My Story
Why I am here, doing this work? Well, it started with the birth of my first child back in 2017. Becoming a mother has changed everything for me. It has called me to see things from a different perspective, to question everything about my life and my purpose. You see, since I was a kid I knew that I wanted to have children. What I failed to realize is that despite the numinous quality of "having children", it's not the final destination in one's life. Rather, motherhood is the first step in this journey of becoming and remembering who you truly are. Having a total identity crisis, I was lost, confused, and felt guilty that suddenly, as my only dream came to life, I was looking for more.
Looking back, I was searching for my soul, and for meaning with a capital M. I always knew that I wanted to help women on their journeys, but I didn't know how. Until one day, when I had a vision. I saw that I was meant to offer a safe space, much like a cocoon, for other mothers to go in and experience their own transformation.
My second child came in May 2020. Having a newborn in a pandemic, sleeping only 1-2 hours at a time for months on end, and being isolated from my support system skyrocketed my anxiety which I was struggling with since my early teens. After multiple anxiety attacks, I came to understand that I was going through a parental burn-out. Feeling like my body and my soul were literally shutting down, I decided that something had to change. I started with traditional psychotherapy. Without taking anything away from that experience, it failed to address my big-picture concerns.
What ultimately got me out of that state of being was coming back to my soul, my spirituality, embracing the divine feminine and embodying it. It was also inner-work, down in the trenches, digging deep. It was also coaching. I hired my first coach and I had an incredible experience. The coaching space was the cocoon I needed to grow my wings. It made my inner explorations less painful, and I felt better knowing that I'm not alone on the journey. During this time, I gained a new, spiritual perspective on my life which gave me the confidence and strength to pursue my dreams. It gave me permission to show up for myself. I learned how to welcome all my feelings, good or bad, and show myself love and compassion in those difficult moments. And in doing so, I became a better mother.
What I discovered while training to be an intuitive coach was the true power of my intuition. I started doing Tarot and Oracle card readings, only to find out that I didn't actually need the cards (although they are lovely). I then started doing cold readings and I never looked back.
Today, I combine intuitive readings with coaching for a unique healing and transformational experience.
Fun facts about me
- I love chips, I could have them for breakfast.
- Dancing is a big part of my life. I learned how to dance mostly by watching Sean Paul's music videos at 12 years old.
- My first concert was Death Cab for Cutie back in 2004. After the show, I bought a t-shirt which I still wear today.
- I love all things metaphysical and paranormal, but I'm too scared to watch horror movies.
- In a past life regression exercise I saw myself as a tall, dark-haired man wearing brown leather sandals in what appeared to be medieval times. Needless to say, I've changed.
