For me it was always pain… until it wasn’t. I spent so much time in my younger years dedicated to my own pain that I became fluent in all the ways that pain speaks to us. Physical pain took hold of my body through digestive issues, seizures, black outs and chronic pain. Emotional pain choked my heart and mental pain crippled my mind.

Until the day I had enough. 

When I was finished with my suffering, I woke up and decided it was time to truly live.

Vision stirred, and finally I was willing to answer it.

The first calling was that of curiosity… I needed answers to my soul’s questions: why are so many of us in pain? What makes us well and unwell? How are our minds and bodies linked in their relationship of health? And of course… How do we heal?

I shifted gears and began listening to what my body was trying to tell me all along. I started to develop a fluency in the many ways that the body speaks to us through sensation and emotion. I went to university to study the Psychology of health. Halfway through my degree I found myself in the Himalayas of India studying the psyche and soul through the lens of ancient Tantra. The yogic psychology held something that I felt was missing from my clinical studies in the West. I knew this was the degree I was always meant to pursue, and so I did. 

I found one master teacher after the next from all modalities of vibrational and allopathic medicine from Chinese medicine practitioners and shamans to sports physios and myotherapy bodyworkers. What I eventually began to weave together through my own experiences and the ancient teachings of many modalities was a way to make contact with our deepest self and to navigate the subterrain of everything that gets in the way from the physical to the metaphysical. 

The greatest gift in this lifetime has been my invitation to share this path with so many others through my work as a student and as a teacher.
