The only solution my doctors had as to how I would cope with my illness was medication and welfare. The idea of spending the rest of my life medicated, living in poverty on government subsidies, and without a purpose or profession was not an option for me.  

Instead, I searched everywhere for answers. I studied approaches to healing and wellness like yoga and Ayurveda, meditation, nutrition, Pilates, Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, and Continuum. I apprenticed with a bio-energetic body-psychotherapist, healer and sound therapist. I got a PhD focusing on the questions I was trying to answer.

I learned that I was a hyper-sensitive empath who not only cared deeply about the pain of others and of the world; I could also feel it in my body.

Everything that I could not detach from; whatever reality I could not accept; however I could not love what was, as it was, I felt pain.

So I learned to love better – myself, others, the world.

I learned that our biggest challenges are also our greatest gifts. Pain, conflict, and crisis wake us up to a journey of healing that can be the most beautiful of blessings.

The practice that came out of this experience calls on the power of love to heal, and the strength of our inner guidance to show us how to live more joyful, heartful, healthy lives. I can show you how.
