How my Journey began

I have always been a seeker. I began my journey as an artist, receiving my Masters of Fine Arts degree from Tulane University while exploring expansive concepts in consciousness and quantum mechanics. I felt somewhat free as an art maker, but my mind and heart were not satisfied- I always felt that “there had to be more to life than this”. And so, for period of seven years I traveled to Peru to practice and study Amazonian plant spirit shamanism. These experiences then led me to India where I trained to become a Kundalini Yoga teacher. Ever seeking, I also sought meaning and direction by training in other modalities such as Kundalini Yoga Therapy, Vedic Astrology, Hatha Yoga and Chi Nei Tsang. I was always craving something that could help me make sense of my western mind in the context of my culture, while freeing me of a sense of being lost and broken.

I have personally experienced many ecstatic and expansive states in the spaces of plant medicine, psychedelic therapy, practicing yoga and also as an artist. I have found that those states always required me to come back together and to find new meaning and direction while holding the insights and wisdom that came from those states. Fortunately, I have also been able to experience intensive psychedelic therapy. However, at the end of that process, I knew I needed to continue to work with the images and visions, with the revelations and new insights that I had received while also needing to be fully present to my life. I found Jungian coaching to be the support that I needed to integrate all of my inner parts and to arrive at the knowing that I am whole and complete.

My niche and passion as a Jungian Life Coach is in supporting people who are receiving or working with psychedelic therapies and practicing other spiritual modalities; people who are experiencing expansive states and who are struggling to find meaning and understanding while moving forward to become whole and empowered as the highest expression of their true self. After these big experiences they may be asking the big questions such as “Who am I?” and “What does anything mean?”  Or “where do I go from here?” and they may be in need of support in integrating fragmented parts of themselves that have come to light in their process of healing, self exploration and spiritual awakening.

I have always been a seeker, but through the process of individuation and Jungian shadow work, I would say I am a finder now too. I have found my true nature, purpose. I am passionate about being a guide for my clients who are ready find their true nature, are ready for lasting change, and who are doing the hard work on their “path of the heart”.
