I am a free-spirit, seeker of joy, spiritual junkie, hula hoop dancer, nature lover and cat lady. I am a writer, a creator, an artist, an idea-generator, and a gatherer of like-minded souls. I’ve held many different jobs (from restaurants to physical therapy clinics) and I’ve worked as an international flight attendant, traveling all over the world. I have a background in exercise science and certifications in life and health coaching, nutritional therapy, breathwork, yoga and reiki.
I’m a Montana girl in love with the beautiful Pacific Northwest, and I currently live in Portland, Oregon with my sweet kitties, Spencer and Ashy.
How I got here…
I spent a lot of my 20s and 30s on autopilot, not knowing who I was or what I wanted. I was going through the motions of what I thought I SHOULD do. I was stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, being a chameleon and looking outside myself for approval and validation that I was enough. I was often visited by self-doubt and did not trust my inner guidance. I was disconnected from my body, my heart, and my higher self.
Living out of alignment manifested in digestive troubles, skin issues, and chronic back pain. I have experienced how consuming it is to be in pain and not feel good in your body. I know how years of having a dysregulated nervous system (being stuck in fight or flight) can affect the body, mind, and spirit.
Since then, I’ve been intuitively led to practices that help me connect to my body, regulate my nervous system, live more intentionally and follow my joy. By becoming more aware and learning how everything is connected, I began to heal and become more grounded in my own sense of self.
I share this story because I want you to know where I’ve come from and to know that joy and freedom are available for all of us. We are all works in progress, and I am walking right beside you as we figure out this journey called life.
