How I Got Here

For much of my life, I was what I call “a chameleon.” I adapted to keep others comfortable, accepted their perceptions of me as truth, and wore a “front-facing” self that looked composed while I quietly drowned in shame, self-doubt, and emotional pain. I thought I was “bad.” I believed if people saw the real me, they’d turn away - so I never let anyone too close. From the outside, I “had it all together.” I was grateful, accomplished, spiritually aware, and doing “all the right things.” But inside, I was exhausted. Reactive. Self-critical. Carrying stories that weren’t mine - family patterns, survival strategies, and a deep belief that I had to earn my worth. My real healing began when I stopped trying to rise above my emotions, or demonize them, and learned how to meet them, be with them, and ultimately process them.

After years of searching, trying every modality I could find (and more than a few nights writhing around in the fetal position from emotional pain), everything changed when I discovered EFT Tapping. This simple, powerful technique helped me release what had been trapped in my body for decades - and opened the door to peace, resilience, joy, and emotional freedom I knew was possible, but felt out of reach.Through my own transformational journey - healing from narcissistic family dynamics and emotional abuse, untangling my identity from others’ expectations, learning to feel safe in my body, and remembering who I truly am - I discovered a truth I now live by:

Healing isn’t about becoming a “better” version of yourself. It’s about coming home to who you truly are.

Today, I help others do the same…and when I’m not working with human clients, you can often find me tapping with horses and riders - helping both find balance and calm in their partnership!
