LEADERSHIP & GUIDANCE
I don’t work from theory alone.
(Although I am certified as a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-aware coach.)
I guide based on lived experience.
Every area I support people through is something I’ve navigated myself, not perfectly, but honestly, and with a commitment to growth, self-understanding, and coming back to who I am.
If you’re moving through something that feels big, unfamiliar, or hard to hold on your own, you don’t have to do it alone.
Below are the areas where I can support you.
Narcissistic Abuse → Leap Of Faith → Alcohol Recovery → How To Do The Work → Highly Sensitive Experiences → Processing Emotions → Plant Medicine Guidance → Integration → Spiritual Awakening → Neurodiversity → Somatic Expression
Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
I grew up in an environment shaped by narcissistic abuse.
For the first fifteen years of my life, I was conditioned to believe there was something fundamentally wrong with me. I was gaslit, controlled, and disconnected from my own identity.
I left at 15, but the patterns didn’t leave with me.
I carried them into my adult life, repeating dynamics that felt familiar, until I began to do the work to understand and break those cycles.
Healing from narcissistic abuse is not just about leaving the environment. It’s about rebuilding your sense of self, learning to trust your perception again, and reclaiming the parts of you that were suppressed.
This is deep, layered work, and it can feel isolating.
If this is part of your story, I see you, and I’m here to support you through it.
LEAP OF FAITH GUIDANCE
In 2018, I took a leap of faith to save my life.
Since then, I’ve come to understand something most people don’t talk about: growth and progress often happen before we feel ready. Not after.
I’ve built a life around choosing expansion, even when it’s uncomfortable, whether that means changing habits that aren’t serving me, trying something new, or stepping into environments that feel unfamiliar or intimidating.
Taking a leap of faith can feel overwhelming when you’re facing it alone. Having someone to talk it through with, to help you prepare, and to remind you that you’re not alone in the process can make all the difference.
If you’re standing at the edge of something and you know it’s time to jump, I’m here to walk alongside you, both in the decision and in the landing on the other side.
ALCOHOL RECOVERY
My first major turning point was getting sober.
I had reached a point where I knew I had lost control, and I was carrying a level of shame I couldn’t ignore anymore. Choosing sobriety was one of the hardest and most important decisions I’ve ever made.
I went through recovery with Tempest, and later became an alcohol recovery coach within the same program.
This work changed my life. Not just in removing alcohol, but in helping me rebuild my relationship with myself.
If you’re questioning your relationship with alcohol, or you know it’s time for something to change, I understand how complex that decision can feel.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
HOW TO DO THE WORK
After getting sober, I came face-to-face with something I had spent most of my life avoiding.
I began to understand that I had experienced significant childhood trauma, and that many of the patterns I carried into adulthood, especially during my years with alcohol, were shaped by what I had been through.
For a long time, much of it was suppressed.
What changed everything was being guided through a structured healing process by a clinical psychologist. That work gave me a way to understand my experiences, process them safely, and begin creating real, lasting change.
We eventually turned that methodology into a group coaching program called Get Unstuck, which is still running today. From my experience, doing this work in a structured, supported environment, especially in a group setting, can be incredibly powerful.
At the same time, I know how hard it is to begin.
You might feel unsure where to start. You might feel fear about what could come up. You might be overwhelmed by the number of healing modalities out there, or unsure what’s actually right for you.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
If you’re at the beginning of your healing journey, or even just considering it, I can offer a grounded space to talk it through. Whether that’s helping you understand your options, easing some of the fear, or simply connecting with someone who has walked this path and experienced real transformation.
You don’t have to enter this work alone.
I am a certified trauma-informed coach, so you can feel safe knowing I have proper education as well as lived experience.
HIGHLY SENSITIVE EXPERIENCES
For most of my life, I believed there was something wrong with me.
I was told I was too much. Too sensitive. Defiant. Difficult. Unable to follow the rules.
I internalized that as truth. I believed I was a bad kid.
It wasn’t until much later in life that I began to understand what was actually happening.
I am a highly sensitive person.
I wasn’t broken. I was moving through the world in a way that required a different kind of environment, one that I didn’t have at the time.
As I began healing, and as I came out of dissociation and back into my body, my sensitivity didn’t decrease, it expanded.
I started to feel more. I became more aware of energy, of other people’s emotional states, and of the subtle layers of experience that I had previously been disconnected from.
I began to experience music differently, not just hearing it, but feeling it.
I also became more sensitive to sound in ways that were, and still can be, overwhelming. Certain high-frequency sounds, motorbikes, machinery, or speakers, can move through my body like waves and activate my nervous system in an intense way.
At times, this has been incredibly challenging to navigate.
And at the same time, it’s also one of my greatest strengths.
This level of sensitivity allows for a depth of feeling, perception, and awareness that is rare. It’s a double-edged experience, and learning how to live with it requires understanding, boundaries, and the ability to stay within your own capacity.
Most people aren’t taught how to do that.
If you recognize yourself in any of this, you’re not alone, and there’s nothing wrong with you.
I can help you understand your sensitivity, work with it instead of against it, and build a way of living that actually supports how you’re wired.
PROCESSING EMOTIONS
I was always an emotional person, but I didn’t know how to process my feelings.
Because I was never taught how to safely express them.
I’m naturally a highly sensitive, feeling-oriented person. But instead of learning how to work with that, I learned to suppress, override, and disconnect.
Over time, I became deeply dissociated from my body. I wasn’t fully aware of what I was feeling, where I was feeling it, or how to allow it to move through me.
When I began doing the work, I realized something important. It wasn’t just that my emotions were hard to access, it was that they felt too big, too layered, and too entangled to even begin expressing.
I was also taking on more than my own emotional experience. I didn’t yet have the awareness to distinguish between what I was feeling and what I was absorbing from others.
Learning to process emotions has been one of the most transformative parts of my journey.
It’s not about forcing anything out. It’s about creating enough safety for what’s already there to be felt, understood, and released in a way that doesn’t overwhelm your system.
This is something I now hold space for with others.
If feeling your emotions feels confusing, intense, or even impossible, I can support you in gently reconnecting with your body, understanding what you’re feeling, and creating a space where those emotions can move in real time.
You don’t have to carry it all internally.
PLANT MEDICINE GUIDANCE
Through my own experiences with plant medicine, and through facilitating and space-holding in ceremonial environments, I came to understand something essential: this work requires education, preparation, and discernment.
Plant medicine is not for everyone, and it’s not something to approach casually. It asks for a level of self-awareness, responsibility, and readiness that often gets overlooked.
I’ve worked with plant medicines including ayahuasca, psilocybin, kambo, and huachuma. I also worked at a retreat center supporting and holding space in these environments
I’ve guided many individuals through the early stages of this path. This includes helping people clarify what they’re actually seeking, understanding the differences between medicines, and learning how to self-screen to determine whether a particular path is appropriate, or whether it’s the right time at all.
I’ve also developed and worked with screening protocols, which has given me experience guiding people through the decision-making process, preparing for ceremony, holding grounded, supportive space, and supporting integration afterwards.
My role is not to tell you what to do. It’s to help you become more informed, more prepared, and more connected to your own discernment.
If you’re feeling curious about plant medicine, or considering stepping into this work, I invite you to reach out and book a time to talk it through.
INTEGRATION
Transformation doesn’t come from the experience itself. It comes from what happens after.
Integration isn’t just for plant medicine, it’s necessary for all forms of healing. I take integration really seriously – I took a 200h Trauma-informed Coaching Certification, Psychedelic Integration certification, and Psychedelics for Autism certification.
What I’ve seen and learned, both personally and professionally, is that integration is often the missing piece to most healing journeys.
People have powerful breakthroughs, but without proper support, they can find themselves slipping back into old patterns.
Integration is about making change sustainable. It’s about bringing insight into your daily life in a way that actually sticks.
If you’ve done deep work and feel like something isn’t fully landing, this is where we focus.
SPIRITUAL AWAKENING
I never considered myself a spiritual person, until I went through my own awakening.
What began as a healing journey opened the door to experiences I couldn’t explain at the time, but that many would describe as a spiritual awakening. It led me to explore intuition, energy, and a deeper connection to something beyond the surface level of reality.
I’ve since come to understand my own intuitive abilities, particularly clairsentience and claircognizance, and I continue to develop that connection through consistent inner work.
I believe everyone has access to their intuition. It’s not something reserved for a few people, it’s something that gets strengthened through awareness and practice.
If you’re moving through your own awakening, or starting to question what’s real and what’s possible, I can help you stay grounded while you explore that expansion.
NEURODIVERSITY AWARENESS
I was late-diagnosed with ADHD at 35, and later with autism at 40.
These realizations changed everything.
They gave me language for experiences I had carried my entire life, and helped me understand how my brain and nervous system actually work. More importantly, they allowed me to replace shame with understanding.
Now, I move through the world differently. I make decisions based on how I’m wired, not how I think I “should” be.
This work is deeply personal to me. I’m here to help others recognize their own patterns, understand their unique ways of thinking and feeling, and begin to work with themselves instead of against themselves.
You’re not broken. You’ve likely just never been given the right lens.
SOMATIC EXPRESSION
For most of my life, I lived outside of my body.
When I began healing and returned to myself, everything changed. I started exploring embodiment and grounding practices that helped me feel present, safe, and connected in a way I had never experienced before.
As I became more attuned to my body, I also became more aware of my energy, my sensitivities, and my natural impulses to express.
For a long time, I had suppressed that part of myself. I had learned that expressing emotions, especially in big or visible ways, was unsafe.
But once I began to feel safe in my body, something opened.
Through movement, I discovered a natural connection to dance, something I had never allowed myself to intuitively explore before. It became a way to process, to release, and to experience joy without needing words.
I also found my voice in new ways, through chanting and singing, which became another form of somatic expression and a powerful way to regulate my nervous system.
Somatic expression isn’t about performing or getting it right. It’s about allowing your body to move, sound, and express in ways that feel natural and intuitive.
It can be simple, subtle, or expansive.
If you’re curious about embodiment practices, wanting to feel more present in your body, or interested in exploring spaces like ecstatic dance or other forms of intuitive movement, I’d be happy to guide you.
This work has brought me back to myself in a way I didn’t know was possible. Now, I practice radical self expression whenever the opportunity arises.
Work With Me
If something here resonates, it may be a signal.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
You just need a starting point.
I offer a free clarity session where we can talk through where you are,
what you’re navigating, and whether working together feels like the right fit.
