MY HEALING JOURNEY
(and why I decided to become certified as an Integrative Health Practitioner for Highly Sensitive Souls like me!)
——————————————————————————————————————
In my 20’s and 30’s, I seemed well adjusted to life, running a successful company in New York City and making award winning films, comedy, inventions and environmental and beauty journalism for MTV News and Free People that was collectively featured on mainstream television and in magazines and seen by millions of people.
______________________________BUT BEHIND THE SCENES,
despite any external accolades or mainstream success, I spent most of my life feeling sick, tired and disconnected from myself, plagued by anxiety, chronic exhaustion, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, insecurity, Electrosensitivity (EHS) and other “fun” things that very often derailed my career pursuits.
—————————————————————-
In fact, my health felt like a “full time job” and it was very hard for me to have the kind of impact I wanted when I was always feeling so lousy.
CAN YOU RELATE?
————————————————————————————-
Conventional therapy from Ivy-league trained NYC psychiatrists, dozens of self help books, yoga, meditation and antidepressants never quite helped me the way I hoped.
————————————-—————————————-
NO DOCTOR COULD SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS “WRONG WITH ME” AND IT WAS ANNOYING (AND EXPENSIVE) TO SAY THE LEAST…
——————————-————————————————-
By age 33, I was completely burned out and decided there MUST be another way to live…
AND I WAS RIGHT!

—————————————————————-
I COULDN’T FIND THE ANSWERS FROM MAINSTREAM SOURCES SO I WAS FORCED TO FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF
I burned down my former mainstream career and spent 2017-2024 healing and learning everything I could about health, going to dozens of alternative specialists, trying tons of plant medicines in shaman-assisted ceremonies, learning as much as I could along the way, both from the plants and the shamans stewardship.
I became certified in both Integrative Health and Spiritual Psychology along with trainings in somatic healing and nervous system regulation.
More importantly than that, I began to LISTEN TO MY SOUL.
————————————————
MY SOUL AND MY BODY WERE SPEAKING IN SYMPTOMS TO “WAKE ME UP” AND I AM SO THANKFUL MY LIFE TOOK A VERY STRANGE TURN!
I was formerly diagnosed as “Autistic”, “OCD” and “ADHD” and while I respect these diagnoses and the mainstream medical model, considering the fact that I no longer present as Autistic/OCD/ADHD, I see these simplistic labels as a mind, body and soul crying out for balance - as opposed to being someone who is inherently broken like I was taught.
HEALING* DOES NOT HAVE TO FEEL SCARY or SERIOUS.
I now coach and consult those out there like me, especially those who are labeled Highly Sensitive, Neurodivergent, Obsessive Compulsive, Autistic and AuDHD (or allergic to society like I was) so we can feel our best and have the impact we came here to.
Let’s connect the dots and turn the lights on together.
