Those who know me know how passionate I am about people, learning new things, dancing, and just about anything that gets me outdoors and into nature. My life has been anything but dull! I am a mom of 9 (yes 9 kiddos) and a sweet dog named Journey. Fortunately, I have an abundance of energy to keep up with all the crazy!

What began my journey of my own healing and self-discovery was what I call the “perfect storm” of events. Within three years I unexpectedly lost my mom, had my youngest little caboose going off to kindergarten, and was facing a heartbreaking divorce. I was confronted with the reality that I didn’t even know who I was anymore. My identity as anything more than mom and wife was nonexistent. I had a moment where I found myself asking, “Now what am I going to do with my life”? I was completely lost and felt overwhelmed flooded with emotions I didn’t have the capacity to face, I felt so empty inside. I was disconnected, confused, and filled with so much anxiety my body started using pain and even autoimmune issues began to arise to get my attention that something was off.

You see I knew how to keep busy, how to distract myself and disconnect in order to avoid and ignore the overwhelm of emotions and anxiety I was experiencing. Eventually that solution became tiresome and was my breaking point. I did what most of us do when we hit bottom, I began praying out loud asking for something, anything to help me get through this. A few days following that prayer I came across an invitation to an online Somatic Breathwork session. Little did I know this opportunity was the very thing that was going to completely change the course of my life.

I always say I didn’t find breathwork… it found me! It was the magic that taught me how to get into my body and out of my racing mind. It allowed me to tap into the unspoken wisdom within my body. Using the combination of breathwork, IFS, and Somatic coaching I got to do the inner work needed to make a change in my life. It was as if all these years I was a stranger to myself, but as I did the inner work, I got to heal my issues around abandonment, low self-worth, and co-dependency. I also found a deeper understanding of who I am and learned what self-love gets to look like. My body was being given the opportunity to heal itself by using these holistic modalities I noticed my stress and anxiety levels lowering and my autoimmune conditions began to resolve without medication. The combination of somatic coaching, IFS, and breathwork allowed me to access stored emotions, unhealthy patterns, and trauma that had been stuck in my body’s cellular memory. It was the doorway in to connecting to those younger parts of me that longed for love and attention.

Going through the work myself is what led to become certified as a Trauma Informed Breathwork Facilitator and Somatic Coach specializing in Codependency and childhood trauma. I have found the additional use of (IFS) inner child work has been key in making huge strides of deep healing and transformation. With all of these positive results I have not only seen in myself but in my clients as well.

Throughout my journey, I discovered a life that was waiting for me beyond the pain, doubt, and fear.
