My spiritual journey began when I was very young. I remember feeling a deep connection to something larger than myself as early as three years old. Even then, I sensed that life held layers of meaning and energy that most people didn’t seem to talk about.
By the time I was eight, that sensitivity had grown stronger. I began noticing and feeling other people’s emotions in my own body. I sensed energy in ways that felt confusing and overwhelming, and at times I dreamt about events before they occurred. Feeling others’ pain so deeply eventually became too much for my young system, and without realizing it, I learned to shut down my emotions in order to cope.
Years later, in my late twenties, I became seriously ill with Lyme Disease. During that difficult period, many of the sensitivities I had suppressed began to return. The illness forced me to slow down and listen more closely to my body, my intuition, and the deeper currents shaping my life. What once felt like something I needed to hide gradually began to reveal itself as a gift.
Looking back, I can see how my desire to understand healing was already guiding my life. My early career led me into fields like sports psychology, outdoor education, recreation, and massage therapy. I worked with individuals and groups in wilderness settings, helping people face challenges, build resilience, and discover their inner strength.
In the mid-1990s, my own healing journey deepened when Lyme Disease left me unable to continue working for several years. During that time I explored many healing modalities — both conventional and alternative — in search of recovery. Toward the end of that journey, I received a full scholarship to study massage therapy at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, where I trained as a Kripalu Bodyworker. That experience became a turning point in my life, marking the beginning of my path as a healer.
In 2002, I followed another calling and moved west to the Tetons. I married, became a mother, and began building a life and practice in the mountains. Like many relationships, my marriage brought both love and challenge. Over time, financial stress, life transitions, and emotional patterns created strain, and in 2012 my husband and I divorced when our son was five years old.
That chapter of my life became one of my greatest teachers.
As a single parent, I learned resilience, independence, and the deep responsibility of caring for another life. I also began to see more clearly how the patterns we carry — often unconsciously — shape our relationships.
In 2018, another turning point arrived. After years of searching and praying for guidance in developing my intuitive abilities, I unexpectedly moved next door to a healer named Nicole Stewart. Nicole had studied extensively with Vibrational Healing teacher Barry Tydings.
Under their mentorship, I began an intensive study of Vibrational Healing. The work opened a completely new lens for understanding myself, relationships, and the patterns that quietly shape our lives. I was able to complete Barry’s intensive training before he passed and continued studying with Nicole for several years afterward.
Vibrational Healing helped me recognize patterns I had carried for much of my life — including my tendency to shut down emotionally or move into control in order to feel safe. Through this work, I began learning how to remain grounded in my intuitive feminine presence while still accessing the strength and structure of my masculine energy when needed.
Most importantly, I learned something that now sits at the heart of my work:
We repeat the same patterns in our relationships until we bring those patterns into awareness.
When we begin to see them clearly — with curiosity rather than judgment — we gain the ability to shift them. As our perspective changes, our relationships can change as well.
Today, through LuvTheOne, I guide couples through the same process of awareness and transformation that reshaped my own life. By helping partners notice the deeper patterns influencing their relationship, couples can begin to soften old reactions, develop greater compassion for one another, and create a more conscious and connected partnership.
