I am a healing craft. One who understands that after decades spent in a victim roll, I chose the parents that brought me into this world, which was not an easy childhood to survive. They were divorced before I turned 2, and by 9, I was traumatized by abuse. A dark beginning, riddled with neglect, I questioned everything, perpetually asking, why me? In my Roman Catholic family I denounced God, believed in nothing, and struggled to find myself and any meaning to this human existence. I felt like the black sheep that didn’t belong while trapped in my own thoughts. Like I was lost at sea, afraid of wanting to die, or worse to live each day barely afloat. Bobbing up and down, like an old, weathered buoy, tethered to the back corner of my mind. I felt alone for most my life. Dubbed shy and quiet, a wall flower adorned for my beauty. I hated every compliment my Mom was so pleased to receive about me, which continued to fuel the insecurity within, as I struggled to understand who I was beyond my looks. I preferred the company of animals over people, I was lucky to spend lots of time with horses, who taught me the importance of trust and the subtleties of energy. 

In adolescence things got way worse before better. In 1993 as I was preparing to graduate high school, I met a boy (who I later married, then divorced) who saw my light and encouraged me to shine. He intuitively knew, and deeply cared, that something big was broken. I fell hard and fast in love with him, and with his support and guidance, I broke my silence. Standing in my truth sparked the beacon to brighten, and illuminate my Soul’s journey. Things started falling into place and my path began to unfold in front of me as I begun to heal the past. With talk therapy, meditation, yoga and a lot of time connecting with Nature, these practices gave me faith and hope that something Divine does exist, but unlike the God my family believed in. I came to understand that God exists in me and in everything. I feel fortunate to have grown up near Long Island Sound where I would sit and gaze over the ever expanding blue, where water meets the sky, and feel peace while connecting to something greater than myself. Communing with Nature, my new Church, I could feel the warmth and glow from the depths of my center, that beacon of light continually call to me.

These methods lit up my dharma and helped me digest my life experiences as part of the universal plan for my evolution. Every challenge, struggle, and fight we face makes us stronger and more prepared for the life we are destined to live. I have been training my whole life to be this vessel to healing. Through my combined methods and experiences, I am well equipped to guide others home to themselves. When we know ourselves in this deep way, we find a better relationship with our breath and our energy. Where we are imbalanced to access the root of our physical and emotional pain, not only healing ourselves, but our relationships, our life, and even the world!
