Our lives are made up of the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we inherit and the stories we share with others. We are never stuck, because our stories are still unfolding.
My Story
I was the girl who climbed trees and was curious about magic. I sang songs loudly in my room, immersed myself in music and art, and created games with my imagination. I sensed the unseen layers of life — the quiet intelligence moving beneath words and appearances. I felt the currents in rooms.
As I grew, I learned to move skillfully in the physical world. I earned advanced degrees. I built a respected career in litigation. I succeeded in courtrooms and stepped into leadership.
From the outside, I was a success.
But I was no longer fully inhabiting myself.
I was succeeding in all that was asked of me — yet the constancy of it was slowly eclipsing the deeper parts of myself. Meanwhile, my beloved great aunt was nearing the end of her life. I would call her between obligations, offering her my calm, my attention, my love — even as my own inner ground was quietly eroding.
One afternoon, as we spoke, she began telling me stories about my great-grandmother — a healer from the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine, a woman I had never met but whose presence suddenly felt close.
As she spoke, something in me stirred.
Not dramatically. Not loudly.
But unmistakably.
It felt like a thread being pulled — ancestral, quiet, persistent.
After we hung up, I sat still.
And I asked the questions that begin every true initiation:
Who am I - beneath expectations?
What direction do I want my life to go in?
The answer was unmistakable:
I am a woman whose heart comes alive fully when I engage with my spiritual nature.
That knowing became a threshold I could not un-cross.
I chose my authenticity over approval. Alignment over appearance.
I became a Reiki Master Teacher and Akashic Records Practitioner. I then entered years of intensive shamanic apprenticeships, including a long-term, one-to-one mentorship with an Irish Shamanic elder with decades of practice.
Through this immersion, I learned to move fluently between the seen and unseen worlds. I journeyed through subtle realms, worked with multidimensional currents, and cultivated my discernment.
It is a way of life for me in which I chose to grow in my gifts, connect to my Soul and expand in my practice.
Today, I hold space for women who are no longer satisfied with surface spirituality — women who already sense their intuitive depth and are ready to refine it into embodied authority.
I offer courses and apprenticeships for people who are prepared to:
Strengthen their spiritual awareness
Deepen their spiritual practice
Would like to create and feel more peace and flow in life
Do shadow work with honesty and integrity
Transmute anxiety into grounded power
Reclaim the wisdom of the womb and the body.
I intentionally create intimate, interactive, supportive containers for people.
You come here to embody a deeper, more sovereign expression of yourself, to grow and to expand.
Our stories are all still unfolding.
"A story, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.” Madeleine L’Engle
From Fight-or-Fight to Flow
You told yourself it was the season. The workload. The responsibility. You adjusted your schedule, drank more coffee, slept when you could.
You are not stressed because you are weak. You are stressed because your nervous system is intelligent.
When responsibility is constant and expectations are high, the body adapts. The sympathetic nervous system activates. Adrenaline sharpens focus. Cortisol sustains output. You become efficient. Alert. Productive.
For a time, this state feels powerful.
But the body was never designed to live in sustained activation.
When urgency becomes habitual, creativity narrows. The prefrontal cortex — the seat of insight and perspective — yields to survival circuitry. Your world becomes functional, but less colorful.
You handle what needs handling.
And you override what you feel.
This is where many people misinterpret themselves. They assume the exhaustion is personal failure. It is not.
It is physiology held too long.
Unprocessed emotion does not disappear simply because you are competent. The body stores stress responses in muscle tone, breath patterns, and subtle inflammatory cycles. Tight shoulders. Guarded hips. A jaw that rarely softens.
The system is braced.
Shamanic language often calls this “blocked energy.”
Neuroscientists call it chronic activation.
And I work with it directly.
Through breath work, guided journeys, and mindfulness exercises, I teach your body how to stand down without collapsing your strength.
You do not become softer.
You become regulated.
When the parasympathetic system re-engages, something shifts:
Your breath deepens.
Your perception widens.
Your intuition becomes accessible again.
Your creativity returns.
In Shamanic language, your energy is no longer stagnant, but flowing.
In neurological terms, you restore adaptive flexibility.
Either way, you return to vitality — not adrenaline.
You were never meant to live braced against your life.
You were meant to move through it steady, discerning, and fully awake.
You deserve energy that nourishes your life — not drains it
I guide people from chronic vigilance into embodied authority. I can help you learn how to cultivate sustainable vitality, which is a foundation for intuitive clarity. We aren’t seeking to a frail life.
