My personal and professional journeys are interwoven, so I cannot tell one story without the other.

The journey that inspired my professional path began long before I ever dreamed of being a Breathwork Facilitator. When I was just four years old I experienced the loss of my mother to suicide. While I could never have understood it at the time, that loss would shape much of the path that followed.

Growing up, I became deeply curious about people and the ways we make sense of pain and loss. That curiosity eventually led me to become a Mental Health Counselor and Registered Play Therapist. I found myself drawn to working with children especially through the language of play, art, and Jungian sand tray therapy. There was something about witnessing how a child could reveal the deepest parts of themselves through symbols, metaphor or a world created in the sand—sometimes without saying a single word. It felt like Magic.

Over time, I have discovered that this was also what a young part of me had always wanted—to be truly seen, attuned to, accepted unconditionally, and held within a safe container. I know now, the space I was creating for children was also showing me what I needed to create within myself.

Becoming a mother only deepened this journey. I (finally) had the courage to begin my own therapy, facing parts of myself that I had buried for a long time and acknowledging my own protective patterns—like abandoning myself through people pleasing—that had shaped my life.

Then, following ongoing challenges navigating my role as a mother, managing my work-life balance and a significant medical trauma during my second pregnancy I found myself struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, and a growing sense of disconnection from myself and my life. I could no longer hide from my greatest fear—leaving my children in a world without me, without their mother.

I had already experienced the benefits of therapy firsthand, but I began to recognize that my body and spirit were asking for something more. It was no longer enough to understand my experiences intellectually—I needed a space that helped me step out of the constant activity of my mind and reconnect with the wisdom of my body. I was now on a mission to find this space.

This new curiosity led me down many unexpected paths: a psychic medium, meditation, yoga, Reiki, breathwork, hypnosis and even a psychedelic journey. Each experience offered something unique, but together they reminded me of something I had forgotten—that I am not alone, that I am deeply connected, and that there is far more to this life than what we can always see or explain. In many ways, it felt like discovering magic all over again. And what these experiences ultimately taught me was that the magic was never something outside of myself, nor something I had to earn. It was already there. Beneath the noise, beneath the striving, beneath the layers of protection. Waiting patiently for me to slow down long enough to notice it.

Meanwhile, I was having a parallel expansion in my professional life—shifting to working with adults, exploring new modalities that seemed to connect all the work I had done as a child & family therapist and then finally my calling to become a Trauma informed Breathwork Facilitator. The process of completing my own transformational Breathwork Journey helped me gain greater clarity, deeper self-understanding, and the courage to make meaningful changes in my life.

Along this journey, one thing has stood out. That I was seeking connection. Only to find I have always been connected—supported, challenged, and guided by remarkable people—family, friends, partners, colleagues, teachers, professional mentors, service providers, clients and beings beyond my own human comprehension. All catalysts to reconnect me with hope, my Light and my Self.

Wild at Heart was born from this journey. It is a space rooted in the belief that none of us are meant to do this alone, and yet there is nothing outside of ourselves that can truly heal us.

The work I offer is not about rescuing, fixing or “healing” anyone, it is about creating space—to slow down, listen inward, and gently reconnect—to your body, your emotions, all the parts of you that have been waiting for you—but most of all to your own magic and inner wisdom.

Even in our hardest seasons, there is something within us that continues to reach toward life, freedom, meaning, and hope.

I’m honored you’re here,
