​
My own life's experiences and dealing with many challenges and personal dark nights has initiated me into my role as a Spiritual Healer. I was born as a 5th generation Spiritual Healer so working with the subtle energy field and traditional healing practices were part of my life since I was born. I have had many teachers in this lifetime, but the generational lineage i bring into this world provides a strong foundation. Between the age of 36 and 47 years old, after years of working in Gynecologic Oncology and advocating for women going through their cancer journey, my own mother was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer, the following year I began my own "spiritual cancer" by going through a debilitating and karmic divorce. It seemed I couldnt get a break in life as along came one unfortunate circumstance after another, I lost my job, lost our my home and even our family dog had to be put down. In 2016 my divorce finalized and left a devastating wake behind me. I felt broken and empty inside with so much of my life, my identity and all I had worked hard for and come to rely upon, had been stripped away. I was 50 pounds overweight, hypertensive, borderline diabetic, in a state of chronic stress and dealing with alot of pain from "fibromyalgia". I had so much inflammation in my body, some days I could hardly move. I had increasing physical pain in my lower abdomen/pelvis and back that kept me awake night after night and I was eventually diagnosed with a large uterine tumor that was growing rapidly and required a hysterectomy. At 47 years old, this was my breaking point. How was I going to recover from all these layers of issues that had avalanched upon me? How was I going to dig my way out and heal from all this? My doctors were prescribing prescription drugs for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, anxiety, pre-diabetes, pain and inflammation. I needed to get a handle on my health. I needed to find inspiration, courage and faith that I could recover, reinvent myself, rebirth and regain control in my life!!
​
Yoga (specifically Yin and Restorative) combined with Sound Healing Therapy, Spiritual Shamanic Healing, Mindful Meditation, Shadow Work and changing my diet were all the medicines I used to get me through this Dark Night of the Soul. I not only healed through this chapter in my life, but realized that in this season of darkness, I was getting a Masters Degree toward my Dharma and in understanding the power of Holistic Healing Therapies. The way these practices transformed my life and my health is what inspired me to become a certified 500RYT and to continue my studies in Yoga Therapy and as a Holistic Practioner.
I continue to be a work in progress. I am dedicated to my calling of helping others rise up and discover the light within each and every one of us that has the power to heal and transform under any circumstance.
Join me at my virtual Zen Den for group and private classes to experience the transformative power of Yoga and Holistic Healing Practices.
