What guided me here, to the healing field? Pain. Suffering. Depression. Despair. Anxiety. Feeling as though I don't belong here, on this earth; as if I came from another planet. 

​

Though many times I thought of giving up, something inside of me kept me going. If I was going to survive, I had to find an outlet for my pain. I was determined to push beyond abuse, victimization, and the anger I carried in my mind and body. When I started my journey, I wasn't thinking much about my soul, but I needed to find a way out of suffering.

​

All along, however, clues were being placed along my path. Clues, like puzzle pieces, that I slowly put together to help guide and direct me. I wasn't consciously looking for these pieces, but in hindsight, I realized they were there. 

​

I didn't know where to turn or who to turn to. Mental health providers did their best, but the answers, in my case, weren't there. I came to realize there was a disconnect between my mind, body, and soul. At some point, my healing journey turned into a spiritual journey. The more I became consciously aware, the more I started to take care of myself, and the quicker I healed. 

​

My mantra many years ago, and I still use it today, was "the only person responsible for my happiness is me". A spin off of that has become true for me too. I remind myself that "I am the only person responsible for my soul's growth and evolution". This statement keeps me going. It gives me strength. It empowers me because I can't lay blame at anyone's feet. I take responsibility for my actions. As I process and heal, I release the burdens that others have given me - through their words, judgments, etc. I trust myself today more than I ever have. 

​

It has been a long journey. I'm still healing. But through my experiences, I've learned that when I'm hurting the most, I'm actually in the midst and the beauty of healing. The pain, darkness, and tears have catapulted me to a healthier, happier life. 

​

I do what I do, and offer my services because if I can heal, if I can acknowledge the divine light within me, then any of us can. 

​

Today I am so truly blessed to not only actively participate in my own healing, but I get to help guide others on their healing journey. The breakthroughs, epiphanies, and true changes that I have witnessed, to me, is nothing short of miraculous. There is no age limit to healing. Anytime someone decides to heal and evolve, is a great time.

From my heart to yours: You got this!
