Embrace Your Journey

For as long as I can remember, creativity has been a source of joy.

As a child, nothing made me happier than dressing-up, writing songs, acting, choreographing dance, painting, drawing, sculpting…the list is endless. You may read this and think ‘as with every child’, or you may even see this limitless creativity in your own children. This is a natural state that most of us unconsciously shut down, or restrict, as we grow up; but no matter the age, I have always found a way to prioritize creativity, listen to my intuition and follow what brings me joy. 

At school, this manifested in a myriad of ways- but ended in the study and pursuit of acting. I have always been able to “feel” other peoples emotions. Though I didn’t know it at the time, this gift- being an ‘empath’, my clair-sentience, and natural channeling ability is what made me fall in love with the art. However after years trying to make money from my art, in a society that equates commercial success with artistic success, I began grappling with my very identity as an artist.

I realized that healthy coping mechanisms were vital to my mental wellbeing, and sought comfort in yoga and meditation. Slowly, I began to believe that the universe was conspiring with me; that we were co-collaborating, and that things were happening for me and not to me.

I set off on a path of self-work, seeking different methods of healing from a wide range of practitioners, studying spiritual texts, and learning from spiritual teachers.

As my breadth of knowledge expanded, I trained in Reiki energy healing, I began studying an acting technique I had previously trained in called Lucid Body, as well as discovering The Artist’s Way. This transformation brought about the realization that I’ve been using my “gifts” when I had no idea what they even were. That every part of my life is both a creative and spiritual practice, where one compliments the other and fills me with joy and purpose. 

Acting is energy work, and the energy of creativity is entirely spiritual. As I reached the understanding that this spirituality and creativity are naturally within us all, I realized that I could help others tap into their own energy. And that is when I decided to take it to the next level and get my spiritual coaching certification. I began leading groups and providing one one-on-one energy healing and coaching sessions.

And then I had my first baby. As can happen with change, I was triggered. I was trying to live in a way that was no longer an energy match. I was out of alignment and it manifested in a massive auto-immune flare where I couldn’t even hold my baby. I realized I had spent years working on my body and my spirit, but there were pressures of my mind that had existed since childhood that I’d yet to address. Enter human design and hypnotherapy. And this is where my life REALLY changed for the better. I was no longer in active disease- through the help of this work and I knew I wanted to be able to give this gift to others. So it was time to add those certifications to the list (among NLP and others).

I strongly believe we are meant to be doing this ‘work’ - a word I hesitate to use, as it can (and should) feel like play at times - throughout our entire lives. We are always healing; whether we are healing old or new wounds. Our energy body is constantly shifting, and every one of us is trying to shed what no longer serves us, so we can step into the most powerful, joyful, highest version of ourselves. 

Every single day, I feel like a different person. If I look at myself two years ago, I can’t even compare that person to who I am today; though, in reality, I am simply becoming more of who I truly am. As I shed the shell and step into my own power, I am loving the life I choose to live even more - and I love to help others do the same.

I believe my purpose is to help others live a joy-filled, creative life, to truly be themselves and to feel magical, powerful and at their very best.
