Here is my story

I practiced social work for over 8 years with a passion for making life better for those who really seemed to need help. I found that the task was really challenging especially with the social system and its limitations, working daily around layers of deep mental and physical illness. My time as a social worker ended as I found myself spiraling deeply into an experience of life-threatening depression.

I found that I was experiencing other symptoms including severe anxiety, allergy induced asthma, and symptoms of fibromyalgia that I felt unable to work for over a year. I contemplated suicide every day for over 2 years.

I had come to a place of total desperation, willing to try anything that could possibly help. Over the years I worked with psychotherapists, psychiatrists, a nutritionist, acupuncturists, hypnotherapists, and other holistic healers. I took pharmaceuticals, herbs, supplements, and changed my diet.

Initially I tried the western approach of taking pharmaceutical medications but when I found that they weren’t working for me, I realized that what I really needed was to heal rather than cover up my experience. I began my own healing path back to health, wellbeing and freedom.

Much of my healing came from the support of professionals which may have saved my life. One of the most impactful turning points for me on my path was the day that I really looked at the reoccurring thoughts and images of suicide that kept running through my mind. I realized that there was comfort in them - a way out; but I also knew that these thoughts were keeping me stuck. I finally decided that I would never allow myself to act on the ideas and images and that I would stop letting myself hold on to a back door. When I made this decision, everything changed.

I also realized that it was necessary for me to really address my inner pain to heal my outer symptoms. Out of the many holistic approaches that I experienced, the two that have really made the most sense for me, are hypnotherapy and energy healing. I have pursued their education and practice for the benefit of others as well as for myself. This is not to say that the others are not beneficial. They are. In my experience, these two modalities, address the deepest root of our difficulties. Everything else builds from there.

What I also found was that this life breakdown became a point of awakening for me. I pursued a spiritual path that helped me to make sense of what was happening and allowed me to release what was not working for me so that I could align and harmonize with the truth of my self.

I remember telling a dear friend of mine during some of the most difficult parts of this unfolding, “I feel like I’m dying”. I remember us both feeling sad, scared and lost. I now look back at that and understand that I was going through an important breaking down of what I had become in order to be “renewed” into what I am today.

It’s like that saying, “When a caterpillar sees a butterfly, does it know?” I’m not sure that it does but I do believe that the butterfly always remembers that it was once a caterpillar. Sometimes I have to remember to have compassion for my caterpillar. Most of the time, I am very grateful to God that I was able to go through over two years of cocooning, breaking down and rebuilding to become what I am now. My tears now are of gratitude.

Since having moved through this difficult period and having come back into service with greater wisdom, power and freedom, I have come to find out that I am a 3rd generation healer. It’s an exciting confirmation to find that the art of healing runs in my family. I have also traveled to over 30 countries on 6 continents, lived and worked in four countries, and traveled with my best friends as well as on my own.

I now live in the beautiful Topanga Canyon with my beloved life partner and give great thanks for my life. What my experience has taught me is that illness is a gift and a teacher and that what we call symptoms are simply a perfect feedback mechanism seeking to communicate with us about where we are holding ourselves separate from our essential nature which is always in a state of wellbeing. I’ve also learned that we all have an extraordinary ability to heal ourselves - of anything!
