After becoming blind I struggled with knowing what my purpose in life is. After speaking with counselers, church members and friends and lots of prayer I have found that I can help others through trials in life by sharing what I've been through and how it changed my life for the better.

MOTIVATION IS HARD!!! I know sometimes getting started is the hardest part in getting anything done! At times it's so hard to get moving, even at a snail's pace, but once someone else is involved.... BAM, I'm moving at Mach 5 to get it done! Maybe you just want someone to talk to while you fold laundry. Maybe it would be helpful if someone is just sitting quietly while you do something really hard emotionally, like going through belongings of a loved one after they have passed. There are numerous situations where having someone to just BE with you can be helpful and I'd be more than honored to be that for you. We can talk about anything, or nothing, whatever you'd like and whatever might help you get through whatever task it is that you are having trouble starting. I get it. I have nearly earned a Master's Degree in procrastination! I'm learning little tricks to get myself moving, the top of which is the Body Double... someone to be with while I do the thing I don't want to do.

Relationships can be messy. I know this not just from training, but from my own life. I’ve navigated the ups and downs of dating with my own attachment wounds, struggled through communication breakdowns, and had to learn how to honor my needs while respecting someone else’s. That’s why I understand how heavy it can feel when your heart wants one thing, but your mind is full of questions and doubts. In this session, I’ll hold space for you the way I’ve needed others to hold space for me: with no judgment, just validation, compassion, and clarity. Whether you’re dealing with relationship anxiety, mismatched attachment styles, or feeling unseen in your connection, you don’t have to carry it alone. We’ll slow down, name what’s really going on, and help you leave with more peace and perspective.

Heart-centered work supporting others is not light work. As someone who's spent a majority of my mature years holding space for others, I am more than familiar with burnout, compassion fatigue and sometimes just feeling a lot at once. It was tough carrying that alone, or expressing myself and being met with "why don't you find a new job?" When something is your passion and your purpose, just walking away when things get tough is not the suggestion that really lands. Sometimes we just need to be heard in our experience, and reassured of our inner strength ( after we've really had time to vent and decompress). Here is a space where you can give me the tea ( no HIPPA violations though, but I can hear the depersonalized stories), I am happy to be a gentle witness that gets it. If we'd like to discuss after-care plans or even rest in affirmations of why we do it, that's also an option, but not a requirement. It's okay to just be heard.

Life has thrown me more than my fair share of obstacles! Illness from childhood. Broken home. GenX childhood- so I basically raised myself AND my younger brother. Teen pregnancy... so married at 17. Abusive home, eventually into a single parent home. Latchkey kid. Yet.... I am still married, yes, to the same man, over 35 years later. We raised 3 kids into adulthood to be independent, and all college educated. I owned my own business and then ran a multi-level beauty company that I grew over 10 fold in 10 years, eventually having to leave due to my declining health, but I was very successful at what I did. I found successes and happiness in spite of a lot life has thrown at me. Resilience, creativity, resourcefulness, and the ability to get up and dust myself off to keep going even when I feel awful... all things I value, but I also value kindness, honesty, caring and friendship even more.

I grew up taking pride in what others said about me, yet struggling to believe it myself to actually step into my life's purpose. Running on external sources for self worth can only last but so long before I was met with authentically and meaningfully seeing me. With mindfulness, emotional intelligence and a continuous curiosity to see and understand myself and how I feel about what I uncover, while also learning of the countless different available healing modalities that support my inner balance and harmony with others, I am now able to be a flickering light that takes pride in offering support to others from a state of overflow, no longer depleting my own energy for other's approval.With practice, grace and patience, I have reached a loving space where I move through life's ups and downs with allowance and acceptance, something I thoroughly enjoy sharing with others as we all deserve to believe in and walk in our own enoughness and worthiness. My journey continues, and so does yours

When I moved from India to Vancouver, BC, there were moments when the quiet felt too loud—when the absence of familiar faces, languages, and places settled into my bones. I missed home in ways I couldn’t explain. Even surrounded by people, I felt alone. The smell of food, the sound of a song, or a festival passing by without loved ones would trigger waves of homesickness. I realized I wasn’t just missing a place—I was missing connection, belonging, and pieces of myself. Slowly, I began finding new ways to anchor—rituals that reminded me of home, small routines that made the unfamiliar feel safe. You don’t have to silence your longing to move forward. There’s space for both healing and holding on.

I've walked through disillusionment and the dark night of the soul - when everything I thought I knew about life, success and even myself, fell apart. I did everything the world said would bring happiness & fulfillment, yet found only emptiness where meaning should have been. In that darkness, I was stripped bare - forced to face my pain, my conditioning, and the illusions I once called truth. But it was there, in the silence, that I began to heal. Piece by piece, I rediscovered what cannot be taken - the light within, the quiet resilience of spirit, the knowing that wholeness isn't something to earn but to remember. My journey through the depths became my awakening. Now I walk with others through their own darkness, helping them see that even when all seems lost, the soul is never without light, but only waiting to be found again.

Being a mother in recovery is one of the hardest battles I've faced. I've had my children taken, felt the despair that relapse can bring, and fought hard to get them back. I know how it feels when the system meant to protect kids ends up pushing families apart. But I also know how to stay strong, rebuild trust, and reclaim your role as a mother. Through my own journey I discovered ways to survive, heal, and protect your family while staying in recovery. I'm here to help other mothers find that same strength and Hope.

On the other side of the well known "Let Them" theory is a beautiful hidden path to finding your way home--I call it,"LET ME" I discovered this hidden gem long before the popular theory exploded, I found it quietly along my own personal path of healing and self discovery. Stemming from childhood trauma/wounds and being a deeply "sensitive" and empathetic female, the role of "people pleaser, door mat" seemed fitting so I embraced it vigorously. Coming from a generation of young girls conditioned to "be nice" left me drained emotionally, spiritually, and without a clue as to who I was and what I was meant to do and be. Over-giving and constant self-abandonment left me disconnected from my divine "Spiritual Home". I walk my personal path each day, a step at a time, empowered, aligned and protecting my peace and with great gratitude I am "letting me"--guilt free.

Music reaches places inside us that conversation sometimes can't, and healing often begins when we allow ourselves to feel again. In this space, we use music as emotional reflection, expression, and connection. You can bring a song(s) that resonates with you, or we can choose one together based on what you're feeling. We’ll listen in the chat/screenshare and explore the emotions, memories, insights, and meanings that arise. Or we can just hang out and jam :) I've held 200+ Healing Through Music sessions on ShareWell, a peer-support platform, and it’s one of the most powerful ways people open up, self-discover, and find emotional release without pressure or judgment.

I was never made for an ordinary life — not the 9-to-5, not the ceilings others called ‘realistic,’ nor the fears that tried to talk me out of myself. Something in me knew this world was meant to bow to a higher purpose… and when I ignored that truth, my light nearly went out. I descended into the deepest parts of myself and still found a Hand lifting me. If you refuse to bring forth what God planted within you, that calling will trouble you until you rise. I learned to decrease — not in defeat, but in faith — so His life could increase. Slow down… feel that? That’s Life stirring in you. Your only task is to find what is sacred within and tend to it, honestly. If this speaks to your spirit, perhaps you’ve found someone strong and gentle enough to hold space for your becoming — where you can speak freely, be seen fully, and be reminded of the holy fire within you.

Ever since I was born, I have had ealth challenges. I was born with 2 holes in my heard and 2 bones in my head were grown together. Doctors didn't know if I would be able to see or how much I would see. My Mom was informed that I was a runt and wouldn't survive. After many, many surgeries I now am diabetic and blind. After loosing my sight in High School I went for rehabilitation to learn life skills. Being blind has challenges of its own as far as things being accessible medically since there aren't very many products that talk or that have braille. So, I have to find differant ways to accomplish things such as taking my medication or testing my blood sugar. Also after losing my sight, I had trouble sleeping. I now take medication for that but still don't sleep like I use too. Through all these challenges it has made me a stronger person and I know things happen for a reason.

Grief from loss can occur many times throughout our lives. From the loss of a dream or idea to the loss of a parent or spouse, grief can creep into our lives in many different ways. There is no right or wrong way to grieve but talking to someone can be a healthy way to cope when going through all of the ways we can be distressed. I've dealt with everything from the loss of my mother at a younger age after a debilitating illness to the sadness of losing the ability to continue in a career that I very much loved because my body had betrayed me. Loss of relationships has been a common thread throughout my life, from friendships to the closest and most important of all relationships. I've had heartbreak on every level. I've navigated loss of career, relationships, dreams & ideas, loved ones & pets (maybe one of the hardest to cope with!). I've gotten through some situations much quicker & easier than others, finding that going through, rather than around, tends to get me the best outcome.

I cared for Dad for 7 years, first in my home, then in his, each posing unique challenges. He was deferential in mine, but very controlling in his. I was building a professional practice, he was dealing with consequences of bladder cancer surgery. We had complicated feelings about each other: he praised my dedication to him, and feared I'd harm him with his medications; I resented leaving my home, being the caregiving sibling. I acted horribly at times (I locked him out of my RV which he dearly wanted to work on) and he reciprocated (making my friends feel unwelcome in his home). He'd call me by my mother's name. (Parental conflict was the norm growing up.) I came to have great compassion for her. We had moments of great generosity and we even had fun together, too. It brought out the worst and the best in us. But it never occurred to us to seek help, a trusted outsider to help provide perspective and verbalize frustrations. If this sounds familiar, let's work on it together.

I was faced with making a decision about an unexpected pregnancy twice in my life. Once at 17 and again at 25. The circumstances were different each time. At 17, my parents chose for me and at 25, I had to go through my own process to choose what was best for me. Both times, the choice was to terminate the pregnancy. It was the right decision for me each time. Both experiences had significant influence on my life and choices moving forward. I had to go through different grieving and healing processes for each termination. One thing I would have benefited from is someone to talk to who had been there.

Like everyone, I know the stress of finances. Because of this, I try to save everywhere I can by looking for coupons, finding the best deal, setting a budget for certain things, and trying to earn extra money to save for upcoming expenses or an emergency fund. Being on disability doesn't make this easy sometimes, even though my husband works a full time job. Though there is so much uncertainty in the economy, I have to pray and trust God with my finances. Trying to have the mindset that everything is in God's hands. He just wants me to manage everything wisely.
