I began noticing that I was feeling emotions differently and for a longer period of time than others in my life. I was affected and sensitive to people, loud noises, environmental smells, and other people's energy.  After any short training, travel trip, or conference I would get a migraine and be out of commission for days. After beginning to realize that I was both sensitive and overwhelmed, I learned about my empathy. This lead me to discover personal development and then I hired my first coach around age 19-20. 

Shortly after, a cascade of health issues arose. At that time, I was working as a sales trainer and running my own small business, while still in college. I was working hard and playing hard too.

I began dealing with even more health issues than I was dealing with from age 16-19 when I had high cholesterol, a very weak immune system confirmed by blood tests, no menstrual cycle, shingles, and autoimmune symptoms of pain.  My cravings were out of control and I was binging on fast food, sugar, treats, and gas station crap. Oh, and I smoked cigarettes from time to time too. After age 19, these issues all turned into more migraines, hormonal problems, digestive pain, and more unexplained issues (“autoimmune disease conditions”), and unknown heavy metal toxicity.

I learned early on the connection between the physical body and our emotional intelligence.

I had hired a life coach early in life and dove headfirst into mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

I was missing the basis of it all, however: my physical body health.

I was not grounded, trusting, or regulated in my own physical body.

In fact, I wanted to escape it.

Investing in coaching and mentorship helped me keep going and sometimes that investment was with money, sometimes time and energy too.

The biggest investment I have ever made?

The investment is in Me.

Loving me, Leading me, and Healing me - practice that is continuous.

I invested in myself with clear trust and commitment while knowing that there is no backup clause to get out of this. I am in this for the long haul and for life I have no doubt I will be successful in this lifetime at living out my highest service.  (for me, for you, for us).

I've built a business that has supported my son and me for over a decade and I have invested time into a very specific cause:

Somatic Freedom

(physical body freedom, trust, and sovereignty)

I don't say this to impress you.

I say this to convey to you my heart and I'm not here to waste your time.

In fact, I want to save it.

It pains me to see people spending years pointing their attention in the wrong direction and it taking longer for them to get the results that they desire.

These are some of the core values of Somatic Freedom:

• Investing in yourself by showing up for yourself/business/community every single day.
• Having a whatever it takes kind of attitude.
• Valuing growth and humbly and honestly admitting shortcomings.
• Growing with gratitude and excitement.
• Celebrating amongst community and peers.
• Regulation of your own system and Self Leadership.
