My Story

​

I was raised in a high-demand religion that quietly, yet powerfully, shaped the trajectory of my entire life. It made my world small, limited my choices, silenced my inner voice, and placed invisible restraints on my growth. Over the years, the stress of ignoring my own needs and intuition, combined with the cognitive dissonance of being in places and supporting messages I didn't agree with, mounted.  Eventually, I could no longer ignore the gnawing feeling that I was betraying my own inner voice. At that point, my faith crisis became life-altering.

 

In 2016, I made the decision to leave both my religion. That one decision dismantled everything I thought I knew, including my identity, my purpose, my entire community, even my marriage. And yet, it was the first true act of self-leadership I’d ever taken.

​

The years that followed were brutal. I found myself alone, drowning in grief, confusion, and emotional pain. I was no longer who I once was, but I didn’t yet know who I was becoming. I became reactive, burnt out, and lost. I couldn’t keep pretending to be okay. I had to make a change.

​

That’s when my real healing began.

 

I turned to evidence-based psychology, particularly approaches like Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Awareness, Attachment Theory, and IFS (Internal Family Systems), which helped me understand how my nervous system was trying to protect me and how my past experiences had shaped my inner world and coping mechanisms. I finally found language and tools for the chaos inside me. But it wasn’t until I began integrating spiritual practices like breathwork, meditation, and conscious presence, that I experienced deep, lasting transformation.

​

Through the fusion of these approaches, I found a way to create a sense of safety and stability within myself, rather than constantly chasing it from others. I learned to regulate my emotions, heal old trauma, and show up for my life with clarity, grace, and power. And now, I teach others how to do the same.

​

Rooted EQ is the culmination of my own journey, born from years of pain, searching, and rebuilding. It’s a framework for those who feel reactive, overwhelmed, or trapped by old emotional patterns. It’s for those who’ve tried to talk their way out of suffering but have realized that talking isn't enough; you have to feel your way through and out. It’s for those who long to stop just surviving and start creating a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and free.

​

The Rooted EQ method helps you process what has been so you can create what you want instead. It's about tending to your pain body instead of feeding it, pausing, becoming aware, and nurturing the parts of yourself that were never given the care they needed. It's about bring conscious awareness and presence to yourself, and becoming the secure attachment you've always needed. 

​

The truth is, and has always been, that no one else can give you what your soul is aching for. Only you can. So long as you seek it outside of yourself, you will continue to be lost. Together, we will help you heal and discover the core, higher self that you've always needed.
