As a ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, I have to educate my patients about the healing crisis.
Itโs when the body starts to release years of tension, and instead of instant relief, things may feel more intense.
Itโs messy and uncomfortable, but itโs also a sign that deep healing is happening. Sometimes things have to fall apart to be transformed in a new way. Traditional methods often manage symptomsโฆbut never truly reorganize the body.

Back in 2010, I was 3 years into running my private practice in the heart of Georgetown, Washington DC. It was a dream I had for years that divinely came to fruition in 2007. When I was 3 months from giving birth to my first son, I was torn.
How could I give 100% to both?

It felt like a part of me was dying.
I eventually coined it an โego burialโ because it was something I identified with, but it wasnโt who I truly was.
On the other sideโฆ
I discovered a freedom I hadnโt experienced before.

Sometimes, transformation doesnโt feel like growthโฆ
It feels like surrender. Or worse, like dying.
But thatโs often what makes space for the life we truly want.
