MY STORY: From Scientist to Healer

When I was a teenager, I lost a friend to cancer.  It was so painful to watch him suffer and lose his future, and to see the devastating effects on his family and our community.  It made us all feel so powerless.  And personally, I was angry + confused that no one could find a way to help him.  I remember just knowing that there was something else out there – why didn’t his doctors see it?  But at the time, I lost track of this thought because I was so overwhelmed by the chaos of it all: it felt like I was feeling everyone’s grief in addition to my own.

Fast forward 10 years when I realized that I had built my life around protecting and worrying about my physical health.  Only, I wasn’t doing a very good job at the protection part.  I had many unexplained chronic symptoms – upset stomach, foot pain, infertility, anxiety and depression.  And I became so drained after being around people that I needed days to recover. No amount of supplements, therapy, yoga, flower essences, essential oils, juicing, coaching, meditating…you name it…seemed to have a lasting effect.  Thus began my quarter-life crisis, and I resigned myself to living an exhausted life where the best part of my day was falling into bed at night to sleep.

 Then came a magical discovery.  I re-lived that "knowing" moment I had as a teenager and re-discovered the fascinating, subtle world of energy that most of us are conditioned to tune out from an early age.  In fact, my first career was as a scientist+engineer: a safe place where I could let my analytical mind block out my sensitivity superpowers + healing gifts.  But once the door to the energy world opened, I used my scientific prowess to do a deep dive into science-based energy healing, from Reiki to quantum healing. And they all basically say the same thing: Everything is energy.  And everything we need to heal is already inside us.  We just have to learn how to reconnect to our energy, the energy of the universe and the energy of the earth. 

Today, I have healed my chronic symptoms and live a fulfilling life.  I still have my messy moments, but it doesn’t take long to filter out the negativity of the outside world and return to that feeling of wholeness.  Then, everything just flows.  I even have the honor of working with people with cancer to help them tap into some of this magic.

If I can do it, you can do it. Live your life from the inside out®.
