Are you willing to listen to me rant for a minute? Cuz I have lot to say on the subject!

​

I grew up in organized religion and from an early age I struggled with the disparity I saw between the intellectualizing of values and how they were, or rather weren't, personified. In all honesty, it fascinated me. I was eager to learn more about people, why we are they way we are, why we do the things we do, how social/community norms influence our choices, and how to change our thoughts, patterns and beliefs if and when they cause harm to our humanity.

​

I studied psychology and behavioral science while in college and began my journey into the human psyche. I couldn't enough on understanding the inner-workings of human beings. And the beginning of my spiritual journey in my mid 20's only fueled my passion. But it also came with some surprises...

​

I began to notice similarities between the religious dogma I grew up with and the 'non-religious, but spiritual' community I was now a part of. Over and over again was the focus on intellectualizing, conceptualizing and preaching (hello, love & light!) but without the personification.

I also noticed a theme of separation across both spaces. In the organized religion of my childhood, humanity was separate from the divine, less-than, dirty, disgraced. In the spiritual/wellness industry there was a separation between mind and body, where so much focus was placed on mindset and consciousness but neglected to address the complex, nuanced and lived realities of the embodied human being.

​

I realized that being the change I wanted to see in the world couldn't happen from a conceptual experience alone.

​

I realized there were enough people in the world with ideas about how to be happy, successful, compassionate, liberatory and fulfilled humans. I realized that in order to be and become my unique flavor of those things, I was going to have to practice embodying them, modeling them, not just thinking about them but personifying those values through exploratory action and experimentation.

​

And now that's how I help others. As a coach and guide, I help people connect to their values + vision from an embodied (not conceptual) space, so they can change their behavior and felt sense of self, so they can have their desired experience while building a life and biz they love from an empowered place.

​

CHANGE, GROWTH & TRANSFORMATION TAKE GOOD OLD FASHIONED PATIENCE, PROCESS AND PRACTICE.

​

​

Seriously, think about it!

Reading the top 10 best selling gardening books doesn't make you a master gardener. It's the experience of being in the garden, practicing your art, failing, fucking it up, sticking with it, refining as you go, consistently honing your craft that makes all the difference.

​

Now, this doesn't mean that we can't experience fast results or see things shift quickly. But I am so tired of the spiritual and wellness spaces touting secret formulas, magic pills, silver bullets and quick-fixes. Let's be honest, it's all just another version of escape from the complex majesty of our embodied human experience. Building a legacy and a body of work requires trust and the capacity to be with the nuanced experience of creation.

​

i believe there's a profound depth to life when we approach it from the perspective of practice versus arrival.

​

I believe in steady, sustainable growth and I've experienced the profound beauty in falling in love with process.

I realized how important it was to work from a wholeself perspective, so that embodied transformation [through a holistic process of authentic connection, mindset, strategy and execution] could truly take place.
