My Story

The Wound is the Gift

Growing up energetically sensitive with one parent with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and the other with Bipolar, I grew up to experience chronic depression, anxiety, and debilitating self-loathing for most of my life.

In my quest for relief, I first turned to eastern mystical traditions, such as meditation and yoga, in my early adulthood. Yet I still struggled with poor mental health and failed relationships.

My quest for answers lead me to learn, and eventually facilitate both Nonviolent Communication and Authentic Relating classes and events.

I also took these skills to working with SeekHealing — an Asheville-based non-profit that provides trauma-informed training and support meetings for anyone on a healing journey.

Deeper Transformation

Yet despite having better relationships, my depression and anxiety still plagued me.

It wasn’t until I found NIASZIIH Healing & Bodywork that I found the answers I was looking for. In 2019, I enrolled in wildernessFusion, a healing school based in Lipan Apache philosophy and spirituality. I am currently enrolled in year 6 of the 7 year program.

Through wildernessFusion, I’ve learned how to become the “Vessel of Healing” for myself and others. Now my life is rich with the kind of peace, love, joy, and purpose that I always dreamed of. And a huge part of my purpose is to bring that level of effective relief to others.
