I am beyond excited to offer this incredible journey to help you release & align with your true purpose, your spark, your gloWithin!

I have held this secret in for the last 13 years out of shame and embarrassment, but now it needs to be shared. In 2007 I had a near death experience (NDE). In this moment I made a conscious choice to reconnect with my body, from which I had become completely disconnected from in the over 10 years prior. As a child I see now I intuitively practiced somatic work, backbends and other movements to release energy and emotions with breath. I was very connected to my body and intuition, but my body became an unsafe space to be, and due to how we are socialized I started to not trust my intuition. Perhaps you can relate?

In this experience, I begged myself to come back knowing it was not my time to leave yet. The next 24 hours was an experience of absolute awe, joy, and pain as I released years of repressed trauma. I was able to appreciate these experiences were gifts in my growth, and carried this objective perspective forward trusting. Insights flooded me as I reconnected with my intuition. This experience turned my life upside down in both positive and confusing ways, leaving me feeling very alone, misunderstood, and unable to connect with others in a deeply, meaningful way.

Growing up I always wanted meaningful, real connections but now I felt an overwhelming unconditional love for others, seeing their inner child, their wounds, and their protective motivations. I felt deeply connected to my childhood purpose of protecting children and bringing greater peace, love, and joy into the world. As you may imagine, I was just as confused how to do this as I was when I was a child.

Like many who have had spiritual awakenings, be it through loss, breathwork, plant medicine, out of body experiences, illness or accidents, my life was shifting. I left the corporate world, and returned to my teaching and healing gifts. No one understood what I was doing and why. It was an incredibly lonely time, as I searched everywhere to understand what had happened in the context of our science and current language. I saw healers, I spent hours reading and meditating. I was wide awake and struggling how to integrate the changes and the impacts it was making in my career and social circles. I went through bouts of depression and anxiety, not sure what to do with all this information and the next steps. I began to understand I needed to absolutely surrender and trust in the process that was unfolding, not easy for an impatient person who liked to check everything off her list!

Does any of this feel familiar?

Over the last few years it seems more people have been having spontaneous out of body experiences (OBEs) or searching for spiritual awakening. Sometimes this is through breathwork, plant medicine, or other means. Unfortunately all to often it is done in unsafe ways, in large groups where guides don't have the capacity or trauma-informed awareness as to what happens and how to support integration. How do I know this? Many of my clients come to me for this reason. It's not a one and done event. It's a process that requires integration support for up to a year or maybe even longer! Spiritual awakenings are huge shifts that affect every aspect of our life, yet there is very little awareness or support around this.

I believe as a human race we are being asked to wake up and create positive change for in world. We are reawakening to our spiritual selves, which perhaps is connected to differentiating ourselves from AI. In many ancient and Indigenous cultures, these experiences are celebrated and the individual is cared for by elders, however; in our individualistic, science based society we are just beginning to understand and stop stigmatize these experiences as a mental health concern.

This is one reason I started my community space, and why I created this course and community. While this transformation may present challenges, with the right support this is an incredible gift to step into our true strength and live a more aligned, peaceful and joyful life!

I am here to support you on this journey my fellow Light Worker,
