About Me

Growing up in a household that was shame based and filled with general anxiety I learned very early on to pay close attention to emotions and actions as a defensive mechanism. Being a queer and neuro-divergent, and a highly sensitive person (HSP), I quickly learned how to hide parts of myself that I was told the world would never accept. Through life experiences I shifted my perspective and was able to utilized all the things I've hidden from myself and the world, turning them into skills for helping others. I have been my own worst critic over the years which lead to being well versed in understanding negative self talk, self-shaming, and self-deprecating humor. Experiencing addiction, an eating disorder, and sudden death of a significant other, I have been to dark mental spaces and back. Unlearning all the negative things I was doing to myself, I was able to find alignment with who I really was and wasn't afraid to be my authentic self.

Over the past few years I have sought out different modalities that can help with the healing process.

Becoming aware that each human is different and their path to healing isn't defined to a textbook or single mode of thought. As a coach it is my duty to continue my education in order to better serve my clients individual needs and assist them in the best way I can. Here are some of the Certifications I hold as a coach:

My Holistic Rundown

Physical

I have struggled with body dysmorphia most of my life. I put down the idea of what normal was and started living for me. Health by listening to my body not the scale. I truly believe that movement helps process so many different things and can be utilized in areas where we find ourselves stuck. I crave creative ways to exercise and enjoy finding new limits in my body.

Emotional

Emotions are something I used to suppress and ignore because I was never taught how to deal with them. I have learned to not let my emotions control me. Now they play a role in my every day life and are great reminders of staying in the present.

Spiritually

Religion was forced on me as a child and throughout my formative young adult years. By taking a step back I was able to find something that aligns with me in a spiritual sense. I believe that there is a greater source or higher being out there and that we are all just a small part of the picture. I used meditation as a vehicle to set intentions. I believe that everyone has the right to their own beliefs in hopes they remember to look after each other and lead with kindness.

Interpersonal/Social

Community is very important to me and something I strive to engage in as often as possible. I surround myself with people who would be considered helpers and people who would be considered creatives. I also gravitate towards people who choose to see the positive in situations and nurture an environment for growth.
