As you age, working with trauma patterns becomes more and more important. Especially if you’re an ambitious, high performing person who wants to, and indeed IS doing BIG stuff in the world!

Why?

For most of us, our bodies move into trauma patterns unconsciously when we are young, adapting to both big and little stressors.

These stressors, if not dealt with properly, create changes in our cellular function, nervous system and DNA - but young bodies are naturally faster at keeping up with the oxidative stress.

But as we move into adulthood and beyond, The physical energy required to push the patterns away or avoid them takes an increasing toll on your cells and biological functions, as well as your executive functioning.

Meaning your body needs more and more energy to do the same things, and the pushing and avoiding becomes less and less available - and can show up in ways you wouldn’t expect (including chronic illness, brain fog, brain inflammation and more)...

Your Journey is Divine

If you have lived a life that has required you to go into nervous system and spiritual override (aka pushing past your body, sensations & emotions), when you make the conscious choice to slow down and come back to your body it can be very uncomfortable. Your body will do all kinds of things as it receives signals that it is now only to move into the natural state of repair.

This is the time where you are becoming present to what the override has prevented you from feeling.

Yes our natural state is to live inside our bodies, but it is something we must re learn. And RE member.

And the detoxification of the old way is very real within you.

Harmony is our nature but our nature has been forgotten.

The pattern you are rewiring when you come home to yourself is a big one! It includes your cells, nervous system, spirit and psyche as well as your generational line past and present.

So be patient with yourself. Release attachment to the mind, to the outcome, to what the mind...

In your Heart, there is a Seed

In your heart of hearts there is a seed.

A seed of destiny that longs to grow through you.

This seed is what pulls you inward to itself... it is what gives you the strength to face your darkest shadows and deepest fears.

In the beginning, this delicate seed in the chamber of your heart is private and delicate. It can only be touched by gentle hands and witnessed with gentle eyes.

But as it is fed and watered by both you and the Divine, it grows strong and powerful. And your destiny starts to take shape in the sacred geometry of your life, love and business.

When you forget about this seed, life begins to feel dry and forceful and pushed. Things simply dry up and feel brittle. Sometimes they even hurt. When we grow impatient we leave the chamber of the heart where we have been nourishing this seed of destiny. Where we have been faithfully pulling up the weeds that threaten to strangle it...

And we seek something out there... the next business goal......

Prosperity is a Heart Thing

Crack wide open that heart of yours.

Let it sing and speak.

Let it burst with love, direction, fire and passion.

Let it lead STRAIGHT to your Divine Destiny through the path of least resistance.

It’s not true that you need the bells and whistles.

It’s not true that you need to sell your soul.

It’s not true that you need to be someone or something outside of you.

It’s just not true.

All you must do is be present, hold space for the pressure and fear and let the the stellar explosion of your heart break wide open in surrender.

Prosperity is a heart thing. It’s a body thing. It is not material. It is not status.

It is the pure open hearted vulnerability of doing your sacred work in the world with all your heart and soul.

And breathing into it. Grounding into it with faith and surrender.

This is a revolutionary way of doing business. It is healing, liberating, and uniquely your own.

Prosperity and your Nervous System

The reason I love working with driven, ambitious people in healing is because I love to work with people who have a vision and are determined to make it happen.
I love helping these people manifest their heart's calling in a way that supports them in their deep foundational healing including nervous system regulation, trauma healing & spiritual healing.
My core belief is that we can have it all.
I believe in healing and regeneration for all people.

Sometimes you may get discouraged and believe you have to do it like everyone else.
Although the way "everyone else" does it is actually an illusion and doesn't exist.
Or, you may feel that you constantly have to push away old hurts, childhood wounds and simply push yourself to deliver.

I am here to bring the good news - there is a better way.

You can bring your highest vision to life, live your purpose and do it in a way that supports your happiness, soul freedom and genuine health.

This is the...

Let yourself FEEL the cells, the skin, the blood flowing to your heart, the breath flowing to your lungs. THIS is life darling. THIS is life. And it’s okay.

I cried while I was running today. When I first started seriously working out (swimming twice per day), I was on the cusp of some major breakthroughs in my life and I swam twice a day to cope with what I was losing (a codependent relationship, some unhealthy friendships, my own irresponsibility tendencies and emotional leeching). I didn’t know it then, but I was running from myself. It happened to be a rather healthy way to “escape” - or at least it seemed to be for me at the time. This was before I knew what I know now about nervous system healing, emotional scaffolding, titration, and the physiological survival response of trauma. I was doing what I could with what I had. I was trying to hold onto my core - or find my core self. Find my independence after being enmeshed with unhealthy parents and carrying that forward into my life as an adult with friendship and intimate relationship dynamics that mirrored the trauma bonds of my upbringing.

What I started...
