My Journey

I grew up in the deep South, and as a result, I have nice manners, a love of beauty and an accent. I have a loving and truly amazing family, and a ton of gratitude for the warmth, safety and belonging I felt as a child.

I also grew up learning to be small, never speak up and be a pleaser. Women weren't encouraged to be active, creative and self-fulfilled, and as I got older this became difficult to reconcile. There were a lot of mixed messages: "You can do anything you want!" combined with "Make sure whatever you do lines up with what other people approve of." It was frustrating. I was doing so much out of obligation instead of from a place of joy. The things that really lit me up were often at the very bottom of my priority list, and I had a hard time completing things and feeling accomplished.

When I was 29 years old my life fell apart.

By this time I had followed all the "rules". I had gotten an masters in art history. I was happily married to my college sweetheart, and we had a beautiful baby girl. I thought I was doing everything "right". We had a good life, but underneath the pretty exterior things weren't so perfect.

My husband hated his job and dreaded going to work everyday. I was feeling heavy, anxious and overwhelmed. The things I had worked for were not that fulfilling, but I had no idea how to change it. We thought if we just kept going it would all resolve on it's own. We weren't prepared for what came next. A few months after our daughter was born, my husband was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and died two years later. It was a devastating loss that left me searching for answers on a deep spiritual level.

The Wake Up Call

My life completely changed due to this trauma. I mourned this loss while raising a child and trying to rebuild everything from the ground up. In order to do this, I had to shift from the inside. I had to discover my gifts and reclaim my power.

I started with connecting to my intuition and letting my Highest Self that lead the way. It was an awakening that unfolded over many years. The constant guidance was to follow my creativity, build up the courage to use my authentic voice and follow my heart's desires. Sometimes this was easier said than done. I learned that clearing energetic blocks was an invaluable accelerator of spiritual growth and things got a lot easier as those invisible imprints started dissolving. I also learned that while challenges and struggles can trigger awakenings, build courage and open the door for growth, there are smoother and easier ways to get there.

Creating Something Brand New...

Once I let my Highest Self take the wheel, life got a lot more interesting and fun. I found my way to the beautiful Berkshires in MA where my creative soul found support and grounding, and my daughter got to grow up in this magical place.

Years later, I was guided back to the South to be closer to my family. It was my intention to allow more love into my life and being far away from my daughter, my sister and parents had run its course. I had no idea that I was being guided back to connect with a soul partner and experience love in an even deeper way. In 2020 I got married to a wonderful man I've known since the 4th grade, and I've been amazed at how life has unfolded with such lovely symmetry. You really can't make this stuff up!

Where I am Now...

I've spent over two decades studying and practicing art, coaching, energy healing, tarot, Yoga, Reiki, Akashic Record Readings, Theta Healing, the IN-Vizion process, Compassion Key. I worked with Sonia Choquette for over a decade and completed her Six Sensory Leadership Training. I've also studied with Andrrea Hess, Colette Baron-Reid, Carolyn Myss, Marianne Williamson, and Aleya Dao just to name a few.

I started all of this, because I needed to heal, but I discovered a passion that has led me to a happy life. Now, one of the things that gives me the greatest pleasure is guiding creative souls to step into their gifts and their power. I truly feel the world is made better when kind, sensitive, creative souls have bigger voices and impact. We need leaders like you. We need people with big hearts, open minds and desire for service and integrity to hold space in this world. What's more, YOU leading a happy, heart-led life is exactly the way to shift and change everything around you. I work with my clients to unpack the energetic and emotional obstacles that get in the way, connect with your unique gifts so you can manifest more abundance, find your soul purpose and do just that.
