Yes! People heal people!

🔥 Unpopular Opinion: People > Programs 🔥

I’ve seen packed rooms. I’ve seen polished events with perfect lighting, slick materials, and standing ovations.

But I’ve also seen a young man sit across from me, tears in his eyes, finally feeling seen for the first time.
I’ve held a drum in front of an elder in memory care and watched them light up with recognition.
I’ve sat with someone working through deep trauma and felt the whole room go still.

And I can tell you — the event doesn’t matter if you forget the person.
The program doesn’t matter if you miss the heart.
The numbers don’t matter if the soul across from you feels invisible.

Programs don’t heal people. People heal people.

What do you think — have we gotten so focused on programs that we’ve lost sight of the person? 💬👇

If you have never done breathwork, I am SO excited to be offering this soon! Breathwork has been transformational in my life releasing stored pain from my body, showing me where habits I didn't like were coming from, overall just fast tracking my healing journey. So much so, that in the last 3 months; every time I have done it for myself Spirit has called me out. Telling me I needed to share this powerful tool and we are almost ready. Casey Muze is putting the final touches on the audio track and I'm working to find the perfect space and hope to have it up in running next month. I can't wait to see you there!

When someone is struggling with high levels of depression or anxiety even the simplest tasks seem overwhelming. Getting out of bed, taking a shower, making a meal, going to the store, facing people. All if this is signs that your nervous system is overloaded. If this is you - do one thing for me - go to the fridge and grab and ice pack (or a bag of frozen fruit/vegetables) and place it on your chest. This cools off the vagus nerve and will start to do the work for you of calming your system. Or, another option, lay down with your feet up the wall. Lay in bed with either of these for 20 min then see if you can make it to the shower or out for a walk. If that seems like too much then just do this, ever day for a few days. One tiny step at a time. "If all you can do is crawl, start crawling." I see you. Your feelings are real. Your trauma is real. I'm proud of you for just surviving one more day. I got you.

Drumming for Alzheimer’s!

I love this expanded definition of trauma by Dr. Valerie Rein from her book Patriarchy Stress Disorder. “Trauma is any experience that made you feel unsafe in your fullest authentic expression and led to developing trauma adaptations to keep you safe.” How many of us have adapted our behavior in different situations in order to feel safe and acceptable to others? Many of us do so in our everyday interactions! And yet, this is one of the things that keeps us trapped in depression, self-hatred, anxiety and addictions. Learning to feel truly safe in your body and with yourself is possible. Come see me if you are ready for the journey.

Love me some brain and nervous system healing/regulation

09/04/2025

This statement feels harsh to me; but I also think it is true. It hit me after having a marketing conversation where I was asked to consider NOT sharing my current personal struggles because potential clients might want a therapist who is.....healed? arrived? The sentence was left hanging because there wasn't a good word but the idea was there. As I was examining my motivation for sharing my personal journey both past and present; this is what I found.

First, I want mental health struggles to be normalized and the stigma GONE. Because the truth is - we are all human, we all have nervous systems, all of our nervous systems get dysregulated sometimes. We either know how to work with it and heal it or we don't, but there is no shame in having a nervous system that gets activated. It happens to EVERYONE. Absolutely everyone. Your doctor, your lawyer, your dentist, veterinarian, accountant, pastor, your therapist. It happens.

Secondly, working in this field for over 20 years - I KNOW all therapists are not the same. I've had a handful myself over the years, I have worked with countless others as colleagues. The ones who are GOOD at what they do, the very best in the world, have all gone on their own healing journeys. Coaches without a degree, who have gone on healing journeys, provided better care and insight for me than some therapists I've seen that had not. If you have done it - you can walk others through it. If you only have the book knowledge, the schooling.....they might be some help; but from my experience it is significantly less effective. Personally? I will never see another coach or therapist unless they can tell me they personally have been on a healing journey. If they've walked it - I trust them to show me the path. Also, if anyone tells me they are healed, period. I KNOW they are lying. We never reach perfection. Again - human. All of us. Healing and growing is a large part of why we are here on this earth. It is a journey we will be on until we die. So choose: are you consciously healing? Or subconsciously avoiding? There isn’t a wrong or bad choice. It is simply a choice.

If someone had told me when I was struggling with high levels of depression and anxiety the help I needed was inside me, I would have been so angry. Probably raging mad. I think it would have compounded the feelings of hopelessness, shame, guilt and all of the heavy emotions that already existed. However, as I have healed, I have found that idea to be very very true. Inner child work providing the largest portion of that healing. Because I get to provide for myself all the love, nurture, compassion, and understanding that I needed. In doing so, those parts of self have healed, found joy again, felt safe, seen and valued. The experience is life changing. So if you have yet to experience the magic of parts work, do it now. You carry inside of you all the things that were missing. And if you don't believe me, or this idea makes you mad? that's okay. It is okay to doubt and be frustrated. Just ask yourself the question 'but what if?' and try it. Like an experiment. Come in to prove me wrong. However you come, whatever you are feeling, those things are welcome. I look forward to holding space for all of you.

I think often, when we have depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, addictions; whatever it may be, it feels too big to tackle. We may want change but change feels impossible. Especially if you have already lived a lifetime simply surviving through the pain. We then have decades of time that seems to say 'this is just the way life is.' However, experience isn't always a definite truth. That is why we are now saying "my truth" or "your truth" because we can both experience the exact same thing and we give it different meaning. In this case - THE truth is - you can heal. And while the path may be invisible to you in this moment? Just take the step. Watch the way open up for you. I promise you; it is there.

As I have healed and learned to love and care for myself better, I feel safe saying 'the starving stops." When I allow myself to fully feel and express my emotions, when I care for the parts of myself that are scared, lonely, or despairing - the result is feeling safe, seen, reassured, held. I also have more energy, joy, and flow as I go through each day. If you had told me 5 years ago this was possible I would have thought you were nuts. But - here I am. Living a full, beautiful life and I want to pass it on to as many people as possible. Click below to schedule your first session.

Learning to listen to your body and your heart is a skill that takes time to grow in. It is also invaluable. The reason? The sadness you feel, the anxiety, the numbness, even the physical pains in your body are trying to tell you something. Sometimes it is current information: I don't feel safe, they just violated my boundaries, I need rest. Other times it is things that have been held in our bodies for a long time and our body is tired of carrying. Physical illnesses are caused by repressed emotional pain, trauma, fear, avoidance. It's time to pay attention and release those things so that you can be free. Free to live a joy filled, healthy, peaceful life.
