhausted, out of answers, and willing to try something different.

Through this work I was able to come back home to my body for the first time and understand the role my nervous system was playing in everything I was experiencing.

I began to see how years of overriding my body had left me exhausted. My body had been under constant stress from ignoring its signals, pushing through, controlling, suppressing what I felt, and searching outside of myself for answers.

Slowly, I began to shift the relationship I had with myself, my body, my emotions, and the patterns that I had been living in. Learning how to live more connected to myself, listen to my inner guidance, and feel safe in my own body. I started making decisions and building a life from a place of regulation and embodiment rather than survival.

And this is when my body finally started to respond after years of trying to get to the bottom of my symptoms. Shifting out of survival allowed my body to come back into balance and regulation.

My symptoms began to shift, my relationship with food healed, my hormones stabilized, my emotions felt more steady, and I got my energy and sense of self back.

Am I fully healed? No.

I don’t believe healing is a final destination. It’s an ongoing process of coming back home to ourselves.

I believe our bodies hold an innate intelligence and wisdom that’s always guiding us toward alignment.

When we learn how to listen, support, and create safety within, it becomes a path to healing, true alignment, and a deeply fulfilling life.

This work is about going beyond your symptoms and getting to what’s underneath them. It’s about removing the layers of disconnection that keep you from fully being yourself.

Because when you feel safe in your body, connected to yourself, and no longer fighting against who you are, everything begins to shift, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

This is what allows your body to come back into balance and your life to start feeling good again.

And this is the work I now guide other women through.
