My Story

Your Spiritual Evolution Is My Calling

I felt a calling—and this time, I listened.

​

My spiritual journey began long before I knew what it was. Looking back, I can see how Source/God/Creator/Universe (whatever you want to call it!) nudged me again and again, even when I refused to hear it. I was raised by a single mother doing her best while battling mental health challenges. I didn’t realize my childhood was “unusual” until others reacted with shock or pity when I shared my story. That external judgment created wounds I didn’t know I had, and over time, I internalized the idea that I was somehow “less-than.”

​

Nobody taught me how to process emotions or build self-worth. I looked for role models in all the wrong places—alcohol seemed to be the one thing that made people happy. So, in junior high, I had my first drink. It was instant relief, and suddenly I understood why people numbed themselves. I believed everyone with a background like mine was miserable beneath the surface and that I was fundamentally broken—especially after being diagnosed with ADHD—and there was no way out. 

​

My curiosity around the mind and consciousness led me to experiment with substances, which eventually landed me in a treatment program. It was the first time I was given tools to live well—and I actually thrived. But old patterns pulled me back, and I fell back into old habits. Drinking and partying was fun and social—until it wasn’t. I felt like I couldn’t win either way.

It's fascinating how easily we absorb the identities and expectations placed on us by society. I played the role I felt society wanted me to play by day while drinking and partying by night. I was living a double life, masking my true wants and needs to fit the mold I thought I had to to be considered successful. Internally I was a bully to myself and I placed blame on myself and others for being so miserable. 

​

I functioned well on the outside, but inside, anxiety and depression ruled my world. In 2010 I moved to Áak’w Kwáan Territory (Juneau, Alaska), earned a degree, and landed a stable government job in HR. But despite doing all the “right” things, I consistently felt empty and worthless. Therapy and meds helped a little, but I still felt a giant void inside myself. There had to be more to life than this. At the time I could not grasp what that was or how to get there and I almost ended it all more than once. 

​

Eventually, I tried therapy again as well as meditation. This time I got to a place where my hair stopped falling out from stress and I was drinking less, but something was still missing. Eventually I left my job and stopped drinking. The world began to open up, and for the first time, I saw a glimpse of the life I truly wanted. I manifested a new job that felt like a dream… until the depression and anxiety came back.

​

I tried a new therapist and medication, which helped temporarily but dulled my ability to meditate. Despite the progress, something was still missing and I was too scared to risk trying to find it. There had to be more than this. I took a deep dive into how the brain and nervous system works, learning all that I could in an attempt to find happiness and stability. This allowed me to adopt a plethora of tools to leverage my brain and body to work with me instead of against me. I was making fantastic progress but I still felt I had to hold on to an unfulfilling career and lifestyle to feel secure.

​

And then it happened—I had a full-blown awakening.

​

I stumbled across a video of someone sharing their near-death experience, and all of a sudden everything clicked. They described a framework for the universe I had always intuitively known to be true, even though it didn't match any religion I had come across. In that moment, I felt it in my soul: we are all eternal beings of light and love and we are all connected. Fear dissolved and divine wisdom took its place. I booked a session with an energy healer (my “Energy Doula”) and experienced a life-changing release. I laughed, I cried—I remembered who I was. I had never felt so seen, supported, and divinely held by the universe.

​

That experience launched me into full discovery mode. I devoured information on awakening, spirituality, and consciousness. I continued to receive "downloads" (or messages) from the other side about our purpose on this beautiful planet. I felt a powerful calling to quit my HR job, even though this seemed crazy. Clients often told me I helped them deeply, and that’s when I realized—I’m a natural coach. My soul mission is to help others move beyond fear and into the fullness of who they truly are, creating ripples of authenticity, love, and compassion across our collective consciousness construct.

​​

I left my job, enrolled in an intuitive healing course, and began the most powerful chapter of my life. I healed (and continue to heal) deeply. I released old trauma. I connected to my gifts. I discovered my ability to guide others through transformational healing, combining energy work and spiritual coaching. This is what I was born to do. I now live an extremely fulfilling life that I am immensely grateful for every single day.  

​

I continue to deepen my connection to Spirit, heal core wounds, develop my intuition, and strengthen my internal alignment every day. I’ve never felt more whole, more alive, or more in love with life.

​

And the best part? You can do it too!

​

Looking back, I realize my awakening began long before I had the language for it. I just didn’t have anyone to help me navigate it. That’s why I do what I do now—because no one should have to walk this path alone. I'm here to hold space for others through their awakening journey. 

​

If you’re awakening, questioning, healing, or simply curious, know that you are not broken—and you’re definitely not alone. It’s an honor to be a beacon of light through the fog, and if you feel called, I’d love to walk alongside you as you rise into your highest self.
