My purpose is to combine evidence-based scientific knowledge with ancient traditional wisdom to move, shift and release trauma from your being. The YES PLEASE, MORE PLEASE, life is possible for you, I promise.
To give you a little background on me, after graduating with my Honours Bachelor of Science at the University of Toronto in 2008, I was totally lost. I've always loved science; I was fascinated with how the body works and felt passionate about helping others heal.
I didn’t feel called to become a doctor and felt like nothing else big enough to pique my interest. I decided to dive into research focusing on how social housing affects mental/physical health and child development while also working at a bank to pay the bills. This didn’t fulfil my heart or soul; hence, I spent most of my time globetrotting. Partially to "find myself" but mostly to run away from the parts I wasn’t ready to face.
Somewhere between Fiji and the south of Spain, my research mentor suggested I become a Registered Nurse. I initially outright laughed at the idea, given I have watched my mother sacrifice so much being a full-time nurse and single mom. However, after a period of careful consideration, I realized that it may be the only way I could use my science degree while supporting others on their healing journey while opening the doors to more research possibilities, job options and a steady income. And, let's be real: I didn't have any better ideas. This didn’t feel like the final destination, more like the connecting flight getting me to where I was actually meant to go to.
Two years later, I completed my fast-tracked Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing and started working at St. Michael’s Hospital as a Registered Nurse specializing in Neurosurgery and Trauma. Neuroscience has always had a special place in my heart; I'm fascinated by the brain and its powerful ability to create, transform and guide the human experience. For a while, nursing was exhilarating, not realizing this was fueling my addiction to stress and chaos. I took pride in being part of the action and downright messiness of life at the hospital. My incredibly turbulent childhood made me the perfect candidate to rescue, self-sacrifice and push through for others; it was my identity.
I was also a downright magnet for havoc; hence, trauma nursing was the perfect storm for me. However, the excitement fizzled, and the toxic work culture focusing on strictly numbing and avoiding with partying, alcohol and travel caught up with me. Witnessing extreme trauma every single shift, lack of sleep or taking care of my own body coupled with my unprocessed traumas led to state of extreme burnout. Fundamental topics like self-care, trauma processing and nervous system regulation are not discussed in nursing school leading me to hit rock bottom real hard. Nursing did not allow me to help heal or hold space for others; instead, it showed me how disconnected I was from my own body, how precious life is and how badly I needed to be healed. Ooof, that's not what I was expecting.
You either heal your traumas or they will continue to run the show as you self-identify as the victim. The only way through, is to actually feel and process the trauma. I promise this is less painful than avoiding, numbing and ignoring the inner pain every single day of your life.
Through this hot mess nursing chapter, I fell in love with a neurosurgeon, thinking I just needed to be saved and, like always, run away. Spoiler: selling all my belongings and moving to Spain was not the answer. The trauma still ran the show and my dysregulated nervous system made my physical and emotional state unbearable. This is when my intuition initially came through. Was it because I was praying for an answer or because my spirit team legit couldn’t continue watching me make questionable life decisions? Who knows! I called off the wedding 4 months before the date, moved back home and finally began my healing journey. I began meditating, practicing yoga and taking care of my body. I thought I was on the right track until I sustained a catastrophic knee injury, had my abusive father suddenly pass away and had his wife take me to court over the estate. My world was shattered yet again, my heart even more broken and I essentially not a penny to my name. Anddd this was the best thing that could have happened to me. I lost everything and had the opportunity to rebuilt my life from scratch… exactly how I wanted it. What saved me? Reiki. Everything changed once I learned about energy and how to protect my own.
Reiki shifted and released decades' worth of personal, generational and sexual trauma while creating an outlet to process. This led me to learn about the nervous system, reprogramming my subconscious and somatic healing. Learning how to nurture my nervous system showed me how to manage little and no so little life stressors. Working with my subconscious mind allowed me to erase the limiting beliefs that were holding me back and realize anything is possible once I decide it is. Somatic healing connected all parts of me into one cohesive unit; mind, body and soul. These practices became my anchor in the chaos and were what led me to find my purpose, reconnect to my body and allow me to fall in love with my life. PS. I am not special, it is possible for you as well.
Fast forward to now. I nurse casually when I feel like it, I married my soulmate who I manifested out of thin air, I live in a cozy house in small town, I run a completely virtual coaching business working hours that perfectly work for me. #manifested Is my life perfect? Nope. Do I love my life the F out of my life and feel grateful for every lesson and trigger? Yes, your struggles build character, your triggers are your biggest teachers and everything is always working out in your highest good. And so it is.
You get to have it all. The YES, PLEASE, MORE PLEASE life with a side of GOOD ON TOP OF GOOD. All you have to do is decide. You are the writer of your story, please let go of the ones where you are the victim, struggling and nothing works out for you. No, thank you. My purpose is to guide women who feel disconnected from their bodies and paralyzed by their past into a state of joy and abundance. Happiness is a choice. Bliss is your birthright. Abundance is all around you. Let me show you how.
