I Didn't Find This Work. It Found Me.
“My body broke before I did. And in the breaking, I finally found my way home.”
My body broke down before I understood what it was trying to say.
I had spent years running. Four jobs. Constant overgiving. Abandoning myself so completely that I didn't even notice I was gone. The childhood sexual abuse I had never fully grieved, the trauma stuffed so deep it had no name — all of it finally came to collect what I owed. I was bedridden for months. I couldn't shower. I couldn't eat. I couldn't hold myself together.
And my teenage daughter Rose became one of my caregivers.
In the middle of that collapse — in the stillness I never would have chosen for myself — something arrived. The mothers came. Not in a way I can easily explain to anyone who hasn't felt it. But they came. In dreams. In the heaviness of the air around me. In the unmistakable knowing that something ancient was trying to reach me.
Where did you lose faith in your body's ability to heal itself? Trust it. It knows the way.
That was the beginning of everything.
My ancestors — my lineage — pointed me back to the altar. Back to plant medicine. Back to womb wisdom, to Reiki, to the sacred practices that had been living in my blood long before I was born. I didn't reclaim what was lost. I was reconnected with who I had always been underneath the conditioning, the burnout, the performance, the survival mode.
And then I looked at Rose. And I understood something I've never been able to shake:
The healing we do does not belong to us alone.
It moves backward — to every grandmother who carried what she couldn't put down. To every mother who passed down wounds without knowing what they were. To the medicine women whose wisdom was buried, suppressed, forgotten. And it moves forward — to the daughters watching us. To the women not yet born. To the whole line.
I am a womb keeper. A Reiki Master. A trauma-informed yoga instructor, doula, and circle holder. A woman with a PhD in Public Health Epidemiology who sat with the ancient mothers and let them teach her something no institution ever could.
The Lineage Liberation Method™ — Witnessing, Releasing, Remembering — was born from my own healing. It is not a theory. It is lived medicine, tested in my own body first.
This is why I am here. This is why the Soft Hearts Society™ exists. Because the mothers sent me — and now they're asking me to hold the door open for you.
“I didn’t become a healer. I remembered that I always was one.”

“Watching my mother heal taught me that the bravest thing a woman can do is stop pretending she is fine.”
My Journey
When I was four years old, I felt alone. My mother was a single mom working four and five jobs to keep us alive, and I spent most of my days with a babysitter who abused me. I didn't have words for it then. I just knew something was wrong, and I carried that knowing in my body for over twelve years before I ever let myself look at it.
I threw the trauma to the back of my mind the way we are taught to. Push through. Keep going. Don't make it a whole thing. I thought I was fine. My body knew otherwise — years of back pain I explained away, dismissed as normal, blamed on hormones. Until 2024, when I overstretched during a workout and heard a pop in my back. After that day, walking became a challenge. Pain became constant.
What followed was its own kind of erasure. Hospital visits, an MRI, X-rays, seven months of physical therapy, a diagnosis of Amplified Musculoskeletal Pain Syndrome — and still, no real answers. No one looking close enough. It wasn't until I went to a chiropractor and got a different X-ray that someone finally saw what had been there all along: mild scoliosis. Years of pain, explained at last. Bittersweet doesn't cover it.
Around the same time, I was reconnecting with my inner child — the four-year-old who felt forgotten, who needed someone to come back for her. When I finally stopped running and faced what she had been carrying, emotions came through me that I didn't know were possible to feel. It was hard. It was also the most honest thing I had ever done.
I watched my mother collapse. I watched her be rebuilt. And I healed alongside her.
That is what I bring into this work. Not a credential — a lived journey. I know what it feels like to be a daughter who needed a mother who was running on empty. I know what it feels like to be the caregiver when you are still a child yourself. And I know what it feels like to choose healing anyway — to sit in the grief, to reconnect with the little girl who needed you, and to decide that the cycles stop here.
I facilitate the teen track at our retreats. I hold the daughter's space in our Mother-Daughter Sittings. I co-lead our closing circles with my mother. This work is mine too — not because I was handed it, but because I walked through it myself.
I am so glad you are here. 💕
"Your healing journey doesn't have to be walked alone. Your rest doesn't have to be earned. And you were never too wounded to be chosen. The ancient mothers knew that. They chose you anyway — and so did we."
