My Story
It was late 2022 when I heard my soul whisper, “I don’t want this life.” And to be honest, it scared the sh*t out of me.
I was in a supervisory position and dealt with mental health crises every day—I knew this wasn’t that. I had worked hard on my own healing. I had built a life and shared a home with my long-term partner and his son, who I loved dearly. Hadn’t I wanted this?
I sought counsel from my pastor at the time and a shamanic healing practitioner I trusted, knowing this inner conflict was coming from my soul, not my head. Both of them assured me to listen to the whispers—to trust myself and what was being shown to me, even if it was only an inkling.
Astrology was the thread I grabbed onto. I had dabbled for years, but it wasn’t something my clinical brain had taken seriously. I applied for a Mystic Astrology Apprenticeship on my phone while I was on break at work, not knowing how I would even pay for it. In hindsight, taking this leap of faith was really me saying yes to the universe. The apprenticeship started in March 2023 and I gave my notice in the same week, before securing my next job.
Fast forward to summer of 2023: I had “graduated” from my apprenticeship, was reading birth charts, working in a therapy role that allowed for much more ease, and my heart was full. I remember being at a Full Moon fire ceremony that July, expressing my gratitude to the divine. I trusted that where she had led me was right, and I asked her to continue to work through me, in whatever way was intended. I just didn’t know I had more to release.
Within a few months, in September 2023, I moved out of the house I shared with who I thought was my forever partner and launched my own “side business” within the same month. I spent the remainder of 2023 and first half of 2024 crawling my way out of a pit. Some might refer to it as the “dark nights of the soul,” and it certainly felt that way. But really it was a rebirth. I did ThetaHealings, reiki sessions, practiced yoga and meditated. I went on a solo trip to the Redwoods, still holding onto hope that it would be enough to bring my relationship forward to the present, in a more aligned way… but it wasn’t.
Once I finally surrendered, things started to come together. Summer & Fall of 2024, something switched. I started to feel like myself again. The Somatic Educator program I was in landed deep in my bones. I started hosting Full Moon Women’s circles. I gradually opened my heart again and love came rushing in to meet me. I went on retreat to Spain and made some amazing connections. I realized my mission to lift women up had been there from the very beginning… hiding in plain sight & just waiting to be fully realized.
The offerings I’ve put together are my soul’s work. They’re the pieces that have been most pivotal for me on my own healing journey (and what I’ve found tend to be missing from other approaches), backed by years of seeing what helps others, too. What I can’t emphasize enough, though: this work has never been about fixing. I used to think it was, but that was just another iteration of the same story that was so toxic in the first place. This is about reclaiming who we’ve been all along—before all the conditioning and contorting.
The teachers, guides, and supports on my own journey - I can’t thank enough. All of them have reflected something vital back to me—awakened, inspired, saw my light. None of us were ever meant to do this alone. We are all here just walking each other home.
