For as long as I can remember, I have had an ache within me that yearned to belong.
From a young age, I could sense that I was different from those around me. I unconsciously became a chameleon that was skilled at giving people what they seemed to want.
I did not feel safe
to be me.
Alongside the chameleon,
I had a rebellious spirit.
I knew in my heart I was a leader.
On the outside, I was perceived as
confident, strong, and bold.
On the inside, I felt passionate, yet contained, caring, yet detached.
More than anything
I felt alone.
Around 14 is also when I had a spiritual awakening of sorts. It was a subtle sort of knowing that came in with great clarity that I was a spiritual being, that we all were. I did not grow up with any religious or spiritual influence from my family.
I just knew.
This knowing was a spark that continued to be fanned into a bright fire within me. I began to seek communities that could foster the inquisitive stirring I had. For years, I traveled far and wide seeking, finding, and seeking some more.
I was looking for something outside of me
to tell me I was worthy of being all of me …
For years, personally and professionally, I attempted to “fix” others’ problems
(that is how we are conditioned after all)
unknowingly thinking this would bridge the gap in my heart and dissolve the guard I had so well assembled.
Like many women, I experienced sexual trauma as a girl.
It took me many years to have compassion for this little girl within me and not blame myself.
My comfort zone was
in the spiritual realms.
It was time to come home
to my body.
debilitating
self-shaming & blaming
kept me
contained & small.
Coming home to my body and my sexuality has been an arduous and subtle journey.
It became about creating safety within myself, for myself.
I have a profound curiosity about the body and understanding this magnificent vessel.
I contemplated going to med school and opted not to as I was aware of the limitations of the conventional medical system (plus I was a touring musician.) I sensed an even more expansive and comprehensive relationship to healing than these systems taught. I spent many years exploring and learning alternative healing modalities that came closer to what I sensed was possible.
The Wheel of Whole Body Healing is
a framework based on decades of training + experiential wisdom + education.
