My own healing journey started with an intuitive nudge to book my first “energy reading”. I was living in NYC, and in a job that required me to navigate a team through a continuum of big changes. It was my 17’th year on the women's design team at JCrew. I loved the beauty & creativity that I was surrounded by at my job and the illustrious and talented people I worked with- it was a literal “dream job” for most people, but I had this unfulfilled feeling. I felt that something was missing.

 I remember being very nervous before the reading, but also knew that this desire for a spiritual connection was coming from my spirit. That session ended up being the beginning of the next phase of my life. I literally felt spirit in the room and my body buzzing. It felt so real and right. They shared spiritual wisdom with me that helped me see where I wasn’t being honest with myself, and where I could be kinder to myself. I left with notes to start a meditation practice, to host more dinner parties, to start journaling, to build an altar, and how to clear the energy in my apartment! The simple practices I began after that session taught me what it truly meant to honor myself, my relationship with all living things, and my relationship with spirit. 

For many of my teenage and adult years I self soothed in unhealthy ways. I wore a peaceful exterior, preferring harmony to conflict. Internally, I was numb, suppressing shame, unworthiness & “not-enoughness”. It materialized in a multitude of ways: playing small, scared to be my true authentic self, enmeshing with other peoples energy to fit in, hiding my likes and dislikes in friend groups in order keep the peace, and participating in stubborn and passive aggressive behaviors.

The meditation practice helped me get quiet enough to hear my intuition & inner voice. Being in meditation made me feel safe enough to explore the depths of my emotions, feel my feelings, and embrace my spiritual nature, which had been not-so-quietly knocking. It was no longer possible to hide from it.

Finding my way to meditation and committing to my healing, changed me. I gave up alcohol, and in doing so, I found that I was more myself, more clear, and more in touch with my intuition. Daily kundalini yoga & physical exercise were also part of the healthy equation that supported me.. 

I was hungry for more information & found teachers, coaches & communities where I could learn & feel supported. I was encouraged to talk about myself, to be vulnerable, to trust others and to feel confident in my gifts as an intuitive.  It was becoming less comfortable to be in situations & environments that weren’t in alignment with the “new me.” 

It took a few more years to leave the safety net of my job, and the city I had called home for 27 years, but I could no longer deny that sharing these healing modalities was my path forward. In 2022 I left NYC and J Crew. First stop was Bali for a retreat with my coach and a group of amazing women. I stayed on to explore a bit and found my way to The Heroine’s Journey, a program offered by the Be Woman Project. Immediately I felt I was where I was meant to be. We dove deep into our personal story’s- the myths we grew up with, our patterns around love, sexuality, and self worth. Each weekend we would meet virtually for a Vedic teaching, and for a women’s devi circle. We listened to each other with one big heart, all women across the globe. Each week trust in myself and other women grew stronger. I wondered why we didn’t learn these basic ways of being with each other - where there is no judgment, where we’re encouraged to be our honest selves - to not hide parts of ourselves for fear of upsetting someone. I feel so deeply about the transformation that can happen when women gather in a safe space & can be seen and heard. I am so honored to offer a space for you to feel the same.
