My Story
​
My favorite title is Mom, driven by my two daughters, who inspire me to be the best, most authentic version of myself, every day.
​
I had it all, a great career, family, marriage, home. Everything but the white picket fence. To those looking in, my life was perfect. But every time I looked in the mirror, I didn't recognize the person staring back at me. I felt lost, disconnected, overwhelmed, and burned out, feeling trapped in my own life.
To add to how I was feeling on the inside, I was experiencing physical burnout, battling high blood pressure, and recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. I woke up every morning feeling aches and pains and overall felt like my body was angry. I was suffering from chronic pain in the left side of my head and jaw that no doctor could diagnose. After every scan imaginable and a medicine cabinet full of prescriptions, I decided to take my health into my own hands.
​
I went back to school studying Metaphysics, built a daily meditation practice and my research for my thesis opened a whole new world for me. I came to understand that I am responsible for the life I am creating. Every choice I make, every thought I entertain, and every action I take shape my reality, right down to the words that come out of my mouth.
​
Fast forward a few years when I went on a surprise trip with my daughter, where I had a life-changing event with a horse, hearing a horse guide so clearly speak to me. Vividly telling me that horses heal humans. After I grappled with the idea that I had completely lost my mind, this experience, so real drove me on a transformative journey in the equine-facilitated wellness world. Studying with top coaches and personally experiencing the healing power of the horse-human connection, I've come to see horses as masterful teachers and healers.​​
A stallion, named Nitro, found me at the stables and I was fascinated by how spending more time with him was making me feel better. When I was with him, I would get answers to the questions I was seeking, I would feel emotions that now I realize he was pulling out. I owe so much to him as he was my most profound teacher. When he left his physical body, he left an imprint on my heart and soul that I vow to bring to others. Horses are powerful facilitators in healing the mind and body due to their intuitive and responsive nature.
​By chance, the barn owner asked if I would teach her how to meditate. We decided to bring in a horse and the experience was so magical that I quickly founded Authentically U and now run routine equine meditation circles.
​
I took a few years to focus my research for my Ph. D. in Metaphysical Psychology, emphasizing the mind-body connection, a relationship between our thoughts, emotions, and physical health. Understanding that our mental state can directly impact our physical well-being.
​
A dear friend introduced me to sound healing, and I quickly knew I was meant to learn this modality. I had no idea what I was doing investing thousands of dollars into an instrument collection to later find that I opened up my own private resonate sound wellness studio and today work 1-1 with clients. Albert Einstein said it best " future medicine will be the medicine of frequencies".
​My own healing journey and personal experiences have been transformative, equipping me with insights and empathy that formal credentials alone cannot provide. Through overcoming my own challenges, I have gained a deep understanding of the struggles and triumphs that come with the journey to self-alignment. This unique blend of personal growth and professional experience allows me to connect with and support my clients in a deeply meaningful way.
