What got me into this work

If I’m being honest, this didn’t start as some “calling” I recognized right away. It started as me trying to feel better… and slowly realizing there was a whole world of healing that no one had ever taught me existed!!

Here goes the shortest version of a long story about how I got into this work…

In college, I was introduced to NAET—Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique. At the time, I didn’t have the words for it, but something about it clicked in my soul.

NAET is a non-invasive, drug-free approach that blends things like chiropractic principles, acupuncture concepts, kinesiology, and nutrition. The idea is that energy blockages in the body can create symptoms, and the method focuses on clearing sensitivities and “allergens” one at a time—almost like your system is being reset piece by piece.

Even back then, as strange as it seemed to me, it planted a very important seed:

Maybe the body isn’t broken… maybe it’s communicating.

Maybe healing isn’t always “more medication” or “push through it.” Maybe there’s another layer.

Then came the real world!

A stressful job. Travel. Constant Pressure. Constant “go-go-go.” The typical post-college grind… except inside, I was juggling something much heavier: severe depression and anxiety.

I got married, and even then—still struggling.

So I did what you’re “supposed” to do.

Therapy. Psychiatrists. Psychologists. Multiple medications. Different approaches. Different doctors. Different opinions.

And honestly? At one point, I became numb.

Not numb like “calm.” Numb like I couldn’t feel joy, but I also couldn’t feel sadness. I was just… there.

And I remember feeling crazy sometimes, like, “Is this just who I am? Is this my life forever?”

The one thing I knew helped—every single time—was exercise (the gym was and still is my happiest place, well one of the top 5)!

It was like the only moment my brain would clear. My mind would quiet down. My body felt strong. I could breathe again. Even if it was temporary, it was proof to me that there was something in my system that could shift.

But the truth is… my spiritual awakening and biggest turning point in my life was post divorce. Followed by one bad decision, after another and feeling completely lost.

That was my catalyst. It forced me to wake up & truly find myself again.

It forced me to stop running on autopilot and start asking the real questions:

• Why am I suffering like this?

• What is underneath all of this?

• What am I carrying that I don’t even realize I’m carrying?

And that’s when I started getting introduced to a completely different world (this is where things get exciting)!

I was introduced to energy work— emotional clearings, dimensional dowsing, myofascial release, somatic release, EMF tapping, Crystal singing and Tibetan bowls, Emotion Code, etc… all kinds of alternative healing methods that were so different from what I’d known.

I was so skeptical at first. No one had ever mentioned these types of alternative modalities. But once I started this work, that’s when things started to shift. Drastically!

This is also when I learned I was an empath.

This is where I learned why childhood memories—things I thought I had “moved past”—had actually impacted me way more than I realized. And I learned something that changed everything:

Your body stores what your mind tries to forget! And, if those emotions don’t get processed, they don’t disappear. They get stored—physically, emotionally, energetically.

For the first time, I started understanding that healing wasn’t just mental. It was whole-body: Physically, emotionally, spiritually… everything started changing.

Then I started seeing energy healers regularly. I was introduced to Reiki and Dimensional Dowsing… and I can honestly say:

This is when the real work started!!

I could not believe how much better I felt after each session. I craved it! I couldn’t wait for my next session because I felt so good afterwards and I was finally feeling different. My nervous system finally recognized safety.

For the first time in my life, I was able to completely relax… and actually listen to my body. I didn’t even know that was possible. No one ever taught me how to do that.

I had never even heard someone say, “Your body is trying to tell you something.”

I just thought you were supposed to keep going, keep pushing, and power through. But in those sessions, things came up—memories, emotions, sensations—and because I trusted the amazing women who were guiding me, I finally felt safe enough to open up and talk about what surfaced.

And it felt… so magical!!

Not magical like “woo.”

Magical like: I’m coming back to myself!

Spiritually, I expanded in ways I never expected. My life changed. My inner world changed. My relationship with my body changed. And I realized I wasn’t broken—I was carrying unprocessed pain, stored emotions, and a nervous system that had been trying to protect me for years.

This is the real reason I do this work. I truly don’t think people realize there is help available outside of traditional medicine.

I also believe this so strongly: You don’t have to choose one or the other.

Traditional medicine can be necessary and life-saving.

But this kind of work—energy healing, emotional release, nervous system support—can be life changing too.

You can do both! And when you combine them? That’s where the transformation happens.

That’s why I want to help & educate other people on these alternative modalities —especially the ones who feel like they’ve tried everything… the ones who are tired, anxious, shut down, overwhelmed, need a nervous system reset, or numb… the ones who know deep down there has to be something more than just surviving.

Because I’ve been there…

And I’m living proof that healing is possible and your light can shine again!!

P.S.

🎵 And one more full-circle piece I can’t leave out: sound has always been part of my healing, even before I knew it. I played violin and piano when I was young — I was even first chair violist in our local orchestra — and I loved it! I just didn’t understand what music was doing for my nervous system back then. At some point, I quit… and life got loud in other ways. But now, coming back to sound through crystal bowls and sound sessions feels like coming home to the part of me that always knew: vibration changes things.
