My story is about letting go of who I thought I was supposed to be to become who I was born to be…a leader, empath, and visionary.
I thought college soccer and becoming a therapist was my path in life. After an ACL tear, my dreams and “perfect life” crumbled. The reality I thought I knew was stripped from me and at age 17, and I fell into a deep depression that lasted for years.
In 2023, I experienced a back injury that put me on disability for a year. My health plummeted. I was barely able to walk. Another year later, I found out I had undiagnosed Lyme disease that was the underlining cause of much of my pain, fatigue, depression, and more.
My back injury humbled me and taught me that I am worthy simply because I exist, not because of what I give. This self realization and acceptance brought me to a deeper sense of love for myself. After this injury, I learned how to rest.
Through creating safety in my body I have learned to prioritize my needs so I am no longer abandoning myself to support others.
I’ve found ease through listening to my body and learning to connect to my intuition. This doesn’t mean hard things don’t happen anymore, but when you have the tools to fully feel your rage, sadness, shame, it allows you to step into your desires, truth, and joy.
Thanks to my life experiences, I have learned how to be resilient and learn to pivot. I’ve shed the skin of who I thought I was countless times in order to step into the next version of me. I know what it’s like to hit rock bottom, have no purpose or direction, and lose all hope.
I now know what it feels like to step into my inner power and thrive; to find purpose and trust my body to lead me there. I learned how to become what I desired. Happy, free, and purposeful.
From suicidal to revitalized…I learned how to reclaim my life
This didn’t happen through forcing positivity and spiritually bypassing my emotions, but to balance the duality and full spectrum of my life. My grief coexists with my joy. I don’t have to cut myself into digestible pieces for myself or anyone anymore. It has been a process of radical self acceptance and compassion that all started with beginning within.
It took a lot of letting go of who I was to step into my true, authentic self. Also, realizing that healing is not my only purpose, I am also meant to play, have fun, and live life through the lens of a child.
CORE VALUES
FREEDOM
True freedom comes from within. Meeting yourself in the mirror and choosing to liberate your body from inside out. Movement, dance, and wild self expression has created this for me.
ALIVENESS
Through my journey of choosing life, feeling alive is at the root of it all. Finding the things that ignite the purpose from within is where lasting joy and true fulfillment lives. Creating the fire from within.
PLAY
Live like a child: present, playful, & curious. Working with children taught me that we don’t need to take life so seriously, we can always start over, and presence is what helps us embody gratitude for our everyday lives.
