the growth journey

How I un-stuck myself

Becoming an Anxiety Coach wasn’t originally my goal; it was a divine byproduct of my own healing and a fervent desire to feel better. Early on in my growth journey, I realized I was looking for an approach that worked with the anxious mind, and taught me how to integrate “the work”. I wanted something that was scientific, spiritual, and most of all, actionable. When I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for…I created it.

the journey

Story behind the woman

I struggled with crippling anxiety and a deep sense of misalignment for years…though you’d never be able to tell. I was an expert-level masker.

On the outside I seemed happy, and my anxiety was able to seek refuge behind the Confident, Independent Woman Identity: I was driven, I had a fast-paced career in tech, I was well-traveled and always had something fun on my social calendar. On the inside, I was struggling. My confidence was about as sturdy as a house made from popsicle sticks, and what other people saw as “drive” was actually my own attempt to stay busy and continue running from my emotions. The truth was, I was completely unhappy with the career I excelled at, I was in a constant and incredibly toxic battle with my body, and felt wildly lost in most of my relationships. I certainly didn’t trust myself…and I was starting to wonder if I even liked myself.

I tried a lot of things on my own healing journey, from the super-tactical (accountability, goal-setting, and action plans) to the super-esoteric (we’re talking vows of silence, energy work, and past-life regressions). It felt like I was piecing together a puzzle without a picture to follow, and that initial sense of confusion is what inspired me to create my own approach to coaching -scientific, spiritual, and tactical- in early 2018.

Since then, my mission has been to offer objective and compassionate support to as many individuals as possible. The intention to show people how to work through their stuff and live from their soul began with individual clients, but has since expanded to include partnerships with category-leading brands, podcasts, retreats, writing projects, and more. I’ve worked with hundreds of truly incredible souls over the past few years, and am immeasurably honored to be a support system on the often-tumultuous road of anxiety, healing, and growth.
