What stands in the way, becomes the way
Marcus Aurelius
I am intense. I care, a lot. I believe anything is possible. I invest in my work, in myself, in my life, consistently.
Originally from Maine USA, I grew up riding horses and dreaming to be a Professional. I worked hard. I sacrificed everything. In the end, I changed, it didn’t work out, it wasn’t what I wanted. I wanted a BIG life. I wanted freedom and fulfillment, which the horse industry did not offer.
I went back to graduate school at 26 and worked in Community Mental Health in Richmond, Virginia; and Community Health outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These were very challenging years. Seeing the underbelly of the United States, the people left behind.
In 2019 I moved to Mexico City and embraced the excitement of a new culture, a fresh start, the ability to curate the best version of myself.
Throughout all of this, I struggled with Anxiety, Alcohol Abuse, Lyme Disease (2009), Epstein- Barr (diagnosed 2018) and Candida Albicans (diagnosed 2023). I also battled Post Concussive Syndrome (2014), Interstitial Cystitis (2016), Tinnitus & Hyperacusis (2018-2023).
At many times I felt hopeless, traumatized or dismissed by medical professionals. Because of these repetitive and unexplainable illnesses, I turned to Spirituality and ultimately Trauma Work, as I was seeing play out in my underprivileged Social Work clients. Finding the right Holistic Professionals, learning the intricate connections between illnesses and the mind and body; and turning the mirror on myself helped tremendously. But my financial security, relationships and health were still a mess.
Not one to give up or accept the “logical answers” I dug deeper and deeper, ultimately designing my own intensive Inner Child Process which eventually opened the door to significant and repressed childhood trauma. Each time I uncovered another layer, my health improved. Each time I worked more deeply with my Inner Child and my Shadows, my life improved.
There are many factors which make us the way we are. That create these specific issues for us to solve in this life.
But after finally solving my Chronic Illness, and in actuality, My Life, I am even more determined that we can all heal. We can all change. It’s not very easy, and not very fun. But you’re the only one who can save your own life. And I have gone through the fires myself to tell you that its possible.
