Walnut Creek & El Dorado Hills, California.

Helping you seize the golden opportunity of living each day to the fullest with no regrets.

I Believe YOU are the Expert to YOUR Healing.

You long to feel connected — to yourself, to others, and to something greater than your pain.

When life’s stress, loss, or trauma disconnects you from that sense of safety, your body remembers.

Here, you and I listen to what your body already knows: healing begins where safety is restored.

You hold the key to your journey, I invite you to open your HEART for deep inner healing.

LETS BEGIN TODAY

You have been on survival mode. But what was working then is not working now.

You’ve always been a people pleaser, hoping to fit in and be accepted. You are always last to eat, and never fully enjoy group activities because you’re busy tending to others. You’ve always been a giver, but neglected to take care of yourself.

But lately, you have more been short tempered and lashing out at loved ones without even knowing why.

Many days you find yourself thinking about the past, and it makes you feel anxious. You start to feel pain in different parts of your body, and you have trouble breathing. You think you’re just sick, but your doctor tells you that everything is fine. But you know what you experienced was real.

Those unwanted negative thoughts keep racing through your head. You tell yourself that it’s just a phase, and that it will pass. But in reality, it is hard to admit that you’re struggling.

You feel foggy, gloomy and stuck. You usually have it all together, but now you find yourself feeling like you never do anything right.

You tell yourself that all you need is a break, so you take a long vacation. But in reality, the pain just keeps coming back.

You have run out of gas and have nothing left to give of yourself.

You have reached a point where enough is enough. It is time to try something different.

It is time to rebuild yourself and find the purpose in your life. Together we can explore ways to rediscover your authentic self.
