For much of my life, I believed my worth was something to be earned through the external world. I learned early on how to embody perfectionism and control my surroundings, setting really high standards for myself. I was a doer, a striver, and an achiever. But behind all of it, I secretly struggled with comparison, fear, and self-doubt.

In adulthood, I had created the life I deeply wanted... yet there was a void. It felt like something was missing. Most days, there was a hum of disconnection and nonfulfillment below the surface. I craved more meaning and connection in my life and I realized—— if not now, then when?

So I began the journey of inner work. I gained insight into my maladaptive stories and behaviors. I began to understand the presence and sources of my deep rooted fears. And while these understandings were truly valuable, I still felt stuck in repetitive patterns. The conceptual knowledge of my experiences wasn’t enough; I needed to shift on a deeper level.
 
I immersed myself in somatic and embodiment studies— discovering the vital importance of regulating our nervous systems, understanding our subconscious, and fostering safety from within. I was expanding beyond conceptual understandings into true embodiment.

The shifts I began to make created profound ripple effects throughout every area of my life. I wasn’t just healing past trauma and conditioning— I was shifting my way of being.
