"Where I came from"
My ACE score is 10 out of 10. Test your own ACE score →
Extreme adverse childhood experience — the kind that shapes the nervous system before you have words for what's happening. I know what it's like to feel lost, broken, disconnected from your body — and more painfully, from your own truth.
I've been hurt — and I've hurt others.
I went through surgeries, immune disorders, anxiety disorder, depression. Chest pain. Throat tightness. Solar plexus contractions. Chronic somatic symptoms and stress that no doctor could diagnose — but that were screaming everything I had never dared to say. I've lived through the extreme physical and emotional pain, the confusion, the suppression, the shame.
They weren't the problem. They were messengers. My body, my soul, my spirit — all trying to speak what I couldn't.
"The turning point"
My turning point wasn't a breakthrough.
It was an honest, trembling moment of meeting myself exactly where I was.
When everything I thought I had built fell apart.
It forced me to see how much I had minimised my own trauma. I had denied my childhood abuse, buried the pain, spiritualised it, rationalised it, and played “strong”. And eventually, all of that imploded—inside my nervous system, my relationships, and my sense of identity.
My healing only began when I stopped running and fixing.
When I found the courage to meet my inner parts.
To connect with the wisdom of my body.
To look at the naked truth—and stay.
"What I bring to this work"
I have worked with Forbes 100 leaders and New York Times bestselling authors — sitting with the stress, the pressure, and the quiet cost of carrying it all. I trained in Compassionate Inquiry, Somatic Experiencing, and the Three Principles.
But more than any training — I know this territory from the inside. The weight that doesn't lift. The patterns that survive every conversation, every self-help book, every attempt at willpower. The exhaustion of performing a version of yourself that isn't quite you.
I've worked with people carrying chronic physical symptoms that medicine couldn't explain, with individuals who had tried everything — therapy, mindfulness, medication — and still found something was missing.
What was missing was themselves. Their own body's intelligence — closer than they thought, and more trustworthy than anything they'd been told.
The practice of Being Yourself is the practice of returning — to the part of you that was never actually broken. When you stop running and start meeting yourself — something shifts. Not because you changed. Because you finally arrived.
