I was born and raised (mostly) in Utah. My mother and father divorced when I was 4 years old. My mom has moved us (my older & younger brother, & I) to Arizona, Ohio, Arizona again, Wyoming, back to Utah, back to Arizona, and then finally back to Utah. To say I have moved around a lot is an understatement. It was not until my high school years that I was finally at a school two consecutive years in a row. I experienced my fair share of trauma, wounding and darkness.
In high school I moved out of my mom's house and finally found some stability that I had been searching for my whole life. That is when I started dating my now husband and met some very important people in my life. In high school I always knew my calling was to help others. I was wanting to be a school counselor. I went to college right after graduating and that was where I stumbled upon Social Work. I then was in the process of getting my bachelor's in social work. After that I then went on to get my master's in social work and wanting to work as a therapist.
This whole time I was working on what I knew I wanted to do, help people. The same week I graduate with my master's I also married my high school sweetheart Andrew. I soon started my first full time job and started thinking of what career I wanted. Andrew and I also started discussing having children. About 6 months after my new job and being married we decided to get pregnant.
This was really when I feel like I began awakening to more of the world around me. I had started learning about holistic health and how there was so much in the world, food, and environment around me that they never teach you about. This is also a time when I started briefly exploring spirituality and my own beliefs about God and the world (I have never been religious). I had my first son, and everything seemed great with the world. My husband and I had decided that I would work full time, and he would be a stay-at-home dad. When then shortly after bought our first home and moved out of his parents' house, we were also pregnant with our 2nd baby 9 months after our first. I had a great job doing crisis work from home with telehealth. This was also the time during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I had my 2nd son May 2021.
This was one of the darkness nights of my soul. I probably had some postpartum depression, as well as childhood trauma resurfacing, as well as a deep loneliness. I was also still doing crisis work working with difficult populations of suicidal people. It felt like my entire life was covered in darkness. My husband and I were constantly at odds, my 2nd baby was colicky and rarely slept and we were just surviving the hours and days. I had decided to leave my crisis work job and get into outpatient therapy again. I then attended a mental health conference May 2022 and it felt like a Light had been turned back on inside me. This conference was about alternative treatments like psychedelics, and energy work to help others heal.
I met a Reiki Master and decided I was going to take her Reiki classes and learn energy healing. During this Reiki class she mentioned another practitioner that does Life Activations that were supposed to help connect you to your purpose. I was like SIGN ME UP! I was feeling so lost and helpless and not sure what to do with my marriage or career that I was looking for some guidance. July 2022 I received my Life Activation. It was actually from another mental health therapist, and I was feeling like all this was crazy, but willing to try anything at this point to help me find what I was looking for. I remember leaving my Life Activation session thinking to myself "that was cool/weird, I bet I could learn how to do that!
I started googling and looking up how to become a Life Activation practitioner (as surely it had to be similar to becoming a Reiki Practitioner). It was not actually. I began the path of learning how to do this modality and also got accepted to learn a European Somatic Therapy training as well.
The next 6 months my life change rapidly in the best of ways. I was able to get clear on what I wanted in life and how I wanted to show up for myself and others. I was able to work through some issues in my marriage and my husband and I decided to work together to build a stronger marriage and love for one another. I was able to show up fully as a mother and be present with my children. I was then able to attend Empower Thy Self workshop in Dec 2022 where I received initiation into the Modern Mystery School and Lineage of King Soloman.
This is where my life really began to change. My husband went back to work, and I decided to stay home and be a stay-at-home mom. I was also really angry and pissed off at the Mental Health community as I was finding that they don't teach about the things that truly heal and help people. I had decided at this point that I did not want to be a therapist any longer, I was going to do a side business of energy healing. This was a very special and important time in my healing. I had to have some realizations and acceptance of trauma and wounding that I had suppressed for so long I did not even know how to deal with it. I started my own therapy and began to heal and let go of things that had been holding me back. I decided that I did want to be a therapist and share this new healing and Light that I had found with others. I now knew how to heal some of the darkest parts of myself and I could help others from my own lived experienced. I began working part time doing outpatient therapy on the days my husband was home. I still was healing and learning things.
I was also planning on going to Healers Academy in Toronto, Canada November 2023 to finally learn how to become a Life Activation Practitioner. This path of Knowing myself has been something I have been searching for my entire life. It is a part of my Life Mission and now my goal is to continue to heal myself and help others along the way. I am now, in Sept of 2024 a; Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Life Activation Practitioner, 1st step Ritual Master in Lineage of King Soloman, and planning on going to Healers Academy 2 and Ritual Master 2 training November 2024. I now own my own successful private therapy and energy healing practice, and I am fully stepping into my light and sharing my knowledge and Light with others. Who I am is a Goddess that create my own kingdom. I am here to show others they can do the same. Are you ready to take the first step? Reach out to me and I can show you the way that has worked for me!
