My adolescent years were both joyful and challenging. I often felt different from those around me, though I could not quite find the words to explain why. I was naturally drawn to movement - sports, dance, gymnastics, and any activity that allowed me to connect with my body. What I did not realize at the time was that movement was my way of expressing emotions, making sense of my inner world, and grounding myself as an empath, or highly sensitive person.
​
Following high school, I enrolled in college with a clear intention to study Psychology and pursue a path of helping others. Only a few months in, I felt an undeniable, intuitive pull toward holistic healing. I followed that nudge, put my college courses on pause, and enrolled in a Massage Therapy and Energy Healing program just weeks later.  This decision became a pivotal moment in my life. It was my first clear lesson in trusting my intuition. It marked the beginning of a path that felt deeply aligned, and has remained a guiding anchor in my life ever since.
​
I began to practice, explore, and understand the language of energy - how it moves through us, how it communicates through the body, and how it shapes our life. I also began to learn, on a cellular level, that our bodies hold the imprints of our life experiences. To live more fully, we must connect with ourselves through the body, not just the mind. Studying Massage, Energy Work, & Bodywork helped me understand this, and continues to inform the work that I do to this day.
​
As I began to work in the healing space, I turned to Yoga and Sound Baths as tools to help me regulate my own nervous system and process the emotions and energy I encountered - both within myself and while holding space for others. Yoga made sense to me from the very beginning. It became a sacred practice that allowed me to express through my body while simultaneously listening to it on a deeper level. Through intentional movement, breath, and presence, I began to attune more clearly to the subtle messages my body was always offering. Yoga continues to be a powerful gateway for me - a way to bridge the physical and energetic.
​
I have come to believe that energy always tells the truth. Our energetic body is constantly communicating through our physical form- aka, the physical is always a reflection of the energetic. This belief guides my work to this day.
​
I am currently continuing my studies in Psychology with plans to weave together modern psychology with the holistic and energetic healing modalities that have and continue to shape my path.
