My Story

The Wound is the Gift

Growing up as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) in a home that included one parent with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and the other with Bipolar, I dealt with chronic depression, anxiety, and debilitating self-loathing for most of my life.

In my quest for relief, I first turned to eastern mystical traditions in my early adulthood, and still practice meditation and yoga to this day (albeit inconsistently).

While these made a huge impact, 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, which I did throughout my 30’s.

I also took these skills to SeekHealing — a local non-profit that provides trauma-informed educational experiences that foster genuine human connection for anyone on any stage of a healing journey.

Healing On All the Levels

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 my purpose is to bring that level of effective relief to clients.
