Why I Do This Work.
I know exactly what it feels like to get stuck in self-doubt, creative resistance, and the pressure of living up to an image you’ve built.
For 15 years, I thrived in the media world, working with clients like VNU, CBS, and MTV. On the outside, everything looked great. But inside? I was holding myself back—filtering my voice, editing my truth, and resisting the creative work I was meant to bring into the world.
And it caught up with me. By my early 40s, I was dealing with debilitating migraines—physical manifestations of the emotional resistance I was carrying.
In 2018, everything changed when I discovered mind-body healing. I learned to trust my voice, move through fear instead of avoiding it, and step into a deeper, more powerful version of myself. That transformation led me to a new calling—helping others break free, too.
I became a licensed psychotherapist, certified life coach, and expert in nervous system healing, trained in Somatic Experiencing, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and Nonviolent Communication. Over the past five years, I’ve helped hundreds of people heal from chronic pain by rewiring their nervous systems and reclaiming their innate resilience. Now, I use those same tools to help high-level creatives and entrepreneurs melt through fear, expand their impact, and own their voice with confidence.
Because creative freedom isn’t about never feeling fear or resistance—it’s about learning to work with them, rather than against them. It’s about stepping into your truth with trust, even when the path feels uncertain. And when you do, you don’t just find your voice—you find your power.
