I believe we all come to this world with a special gift to share, a contribution to make, something to give our life purpose. Although what exactly that special gift is may be unclear to many, the realization that now is the time to act is inescapable. A shift in energy suddenly pushes us towards growth – growth in a gentle understanding and love for who we are and for one another, and growth to discover (or rediscover) that unique gift so that we can pay it forward generously. It's a spiritual call.


For most of my life, I was who I thought you wanted me to be, who I thought I had to be focused only on what I believed needed to happen in my life for me to be happy. It was an endless pursuit of happiness. Everything and everyone I was trying to control was actually controlling me. 

Beneath the surface, under all that control I was struggling with a deep-rooted anxiety that I didn't fully understand. Traditional therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy helped me gain knowledge, but I found it challenging to apply those skills in the moment when I was feeling overwhelmed or triggered. 

Meditation seemed like the answer, but my body resisted, and I couldn't sustain a consistent practice. It wasn't until a serendipitous moment in Portugal, while I was drawing in a coffee shop, that I experienced a breakthrough. The act of slow drawing helped me quiet my mind and enter a meditative state. This discovery led me to explore other forms of art and somatic practices, which provided some relief but didn't fully address the underlying issues.

In 2022, I discovered Brain Spotting, a somatic trauma therapy. This approach was the missing piece. Initially skeptical, I was amazed by the transformative power of this simple yet profound technique.

Brain Spotting was more than just a tool for releasing emotional baggage; it was a catalyst for profound transformation. Thanks to Brain Spotting, I've been able to address and release the deep-seated emotions that were wreaking havoc on my body. Somatic practices have helped me reconnect with my body, allowing me to feel and process emotions instead of constantly analyzing them. Through intuitive art, I've learned to live in a state of regulation, escaping the extremes of fight, flight, or freeze.

This newfound regulation has been instrumental in healing my autoimmune disorders and the physical toll of those pent-up emotions. Today, I feel better than ever—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I have a sense of calm (in the midst of life still happening) that I've never experienced before.

I'm eternally grateful to all my teachers, coaches, and therapists who have supported me on this journey of healing and self-discovery. Their guidance has helped me reconnect with my true core, and I feel more connected to my center than ever before. My spirit is calmer, and I can pause now to hear the whispers of my intuition, something that was impossible amidst the noise of my past.

Because I can hear my intuition, my faith is deeper and more beautiful than ever. I've learned that my body is my medicine, and the divine is always present, guiding and supporting me through every circumstance. Today, I'm surrendering to the present moment, no longer enslaved by my thoughts and emotions. I trust that this journey itself is the destination.

The knowledge I gained through my journey, combined with my formal studies and personal experience, has become my wisdom. I am grateful for the opportunity to pay it forward by walking alongside others and witnessing their healing journeys. 

 

May all your days be filled with enough of what’s beautiful and special in your life.
