A little bit about me...

Family life was messy for me growing up - I dealt with a lot of challenging experiences, like abuse and sexual harassment, on top of constantly moving around between different step families. I never fit in - whether it was with siblings, friends, or the churches I attended. Being raised in multiple religions taught my system that who I was, was always wrong. I felt completely alone and rejected my entire childhood and well into adulthood.

You can see why self-love didn’t come easy for me. I didn’t have the luxury of feeling worthy just as I was - mistakes and all. I chronically believed that something was fundamentally wrong with me to be so unloved by so many people.

As far back as I can remember, there was always a crisis, drama, something going on that felt world-ending. In my later years, I created a lot of it - my system being addicted to cortisol and the extreme ups and downs of life at that point. There were countless shame spirals, times I numbed myself to the point of blackout drunk, basically doing everything I could to fill a gaping hole in my heart.

The moment I knew something needed to change was right after the fall of a relationship where I gave my power away completely. I finally realized that I was looking outside of myself for love instead of getting it where it’s supposed to come from - inside of me. So I committed to myself, whole heartedly deciding that no matter what it would take, I was going to figure out how to love myself so I never harmed myself in the process of reaching for someone who didn’t deserve me again.

After eight years of learning what self-love truly meant from every angle, I had a moment - a moment where I finally felt true fulfillment from the inside out. I was out in the woods, barefoot, sitting on a big rock with my dog, Reggie, and I knew that no matter what could happen, I’ve got myself - totally and completely without a shadow of a doubt. The feeling of knowing that no matter what would come my way, I would not only just be okay, but content, full of joy, and completely supported by me.

When you nourish yourself so completely from the inside out, you become a different person - someone who’s proud of themselves, someone who feels satisfied and content with a slow, easy life, someone who finally has the capacity to do all of the things you always told yourself you would do. You become creative again, in love with the little things, in life, and equipped for any outside circumstance to crumble or go wrong because your foundation is so solid, you know you can handle anything that life throws at you.

I believe everyone deserves to feel that level of self-love, fulfillment, and trust in themselves. And it’s my mission to help as many people achieve that as possible. There’s nothing more empowering than feeling completely sovereign - completely satisfied with who you are, what you bring to the world, and why you were meant to be here. I want you to become the person you’ve always dreamed of being. So let’s get started so you don’t waste another year putting bandaids on a gaping hole that can only be filled from the inside out.
