🌿 My Healing Journey 🌿

I support people through life's hardest pivots—grief, transition, identity shifts, and rediscovery—because I’ve lived through my own. As a certified grief educator, life coach, and energy healing practitioner, I work with clients navigating loss, change, and the space in between. Whether you’re grieving, feeling stuck, or seeking new purpose, I offer grounded, compassionate support—because I know the terrain.

The Series of Losses That Changed Everything

For most of my life, I lived at full speed—working 60-hour weeks in a high-tech career I loved (or thought I did), raising two amazing sons with my husband of nearly 30 years, surrounded by pets, family, and lifelong friends. I’d already grieved the loss of my son, my father, and my brother—and discovered the power of peer support.

But nothing prepared me for the stretch of years that followed:

- The sudden and devastating death of my husband
- A layoff from my career of 24 years
- A metastatic breast cancer diagnosis and whirlwind treatment
- The shocking loss of my younger sister
- Moving my mother into memory care and then grieving her passing just three months later

Each loss brought a unique kind of grief. Each one asked me to surrender, release, and begin again.

The Turn Toward Healing

Amid this unraveling, there were moments of light. Not long after my husband’s death, I met a life coach who helped me begin to find footing in the chaos. Through that work, I started to feel glimpses of my future again.

From there, I kept walking. Grieving. Reflecting. Rebuilding. I moved through each transition with the support of friends, family, and a growing connection to my own inner wisdom. Along the way, I began to explore energy healing, spiritual growth, and metaphysical teachings that lit a new fire in me.

A New Calling

With time, grief gave way to vision. I began to study the very practices that supported my healing—grief education, life coaching, Reiki, crystal healing—and used them in real time to rebuild my life. I released what no longer served me. I clarified what truly matters. And I discovered a deep calling to support others walking through their own life pivots.

Today, I offer the kind of support I once needed:

- Grief coaching for honoring and integrating loss
- Life coaching for reconnecting with clarity and direction
- Reiki and crystal healing for emotional and energetic restoration

No matter what you’re facing, you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to hold space for you—exactly where you are. This work is my calling. This path is my purpose. And I’m so grateful you're here.

A Note on Loss

Grief doesn’t only follow death. It can arise after the loss of a relationship, a job, a role, a dream, or even the version of you that no longer fits. It’s never too late to speak your grief—and it’s always the perfect time to begin imagining a new way forward.
