My Journey: From Corporate Corridor to Sanctuary.

In 2013, I was offered my first professional coach when I stepped into a new director role. I was always hungry for growth and admittedly felt a bit under-qualified, so I jumped at the opportunity. I was blown away by how helpful it was—and we weren’t just talking about work. That experience was my first introduction to the truth that we are "whole people." The idea that you can simply "leave your personal stuff at the door" when you walk into work is not only a myth; it’s a practice that does us no favors.

During that time, I experienced a profound loss when a long-standing member of my team passed away during our busiest season. I was heartbroken, in over my head, and struggling to hold space for my team while processing my own grief. During the day, I put on a "strong face" to keep our deliverables moving; at night, I would stay late to clear out her workspace, finally letting the tears flow.

"When we brought in a therapist to support the staff, I joined the group. After we shared stories and wept together, an employee came up to me and said she was so glad to see me cry—because, from what she had seen, she wasn’t sure I cared. It was a pivotal moment. I realized she hadn’t seen the private tears I shed after hours; she only saw the armor I wore at work. That moment sticks with me today: the profound power of showing up as a human being, not just a manager."

As I continued working with my own coach, I became deeply curious about the process—the "how" and "why" behind the transformation. That curiosity led me to train as a coach with iPEC. It was life-changing. I learned to acknowledge the judgments I held against myself and others, trading them for genuine understanding and deep curiosity.

For many years, I identified as a "recovering Catholic," believing that if I wasn’t religious, I couldn’t be spiritual. I had dipped my toes into yoga classes here and there, but in the summer of 2023, I walked into a class at Wild Root Yoga and never looked back. I walked in for the movement, but I stayed for the peace—a sense of stillness I hadn't known was possible.

From there, the doors to healing opened wide. Through my first Reiki session, I found insights and healing beyond what I had ever imagined. In May 2024, I experienced a Kundalini awakening—a moment that was equal parts exciting and nerve-wracking, leaving my body vibrating with joy. I knew then that I wanted to be trained in Reiki, not just to learn it, but to learn how to channel the energy I had awakened. I learned that you cannot "turn off" this energy once it is present; you can only learn to control, refine, and channel it.

As my yoga journey deepened, I expanded my focus beyond asanas, completing my 200-hour training. Along the way, I discovered vibrational sound therapy. During my Reiki training, a practitioner used bronze singing bowls to help open my energy, and the sensation was one of the most relaxing experiences of my life. I knew I had to share that resonance with others.

Today, these practices are the foundation of my work. I have moved from the corporate world to creating a sanctuary—a place where you are welcomed exactly as you are, where you are invited to soften, and where you are reminded that your body, heart, and spirit are whole.

I’m here to walk beside you on your journey. Let’s find your light, feel your resonance, and embody your bliss.
