My Story
Transforming Pain into Purpose
Today, I arrive on my mat with 200hrs of Trauma Informed Yoga education from Sacred Being Yoga School and 2+ years of experience in the Holistic Healing Industry as an Intuitive Energy Healing Facilitator. However, it doesn’t feel so long ago that I would arrive on my mat for the very first time as 12 year old girl, with curiosity and eagerness for relief from emotional and physical pain. Each day that I show up for myself and hold space for the pain, I allow the messages that lie behind the pain to come to the surface. And in this deep listening, an even deeper softening occurs.
The pain that led me to Yoga, Somatic Healing, and Energy Healing, is what has driven my purpose as a practitioner. The pain of a deformed spine, and maladaptive compensations that my Body made in response, has taught me to been keenly aware of how unique every single Body is. This has allowed me to approach space-holding with innate compassion, equipping me to create protocols that serve more of my community. The pain of social rejection and abandonment that left me fearful of vulnerability has driven me to prioritize 1:1 Connection and Community Care in my offerings. The pain of carrying deeply felt emotions, with no language or tools to navigate them, emboldened me to dive deep into my own healing, allowing me to arrive to my sessions with a more grounded and integrated energy.
Through small, consistent steps on a non-linear journey, I have been able to uncover within myself the latent taproot, connecting me to the wisdom from Earth to Sky. I feel it is my duty to be a way-shower toward this taproot that lies within, connecting us all to the infinite wisdom of the Universe, and the Great Mother. Through reconnecting with the Earth, I began to inform my self-mentoring with the wisdom of Nature; moving with the seasons and honoring the inevitable and necessary cycles of expansion and contraction. In this slow and steady journey of seeking Healing and Wholeness, I found my true Self emerging. The layers of conditioning falling away, leaving more space for my Light to shine.
I believe in the oneness of Light and Dark. I believe that we do heal, we do recover, we do have the power to embrace and expand our Light. I believe in the sacred alchemy of reclaiming the lost stories buried in the Darkest corners of ourselves. I believe in Love over fear. I believe in the interconnectedness of our collective world, and I believe in the healing of this planet. I believe in the power of the choices we make, and I believe in the power of co-creating with the Divine. I believe in accessible practices that provide resources for more our Earth to Heal. I believe in honoring Origin, Lineage, and the Roots of each practice we utilize. I believe in integration, education, and living our Yoga in day-to-day life. I believe in the ever-present truth that you, yes YOU, are your own best healer and guide. I believe in merely holding a mirror, serving as a channel, and reflecting one’s own Light back to them. I believe that every Teacher is a perpetual student, and that the learning never ends. I believe that the process is the journey, and the destination never arrives. I believe in the magic of the Now moment, and the Wholeness we discover when we merge with the Present. I believe in the wisdom of the Body, and I believe in the divinity of each and every human Heart.
