I carried guilt and shame for years, thinking if I stayed strong and kept moving, it would somehow fade. But it didn’t. It just grew heavier, quietly shaping how I saw myself. It wasn’t until I stopped running and started speaking my truth that I began to feel free. Let It Go was created from that place. It’s a listening space for those who are ready to release the weight they’ve been carrying. A space where your story is met with compassion, not judgment. Together, we’ll unpack the guilt, soften the shame, and make room for grace to flow in. This is where healing begins, with honesty, gentleness, and the courage to finally let go.

The pandemic disrupted more than routines - it reshaped identities , relationships and the way many of us relate to our bodies, boundaries and beliefs . For me COVID-19 wasn't just a global event; it was a personal reckoning. Isolation bought clarity, loss revealed what was unsustainable . In my own life I had to re-evaluate what safety meant, how I showed up in relationships an what parts of me were worth preserving - not just performing, especially during a time of great changes.

Dogs are fiercely loyal; they endure the hardships of Life alongside us, without judgment, without pause. During my darkest times my dog was there - a constant study presence offering love even when I felt unworthy. Most people wouldn't choose recovery over loyalty, but dogs don't ask questions; they simply walk with you through the storm. My journey in recovery is intertwined with the bond I share with my dog teaching me patients, trust, and unconditional love. At bond has been a lifeline, a teacher, and a mirror for my own resilience, showing me that honoring and maintaining loyalty through recovery is possible and profoundly transformative.

I survived human trafficking, a world built on fear, control, and hate. Escaping wasn't just leaving people behind - it was unlearning the lies about my worth and reclaiming my freedom. Healing meant shedding pain, prejudice, and survival mindsets to see the beauty and diversity and the power and love. I've claimed belonging to groups based purely off of hate for people they don't even know. I've learned the arrogance in hate but also the much needed presence of it in some circumstances which directly affect your well-being. Now, I try to help others do the same really trauma, move past hate, and rediscover the love and light inside them. Your past doesn't define your capacity for love - it can become the source of your strength, growth, and connection.

Growing up in Romania, food was more than nourishment—it was comfort, tradition, and a connection to home. When I moved to the United States, I faced the excitement of a new life but also the ache of missing my roots. At first, I tried to fill that void with food, holding onto flavors and meals that reminded me of family and familiarity. Along the way, I was diagnosed with diabetes, which forced me to face not just my health but the deeper emotions tied to eating and self-care. That journey taught me resilience, self-awareness, and compassion for myself. I chose to become a health coach to help others navigate their own challenges, combining my personal experience, cultural sensitivity, and heart-centered guidance to create lasting, meaningful change.

I grew up nestled between a National Wildlife Refuge and a National Park, where my earliest teachers were rivers, native plants, and the cycles of land and sea. Over the years, I’ve worked on organic farms, in a fishery, as a nature guide, and in youth education—each experience deepening my belief that nature doesn’t just teach us, it heals us. That path led me to become an ecopsychologist over 20 years ago, and later a neuroeconomist. I’ve always been fascinated by how natural systems shape our brains, our behavior, and our capacity to imagine better futures. For me, heliotropic idealism—orienting toward what brings light—has been a powerful tool for navigating pain, while phosphorescent mindfulness helps me stay connected to wonder when dreaming feels hard. I’ve learned that nature speaks through more than just sights and sounds; it speaks through our senses, instincts, and longings. I don’t have all the answers, but I know how to ask the right questions and how to listen with all of myself. I’d love to hold space for others who want to reconnect with the parts of themselves they may have forgotten—and remember their own “wordless voice of nature.”

I used to think burnout meant being tired. Like maybe I just needed a nap, a weekend off, or a better planner. But burnout isn’t just exhaustion, it’s a kind of soul-weariness. It’s waking up and feeling like your tank is on Empty, even after a full night’s sleep. It’s dreading your to-do list, feeling numb to things you used to care about, and quietly wondering if something is wrong with you because you just can’t anymore. For me, burnout came after years of trying to be the reliable one. The hard worker. The person who didn’t complain, who pushed through. I ignored the signs: the brain fog, the irritability, the constant fatigue, the Sunday dread. I thought rest was something you earned, not something you deserved just for being human. Eventually, my body and my spirit forced me to slow down. And in that stillness, I realized how much I had been running on fear—fear of being replaceable, of not doing enough, of letting people down. Burnout made me rethink everything: how I work, who I do it for, and what I need to feel okay. If you’re feeling depleted, disconnected, or just done—you’re not weak. You’re not failing. You’re probably burnt out. And you deserve space to talk about it.

The holidays can bring up a lot: loneliness, pressure to “be okay,” complicated family dynamics, old triggers, or the heaviness of trying to hold everything together. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just need someone steady to talk with, I'm here for whatever you need. It's your time. I offer grounded, nonjudgmental support from real lived experience. Whether you’re dealing with sadness, stress, shame, conflict, or the quiet ache of feeling unseen this time of year, you don’t have to sit with it alone. Our conversations can help you slow down, regulate, understand what’s coming up, and feel more in control of your emotional world. My approach is calm, thoughtful, and present. You set the pace. If you’re dealing with stress, conflict, emotional shutdown, I’ll help you slow down and center. If you need someone solid to talk with this holiday season, I’m here.

I spent years struggling with food sensitivities that kept me anxious, restricted, and constantly worried about what I could or couldn’t eat. Dairy, gluten, rice, almonds, eggs - the list just kept getting longer. Through meditation, self-love, and learning to shift my beliefs, I discovered how powerful the mind–body connection can be. Once I calmed my nervous system, my digestion healed, and I was able to enjoy foods I had avoided for years. Today, I eat everything freely and without fear. I’d love to be a supportive voice for anyone who feels trapped by food sensitivities. I can share what helped me, offer encouragement, and help you see that recovery and food freedom are possible.

It has been my experience that while being a wife and a caregiver for a spouse with disabilities and mobility challenges I have had to learn to prioritize my self-care and boundaries and limitations and know when I need to ask for help or call for help because I don't have the strength to pick him up or move him into his wheelchair under my own capacity and need help and that I need to take care of myself in the process

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 thought resilience meant pushing through—gritting my teeth, swallowing feelings, and forcing myself to ‘just deal with it.’ But that left me drained and butting against as brick wall. You see, strength isn’t just enduring struggles; it’s about adapting, processing, and allowing yourself space to heal. Self-compassion was the hardest piece. I didn’t realize how much I held myself to unrealistic standards, expecting perfection where I should’ve offered myself grace. Over time, I started embracing the idea that strength isn’t about ignoring pain—it’s about acknowledging it and choosing how to move forward with care. Through my work in peer support, I’ve helped others cultivate resilience in a way that feels sustainable—balancing the need for self-protection with the power of self-kindness. If you’ve ever felt like you’re being too hard on yourself or struggling to recover from challenges, I get it. Let’s explore ways to navigate life with strength and softness.

Can't tell you how often I chased a broken idea of self-improvement; trying to eliminate "flaws," and constantly striving for an ideal version of myself that felt out of reach. The more I pushed toward that impossible standard, the more disconnected I felt. But growth isn’t about perfection—it’s about exploration. We evolve not by erasing the parts of us we struggle with, but by understanding them, accepting them, and finding authentic ways to move forward. Philosophy has played a huge role in reshaping how I approach self-development, helping me see life less as a rigid path. It can be hard to navigate the tension between self-acceptance and wanting to grow—breaking free from unrealistic expectations and exploring self-reflection in a way that actually feels fulfilling. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt or felt like you’re "not enough," let’s take a step back. It doesn’t have to be about fixing—it can be about understanding and embracing the complexity of who you are.

Losing someone during the pandemic hit differently. Many of us carried our grief alone, without goodbyes, without rituals, and without the support we needed. The trauma of that time — isolation, fear, medical uncertainty, and disrupted mourning — can still live in our bodies years later. I lost my mom. Tell me about your loved one. This session is a place to gently unpack what was too overwhelming to process then, and too heavy to carry now.

Losing a job is profoundly disorienting. My job was more than a source of income and daily routine; it was my life, it defined me, was how I introduced myself. It was my social network, my family. I felt lost, confused and somehow like a really bad person. I discovered I had been in burnout mode and didn't know it. It felt catastrophic. I was in a fog....and the good news is you can wake up from that fog and take action. Like you are doing now: seeking help! There are strategies for coping with and overcoming these challenges. Reestablish routine, identify and organize your priorities. Taking time for self-assessment and self care gives you strength to manage yourself, making you a more attractive interviewee or entrepreneur. There's work to do to recreate yourself. That's what happened to me. I entered a career I'd never dreamed of, in an environment that draws on my intuition. Self-respect and confidence came quickly. This can happen to you. Let's explore it together

Does your brain often feel like a Windows 95 PC trying to run World of Warcraft? Just too many things all happening at once, and you ran out of RAM a decade and a half ago, and you're just hoping the shoestrings holding things together don't break? I'm not a doctor, but if this feeling is familiar, you might be a part of the ranks of the neurodivergent! Welcome! Diagnosis not necessary. Do you know what that Windows 95 PC was spectacular at? That snowboarding game where the Yeti chased you. And Clippy. VERY SPECIFIC THINGS. That is the neurodivergent experience. The hyper fixations, the special interests, the deep dives, and the rabbit holes. Whatever your special interest is, I want to hear about it. Info dump, or prepare something! As long as you leave room for questions, I am so there. This is your place to nerd out to your heart's content, with enthusiastic support. No one is going to say, "Victor Hugo, could you NOT talk about sewers to much?" Celebrate and share!

In high school I was passionate about fashion and dreamed of becoming a fashion blogger, but my family shamed me and I chose the “safe” path of graphic design instead. For 10 years I worked in corporate roles that gave me the chance to travel and live in incredible cities, but inside I felt empty — I wasn’t living my truth. In my free time I journaled and did inner work, rediscovering the passions I had buried. Fashion was still there, but I had also grown a deep love for wellness and nutrition. Earlier this year I became a Certified Holistic Health Coach, and now I help others reconnect with their true passions, nourish themselves inside and out, and create lives that feel beautiful, authentic, and aligned. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide who you really are, I’d love to support you on your journey.

If you tend to procrastinate, get stuck starting tasks, or lose focus halfway through, body doubling can make a world of difference. It’s a gentle, supportive practice that helps you actually do the things you’ve been meaning to, whether that’s something as big as what you've been putting off for months, or as simple as folding laundry, or many things in-between. It’s been such a supportive tool in my own life, making the process of getting things done feel more enjoyable. Sometimes just having someone with you gives that extra boost of motivation and accountability. When you book a session, I’ll be right there with you: steady and encouraging as you move through whatever needs your attention. Whether you’ve been avoiding it for days or months, you don’t have to do it alone. I’ve used body doubling myself in moments when procrastination had me frozen, and it’s been one of the simplest but most transformative tools. I’d love to hold that space for you to move through your resistance.

We'll begin by tuning into where you currently are energetically and in your life. You can either share or we can immediately dive into the meditation. From there, I'll invite you to close your eyes and we will begin the grounding meditation. You will drop back into your body and feel a deep sense of present moment awareness. These meditation sessions will leave you feeling lighter, clearer, more positive and confident.

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.
