My writings and my work as a coach are inspired by my journey of healing from trauma and abuse, and my trials and triumphs along the way.
At the start of my healing journey, I was a decade-long weed addict, harboring repressed memories of sexual abuse, suffering from symptoms of complex post-traumatic stress disorder, and in a psychologically abusive marriage.
It was through finding support, getting sober, and healing my body that I was finally able to see the invisible bars I'd been living behind, the people and events that had put them in place, and that I held the key within myself to open the door and leave.
And so I did!
Over time, I began sharing openly about my experiences – both the high points and the challenges – and I learned that using my voice and my lifelong gift of writing was helping not just myself, but other women, too.
Today, I now help other women to recognize patterns of abuse and symptoms of trauma so that they, too, can break the cycle, heal from the inside-out, and share the stories that only they can tell.
Fun Facts
- I was born and raised on Long Island, New York and have lived all throughout the state and the East Coast – from Maine, to North Carolina, to Florida – until leaving for the Pacific Coast in early 2023 to begin a new life path in Hawaii.
- I turned to Jesus at age 32, which was the best decision I EVER made. To my excitement and relief, I learned that His teachings and message of unconditional love can be applied without the confines of religion and the many mistruths and distortions within the Bible (misogyny, homophobia, etc.). I learn about His teachings through my personal teacher/shaman/life coach, Liana Shanti.
