Welcome to Transcending Trauma
This space is about living from your potential, not your past - where spiritual awakening & healing brings emotional freedom, somatic awareness, & sovereignty.
If you are a high-functioning adult feeling stuck, struggling, starting over, or striving to play bigger - you might want to keep reading.
An Awakening I Did Not Want
A midlife divorce opened up a Pandora’s box that resulted in PTSD, the realization of the true impact of childhood trauma, and a complete dissolution of life as I knew it. This was an awakening, a call to an adventure I did not want.
My journey to transcend trauma began with a voice inside me telling me that there was a purpose to what was happening (it would take me years to find that purpose) and a decision to find myself - my true Self, not the one I had been told I was or had come to believe myself to be.
And I began to understand why so many of us never do.
Why do we play small?
The Heroine’s Journey
Whether you are standing at the edge of your own unraveling, already deep in the middle of it, or further along and hitting walls you didn’t expect - this is for you.
Joseph Campbell called this the hero’s journey. With deep respect for his work, in my world, it is a heroine’s journey. It begins with a disruption to the ordinary world and a call to something greater. At first, the heroine refuses. Perhaps that is where you are now. Or perhaps you have already leapt and find yourself in the disorienting in-between, facing things you didn’t anticipate.
Either way, you are not lost. You are in the middle of the story.
What the Journey Asks
This work will ask something real of you. Not because something is wrong with you - but because the patterns we are unraveling are deeply held, woven into your nervous system and your sense of self over a lifetime. It is not linear. There will be moments when it feels like you are going backwards - and those are often the moments when the deepest work is happening.
The women who find their way here are rarely doing it for themselves alone. They want to break cycles, find the relationships they deserve, and bring something back from this journey that makes a difference beyond their own lives. They are already the heroine. They already carry the elixir.
Your Guide
Every heroine needs someone who has walked the path before her, knows the terrain, and can be a steady presence through the uncertainty of the in-between. As a trauma specialist who has walked this path, that is what I am here to be - not just a guide to the map, but someone who knows what it actually feels like to be in the territory.
My approach begins not with what is broken but with what is already working - reflecting back the courage it took to get here, the strength that has carried you this far, and the gifts you have been dimming for too long. What I bring is not just knowledge but the lived experience of someone who has crossed the threshold, faced the trials, and returned home transformed. I have spent years studying, training, and working with clients to develop the practices and frameworks that made my own healing possible - and that I now share to help you discover the new possibilities waiting for you.
That is what lights me up and why I am here.
What You Will Find Here
This space weaves together science, somatics and spirituality as an integrated path back to yourself - to understand why you are the way you are, to release what your body has been carrying, and to find the strength and meaning to keep going when the path gets hard.
What you will find here is not a quick fix. It is education, practices, and frameworks that meet you where you are and offer you something you can actually use. And if you are ready to go deeper, working together takes you into the experiential, embodied work that creates lasting transformation - walking you through the journey in your body and your nervous system - your actual life.
Both are real, both have value, and only you know which one you are ready for.
Your First Step
If something in these words has stirred a recognition, a longing, a quiet knowing that it is time - I invite you to take one concrete step.
The Live Your Potential Assessment is a complimentary guided conversation that begins before we even meet. You will identify the area of your life you most want to transform and arrive at your own recognition of your growth edge - not a diagnosis from the outside but a clarity that comes from within.

One Truth to Carry With You
You already are everything you want to be. The very fact that you can feel the longing for something more, something truer, something that finally feels like you - that longing is not evidence of your lack. It is evidence of your wholeness trying to find its way home.
The journey is not about becoming. It is about remembering
