I lived a very fast paced life for several years, work hard play harder as I said then. After college I worked in Public Accounting for 7 years, hours and expectations were high across the board. During that stint it was my community outreach work that kept me engaged with the Company. I spent my free time with friends, often drinking or hungover, not aware that I was using it to stay constantly disconnected from my body.

​

In August 2018, my best friend passed away unexpectedly at the age of 26. With the grief came guilt of the wasted weekends hungover in bed and the times I said no to making memories. That was when I started to question my lifestyle choices and make small changes, physical then mental, which led me to exploring different healing modalities. As someone who got in trouble in school for talking too much growing up, the idea of meditation always confused and scared me. That started to change when I read Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn, introducing me to a technique of mindful meditation that made sense to me. Shortly after in yoga training I learned about Vipassana meditation and signed up for my first 10-day sit; this is where I first heard the pali word anicca.

​

Anicca is the law of impermanence, the idea that all things share the same underlying characteristic of arising and passing away, everything is constantly changing.

​

Through meditation I began to unwind conditioning and trauma in the body from the inside out. Then I discovered the Fascial Maneuvers designed by Human Garage and added them into my routine. I have found the maneuvers have similar benefits to working with mindfulness and meditation; they have allowed me to create space to respond rather than react, to understand myself and past conditionings betters, and to embrace change more wholeheartedly!

​

I am building out what I like to consider my own personal healing toolbox . My goal is to help my clients explore and adapt these modalities to add to their toolboxes through group and private healing sessions!
