Survival → Wholeness

Fifteen years ago, I looked like I had it all—
but I was disappearing behind high-functioning performance and the quiet exhaustion of holding it all together.

Like many shaped by lifelong trauma, I adapted so well I forgot what I was carrying.

Then came the weekend that almost ended everything—
and the kind of promise you don’t break:

If I live, I help.

I became the guide I once needed.
And I devoted my life to understanding what actually heals.

If you’re here, maybe part of you is still holding it all together, too.
But that’s not the end of the story.

Wholeness is possible.
And it’s not too late to claim the life that was always meant for you.

Before the Method

I gave my first spiritual talk at six—offering hope long before I had language for my own pain.
Like many survivors, I lived the paradox of being visible but never truly seen.

The success no one questioned.
The shutdown no one noticed.
The smile that kept it all intact.

I turned what silenced me into what sets me apart.
That voice now guides others home to their own..

Why I Built This Work

There’s no diagnosis for complex trauma that tells the whole story.
What I got was a label—not a map.

The patterns weren’t just mental.
They lived across every layer of me—far beyond thought.

Healing meant retuning my entire system—
not just what I could remember, but what I was wired to expect.

I didn’t take the clinical route.
I went searching for what actually works—what reaches the parts that stories can’t.

That search became a method.
Now it’s the path I guide others through.
It’s called HEAL WAVE™.

The Work I Was Meant to Share

HEAL WAVE™ is a digital studio and trauma-specific method
for those who kept functioning—
even when it cost them their body, their joy, or their sense of self.

This isn’t talk therapy.
It’s body-first, pattern-deep, and rooted in safety.

We meet you where survival lives—
and begin to gently unwind what shaped you,
without rushing who you’ve had to be.

The method moves through eight foundational layers—held in the body, the mind, your relationships, and your sense of self.
Each one shaped by protection. Each one ready for change.

And beneath every layer is the ninth—
a wave of integration that moves them all.

Rooted in trauma science, somatic healing, and integrative holistic wellness, the process blends science-backed mind-body practices with timeless healing traditions.

As your system settles, life starts to reflect it.
We call this wholeness in action—how healing reshapes work, money, time, and space.

This isn’t just about what happened.
It’s about how you live now.

Training & Credentials

My background blends lived experience with deep, multidisciplinary training.

I hold diplomas in Art History and Mental Health Coaching, with certifications in:

  • Traumatic Stress Studies

  • Somatic Psychology

  • Integrative Medicine & Nutrition for PTSD and Complex Trauma

  • Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training

  • Breathwork & Sound Healing

  • Applied Kinesiology

  • Reflexology (Five Element System – TCM)

This isn’t a résumé—it’s a lifelong conversation.
Drawn from well-established modalities, emerging science, and the part of me that never stopped asking:
What actually helps people come back to themselves?

My training has been shaped by leaders in trauma and integrative wellness—
Bessel van der Kolk, Stephen Porges, Jana Pressley, Richard Schwartz, Frank Anderson, Peter Levine, Leslie Korn, Martin Seligman, John Beaulieu, Jack Kornfield, and Tara Brach—
among many others whose insights help us meet trauma with both precision and compassion.

Much of what neuroscience is only beginning to map, ancestral traditions have practiced for centuries—through rhythm, ritual, relationship, and the body itself.

This Is Not a Course.

It’s 1:1.
It’s Personal.
It Runs Deep.

The HEAL WAVE™ 1:1 program opens just three times a year—winter, spring, and fall.
Each 16-week journey is immersive and personalized, with space intentionally limited.

The next round begins soon.
