I never really fit in places
but I never was meant too
​
I grew up on Long Island, New York. I was emotional, interested in all things feelings, but came from a high performing, very successful family.
Doctors, physicians. It looked great, but for me as a kid, high performance meant absence. I thoroughly tried to pursue my heart. Volunteering, trying to help when I can in places. I found great love in my grandparents and really tried to find the joy in all things.
But time and time again my tries towards education, to being the doctor's child. It wasn’t “working.”

My Story
Section Subtitle
I was told I had dyslexia, and throughout my schooling, I had an IEP, a teacher's aid, and I created this deep belief of feeling dumb. My life was continuously being shaped by feeling like I didn’t have what it took to fit in anywhere. Which created this feeling this deep sense of being alone. Needing extra help continued to fuel the belief of being stupid.
I knew this experience was hard, but I never understood how much it shaped the belief in myself, and going into college, it was my first initiation of realizing how trauma stays with you. I was coming from a high school graduating class of 130 students to then West Virginia University where there 300 people in my class.
Long story short, I transferred to John Johns University where I found my people. I started to explore more layers of myself and was completely set up to graduate and become a Speech Pathologist.
Except sometimes the best paths will reveal themselves when you least expect.
A professor introduced me to a personal development group called Synergy. With lots of personal development work, volunteering, and a deep sense of community. I fell in love.
I did every single program they offered, I volunteered at their events, I really was interested in this personal development world where people talked about feelings and emotions, where I was fully accepted as myself, and I was able to connect deeper to who I actually was. Soon enough, they took notice of the work I put into supporting the community and relationships, and they made me a position in their company. That's what started my new journey.
I continued to do my own inner work and then lead thousands of people through personal leadership programs, teachings, and education. Helping people bring a deep awareness to their lives. I truly loved so much of it. I got to be me, and I got to support other people being more themselves.
10 years at Synergy, a new door opened. Although I was doing inner work for years, I felt the call to explore other healing modalities where I was able to explore deeper patterns, conditioning, and deep core wounds that I never felt safe enough to look at.
And taking a leap of faith to let myself go there, I found treasure in pain.
The pain was coming to the realization that feeling alone and stupid were deep beliefs that controlled my life. My body held onto so many memories. But the treasure was that I decided to choose myself. After all the years of helping other people's dreams rise, it was then my turn to believe in me. And really rediscover how powerful my heart was.
And here, my own coaching business I have always dreamed of, was born. Choosing ourselves sounds easy, but it is a journey I would like to inspire you to do. I want you to find your truth in every place of life. And really my mission is to bring to this world one of the simplest things, humanity.
