I have been where you are, facing the pain & difficulty of life's lessons, seeking answers to some faraway questions inside you; sure, there must be a better way to live. 

I searched everywhere for answers on my path, trying this and that without feeling fulfilled, never quite fitting in, I was sick and believed that I wasn't very good at anything. So, I sought education. I have decades of study, degrees, certifications, careers & work. I was an unmarried mother at 18, in a 39-year unhealthy relationship (married for 12 years). But I did not find what I was searching for. I was not happy. I was not healthy. I did not feel accepted or loved unconditionally. I was going in circles. I was sick, disconnected, and hurting from the devastation of autoimmune diseases (MS, IBS, Hashimoto's & Osteoporosis) and the impact of their pharmaceutical protocols on my body for over 40 years. I was wheelchair-bound at one time. The trauma of childhood sexual abuse also bound me, but I didn't know that yet. I was an expert enabler to my son, who for years struggled with addictions, but I believed I was helping him. I was barely existing, exhausted, knowing everything needed to change but unsure how to make that happen. 

And then, one day, none of it mattered. Not the degrees that lined my educational path. Not the needs of clients, family members, or friends. Not the old voices directing my life. Not the pills meant to make me comfortable. My life was not comfortable. I came face to face with my humanity. My body was attacking itself.  My lungs were struggling to open—medical interventions. You have three months to live. 

I did not believe that for a moment. But what did I believe? And why? 

And this is when I came face to face with my divinity. I belong here. I came here with a divine purpose.

MY SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

This was the beginning of my spiritual awakening, the moment I chose the healing path. In those dark moments, I came to understand that no one could save me but me. My soul's true work was revealed in the deep, where it was just God and me. The revelation that I am here to heal my wounds and clear anything that stands between me and my connection to the divine, that I may be in service with my true gifts. In Shamanism, this was called my initiation onto a path I actually chose long, long ago.

At the beginning of my journey, my ego was huge. I was so proud of my accomplishment, and I needed external validation, which I did not receive as a child. I came to understand how that wounded inner child was actually running my life. I have worked to surrender my ego, which opened me to seeing and accepting my true gifts and my sacred path. I know now that labels aren't important.

I am someone who loves quiet, being still, joyful, peaceful. I am creative. I like to write, sing mantras, pray, meditate and engage with friends. I love seeing those who come into my life, change their own lives, find light and heal themselves.

I am here to serve, to guide others through what I have healed: four autoimmune illnesses, a lifelong story of pain and suffering, addictions to non-stop pain medications, codependency, rescuing, and low self-worth. I can tell you now that my connection to the Divine is clear, and I am at peace with why my soul came to earth this incarnation. I surrender to the path of unconditional love, where my true gifts continue to emerge in the light and teachings of Jesus.
