A Little More About My History...

 

I grew up in a quite 'disembodied' way - i.e. I was out of touch with my emotions & inner sensations.

 

I could tell you how I wanted to feel but not how I actually felt. I easily & readily dissociated from my body and emotions, particularly when it was unpleasant, or I didn't know how to handle what was going on.

 

I would get overwhelmed, confused and lose my sense of self often. 

​

I went through my share of unhealthy, even 'toxic' relationships. And I consider myself a recovered people-pleaser. 

 

In my younger years, I lived much of my life from the neck up - I could impress with my intellect, artistic skill, organizing & care-taking people & events - but I couldn't authentically tell you if I was actually happy to see you or would rather spend the evening alone reading a book.

 

I was a good 'worker', for many years, however I lacked connection to my inner sense of direction & purpose in life. 

 

Over time, this left me quite flat, numb, depleted, uninspired and wondering what the hell was this life for, if this is what it's gonna be like. 

 

Through searching for my own truth over the years, I worked through many self-help programs, therapy sessions, motivational memes and anything else I could find to point me in the 'right' direction.

 

Through a series of beautiful coincidences (synchronicities for my Jungian peers), I discovered embodiment work - and I fell in love.

 

I knew this is what I had been searching for all along. In a short time, I was able to navigate my emotional world with confidence, 'hear' the wisdom inherent in my body, and begin directing my life in a way that has given me genuine joy & fulfillment. 

​

This has given me purpose now, and that is the greatest gift. 

 

How I was living is a symptom of our modern times - I know this work can help so many others as well.
