My Story
My Sensitivity is a superpower and a great gift but also comes with many challenges...
When I was a child, one of my superpowers was...
I remember lying in bed most nights starting at about 4 years old pondering the purpose of life and what lies beyond the physical experience of life as we know it. I have always felt a strong connection with Spirit and a purpose-driven life of transformation and service to the greater good in the world.
But my sensitivity was hard as a child because...
I never really felt like anyone understood me or fully "saw" me. I was fortunate to have a loving family but I also experienced a lot of loss at a young age so I started to keep my heart more guarded and I hid many of the thoughts and feelings and parts of myself that I didn't believe would be accepted by others.
As a teenager, one of my superpowers was...
excelling at school without having to put too much effort into it. I was bright, intelligent, creative, and had a photographic memory.
When I was at school my sensitivity was hard because...
I was painfully shy and would rarely speak up in class or say what was really on my mind and in my heart with most people around me...instead I tried my best to fit in and "fly under the radar" while saying and doing what everyone else was saying and doing. As a result, I started to feel bad about myself and my self-esteem and confidence plummeted.
When I was a young adult one of my superpowers was...
a profound connection with nature. I communicated with the trees, the flowers, the butterflies, the moon, everything in nature and learned so much about myself through these interactions, and I still do. I have always felt a deep love and respect for the sanctity of all life and the interconnectedness of everything. Immersed in nature is where I feel most nourished.
When I was a young adult my sensitivity was hard because...
I felt more and more overwhelmed by the choices and decisions I needed to make as an adult. This often led to procrastination and feeling stuck with no way to move forward. part of my life’s story, like many of us, to experience loss and heartache in many forms, isolation where I’ve felt like a “fish out of water”, and frequent periods of transition where my external comfort zone has been removed. It has not been an easy road and continues to challenge me at times but I’ve learned to welcome everything as a blessing as I know that it is all for my highest growth and has been exactly what I’ve needed. These challenges have given me the opportunity time and time again to turn inward for stability and guidance from my own higher conscious self that is eternal and one with everything.
I have come to see how all of these pieces fit together into a bigger picture of clearing our old blocks, renewing the natural energy flow within us, attuning to our higher conscious guidance, and shining our light. I have been honored to work with people and teach classes and workshops with all ages around the globe. I am immensely grateful for all of the beautiful souls I have been fortunate to know and collaborate with on this journey thus far and for all of the loving support I’ve received. I am also continually inspired and encouraged by the magic that unfolds when we gather together with the intention of healing and returning to loving harmonious relationships with ourselves, each other, and the planet.
Now, my HSP serves me in many ways by...
But the one thing I was certain of was that in this lifetime I was given a sensitive body and a brain that processes things in a different way from the majority of the population for a reason! As I progressed on my journey of healing, understanding, accepting, and loving myself more and more, I began attracting other highly sensitive and empathic people through the work I was doing that has evolved over the last 15+ years. My work has become this wonderful weaving together of support for the soulfully sensitive of body-based wisdom and movement including sacred dance, expressive arts therapy, meditation and breathwork, Cutting the ties that bind/Phyllis Krystal Method, intuition strengthening, divine guidance and universal spiritual teachings, Biontology light work, nature connection/ecotherapy, ceremony and ritual, and community building
