My childhood was great in many ways and difficult in others. The details of my challenges aren't relevant for this story. What's relevant to share today is that I had emotional needs in my childhood that didn't get met, so when I grew into my physical adult body I had the emotional consciousness of that child with unmet needs.

​

I began to experience the consequences of my unmet needs as soon as I got to college. Low confidence, self-abandonment, estrangement from my family, troubled romantic relationships, unfulfilling work, mysterious health problems and dis-ease ruled my reality. To cope, I acted out with anger, set up walls for boundaries, tried to control everyone and everything around me and committed to only relying on myself. I acted in with self-numbing behaviors and put extraordinary pressure on myself to be perfect in every way.

When I discovered the world of personal development and self-help books, I entered an even more painful reality of obsessively looping through trying to fix and heal what I thought was broken in me. In just 2 years, I spent a shocking amount of money inside the transformational coaching world and in the process became emotionally dependent on teachers, communities and modalities to make me whole again.

​

I'll admit, I made some wonderful changes and experienced some flashy "success"  during that time but I was still troubled by two things:

(1) Deep down I still thought I was broken because there were deeper layers integration and emotional embodiment work to do. What was different now was a growing awareness that the work needed to be sourced from within rather than without.

(2) I was trying to start and sustain a business but kept starting and stopping, feeling like a fraud, "failing" at launches and exhausting myself because all of what was emotionally unresolved for me expressed itself perfectly in my workings in business.

​

From these two areas of initiation and growth over the last decade come the offerings I share with you today.
