Many years ago I began my own personal journey to heal my wounds created throughout my life…..”my story”. Quite frankly, I was exhausted from repeating my toxic self-defeating belief/thinking/behavior patterns. I was ready to take a journey inward, to change my limiting beliefs, heal my emotional wounds and create a new, more conscious way of living. Thus, began my own very personal…often painful….healing journey to create my new “story”……a story not based on my past……..a story created with conscious choices and possibilities far beyond what I have ever imagined.
This journey of mine took me to many places. It taught me how my thoughts attract what I experience and mold my reality. I learned how to release my limiting beliefs, change my self-talk and shift my perceptions. I learned I could transform my family history of depression and anxiety and not make it mine or identify with it any longer. My introspection revealed my emotional triggers and how they affected my life by automatically emotionally reacting rather than being able to “choose” my responses. I experienced very different outcomes in my relationships and I viewed myself much differently when I realized the power of my ability to wisely choose my behavior without the entanglements of my past emotional triggers. I learned confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of power while creating my new “story”.
Amazingly during my inner journey I also realized I had always felt I didn’t belong. I had friends and family but I felt alone. Beginning at an early age I longed to sit alone connecting with mother nature. I found great peace in the mountains, sky, moon and stars. In grade school I began to understand living energy exists in all things. Intermittently over many decades I have experienced “other worldly” contact and visions at night. Some have been very positive experiences. Others were not. There was no one I could trust enough to confide in. There was no one to help me understand or teach me tools.
This is why I began working with clients. There is no greater joy for me than to walk with someone on their journey. After years of studying hypnotherapy, shamanism, past life regression, spiritual hypnotherapy, metaphysics, numerous energy modalities, and more, I developed a more spiritual perspective about myself and my place in the universe. I learned to embrace being “different’ and accept myself unconditionally.
A client told me recently, “After working with you I have learned to trust myself. I learned so many great techniques on how to get in touch with my own feelings and how to deal with situations. I am so much more confident than I have ever been. I live my dreams without fear, anxiety or doubt. I boldly take on new challenges both personally and professionally. I am strong, independent and accomplished. I emerged from my experience working with you with a new understanding and power I didn’t know I had. I would not be the person I am today if it were not for your services.”
I invite you to begin your own personal journey with me….A Journey Within…to consciously create your new “story” filled with infinite possibilities.
Love & Light
