My Journey

Have you ever felt pushed to the absolute limit, where life's relentless challenges leave  you depleted, frustrated, and yearning for a different path? 

My own journey, much like yours perhaps, has been a profound testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience, recovery, and radiant transformation. 

It was a sacred remembering of who I truly am, and it's a path I am now devoted to guiding other women through.

My path on this journey wasn't a straight one; it was forged in the fires of profound loss and relentless challenge.

In May of 1997, a traumatic accident left me with life-altering injuries. I was expected to be DOA, but through an unwavering fight to live, the power of collective prayer, and numerous surgeries, I left the hospital three months later with the loss of both legs – one above the knee, the other below.

For the next 15 years, I endured many more surgeries in an attempt to abate ongoing infections and continued reconstruction to save my knee. Ultimately, in 2012, after a 19 hour surgery, I became a bilateral above-the-knee amputee.

This wasn’t the end of great loss. December 2005, once again my path was being forged. My husband suddenly became ill and was admitted into the hospital. Now, on the other side of the hospital bed, I watched his painful decline. After 3 months, he lost his battle. My husband crossed over in February 2006.

Six weeks later, my father crossed unexpectedly. Then, the Great Recession of 2007 drove me into financial decimation. I plummeted into an abyss of grief.

These events, along with the accumulation of other life experiences, delivered me into clinical depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, and chronic pain. I was pushed to my absolute limit.

Years of traditional therapy offered support and prescription medication helped, but I wanted more, more healing, less Rx. From deep within my soul called for something more—a different kind of space, a space for soul recovery, for healing that transcended conventional approaches.

This yearning ignited a profound journey of re.membering my true self, an awakening to an ancient knowing within. For nearly three decades, I've immersed myself in an intentional process of intuitive writing, expressive arting, and soulful movement. This isn't just creative expression, I've found it to be a powerful, yet gentle, dialogue between my inner child and inner wise one.

​I believe this primal form of communication is unique to each individual, an innate language spoken, not by words alone but through scribble, shape, symbol, color, and image. The process gently and profoundly stirs an inner alchemy, opening pathways for deep, authentic self-discovery, recovery, and healing.

Another potent and most important addition to my healing journey has been nature. I've spent years attuning to the natural cycles and rhythms of natural world. From living in a cabin on 13 acres of bogland, following the solar and lunar cycles, and spending as much quality time outside as possible, I’ve received nature’s ageless medicine and an alignment to the wisdom of the seasons and moon phases.

This deep communion with the elemental forces of creation along with true self expression, offers a grounded, expansive presence and remembrance that I now guide others to discover for themselves.

It’s here, in nature’s embrace and in the intuitive arting process, that we begin to Reawaken, Rejuvenate, Reignite, Restore, Reweave our Soul, Self, and Sovereignty. It truly is the Art of Awakening to a primal ReMembrance.

My life's experiences, honed practices, various studies, and hard earned certifications have uniquely shaped me into what I refer as a Nature-Based Soul Recovery Guide.

From my own personal experiences, I have a developed a profound gift for seeing the luminous essence within women who feel depleted,  frustrated, and disconnected from their true selves. I am passionately dedicated to guiding them to their own soul recovery, helping them reclaim their ability to self-honor, remember their inherent nature, harness harness their creative potential, and trust their inner authority. 

My journey stands as a testament to the limitless possibilities that reside within us all, a living reminder that even in the face of immense challenge, life simply remains beautiful.
