How do I understand the unique challenges of raising this next generation of brilliant and extraordinary Souls?

Because I went through MANY childhood experiences that left me feeling disconnected, confused, overwhelmed and even unsafe being in a body. 

I guess you could say it’s one of the reasons my Soul came here – to have a body with a palpable beating heart that knows the power of true Love!

Like many children, I grew up highly sensitive.  I felt uncomfortable in my own skin.  And struggled to feel at home in a body.

I felt everything deeply, yet had no idea what to do with all of that energy and swirling emotion – and neither did the people around me.

I just wanted to fit in.  And I was confused about who I really was, that I took on other people’s opinions of who they said I should be.

That’s when I lost myself and became extremely ill in my late teens.  I had hip pain, vertigo and food allergies, it felt like my body was giving up on me.

I was disconnected.  Disheartened.  And scared.

But it hadn’t always been that way.

As a young child I was full of light and curiosity, because I was surrounded by the laughter and warmth of my “invisible” friends and Angels.

The loving woman I saw so clearly and played with every day was Mother Mary.  And despite not growing up in any religion/church or being exposed to any spiritual practices or beliefs, I knew who she was in my heart.

She showed me that I was never alone.  And she taught me things I wouldn’t fully understand until decades later.

But all that love, comfort and security vanished as I went through my adolescent and teenage years.  I wasn’t sure how to express my gifts or feel confident to share them with others.

And I wasn’t the only one struggling.  I found out years later that my Mom had been suffering right along with me.  Sensing I was “different,” she felt helpless to guide me and nurture my gifts.

Even though she didn’t tell me that then, I intuitively picked up on her emotional discomfort.  And I started to feel ashamed for being a bright, beautiful and shining Feminine Spirit.

So I hid that part of true essence and my gifts from the world.   And every area of my life was affected by that powerful decision.

Relationships were especially hard.  I didn’t understand how to create healthy energy boundaries.  And I ended up absorbing everyone’s emotions and feelings, not realizing what was happening or why I was feeling so drained.

Until finally, I made a life-changing decision in my 20’s …

To let go of my fear and the need to hide.

To let go of my shame and stop apologizing for my existence.

To let go of the belief that it wasn’t safe for me to share my gifts.

And to always speak my truth.

The moment I made that decision, I decided to really LIVE.

That meant being here fully in my body and living as my highest expression of Love.  It meant using my gifts to thrive.  Living my heart’s deepest desires.  And expressing the real me.

Once I decided to make myself a priority — and to love myself — everything shifted.

I became a pediatric occupational therapist because I was so passionate about helping children understand their body and feel healthy and empowered in it.  And I began offering gentle, alternative methods of healing with the Mothers, babies and children in my practice.

I learned how to embrace my gifts and work with them.  Instead of trying to ignore them, hide them or deny them all together.

I learned about relationship dynamics and how a Mother’s presence affects her children.

I learned how to set healthy boundaries and take care of my energy so I could stay grounded and present, even in the middle of chaos.

I learned how to use my voice and express the real me.

I surrounded myself in nature, engaged my senses and nurtured my body.  I began exploring who I really was.  And who I was born to be.  I came home to myself and took a stand for what mattered most in my life.

I also began cultivating a deeper relationship with Mother Mary, whom I now lovingly co-create my offerings with.  And I aligned with my true calling – to help children embody and express their Soul’s essence.

Over the last 10 years, this decision led me into teaching online so I could share my gifts with more children and their families.  

I’m grateful that I’ve created a safe place to open my heart and remember my resting place within so I can enjoy living inside my skin.

And I’m passionate about supporting children to shine bright simply by being true to who they are.
