A Holistic Healer’s Perspective
How I Came to This Work
Over the years, my own experiences with struggle, loss, and renewal have shaped the way I understand healing. I have walked many paths in search of wholeness and explored countless traditions and practices along the way. I became a certified yoga teacher, a Reiki practitioner, a trained herbalist, and a certified Clinical Aromatherapist. I have owned two wellness brands, moved from life in New York City to California’s redwood forests, practiced plant spirit shamanism and Zen Buddhism, studied Japanese tea ceremony, and spent years exploring the connection between the body, the mind, and the natural world. All of it, the science, the spirituality, the stillness, and the struggle, has been part of the same journey.
What It Means to Heal
What I have come to understand is that no single method or practice holds all the answers. Healing is not found in constant seeking. It begins when we finally stop running.
It is not about being happy or balanced all the time. It is about being able to sit with what is, to meet ourselves honestly, and to listen to what the body and spirit are trying to say. When we ignore or repress what we feel, those emotions do not disappear. They live in the body, shaping our health and our peace of mind.
In both my own experience and in the lives of those I have worked with, I have seen that when we begin to listen inward, healing, and true, lasting inner peace and happiness become possible.
This is what The Way invites in all of us, the understanding that healing is not something we chase, but something we allow.
