More About Me...

I know what it's like to feel like a stranger to yourself.

From my early teens, I was fascinated by emotions. Why do we have them? What are they for? And why did I seem to feel so much of what was happening around me?

As a young adult, I was everything an empath was supposed to be — sensitive, compassionate, a great listener, able to meet people where they were and anticipate their needs before they could name them themselves.

People would say things to me like:

“How could I live without you?”

“I can't believe I'm telling you this.”

“I feel so much better after spending time with you.”

Perhaps you've heard those words too.

I loved being someone others could turn to. I loved the connection, the trust and the opportunity to offer loving kindness and compassion.

But along the way, being needed by others had become how I knew I mattered. I hadn't yet discovered my own worth, so I kept giving more of myself to others, looking outside myself for something I hadn't yet found within.

The more I gave, the more needed I felt. Yet beneath it all, I was losing touch with myself.

When I was teaching, I gave my heart and soul to my students. I'd come home feeling like a wrung-out sponge, recharge as best I could overnight, and do it all again the next day.

Yet something within me knew there was another way to live.

I yearned to feel at home in myself. To understand everything I sensed and felt. To experience the same loving kindness and compassion I so naturally offered others. And to have the energy and freedom to create a life I loved.

I didn't want to become less empathic. I wanted to understand how my empathy could help me.

So I kept searching.

I read everything I could. I explored different approaches. I even began a PhD to understand why we have emotions and what they're for.

My search eventually took me beyond academia and into a deeper understanding of the heart, our true nature and our connection with Source.

And then, everything began to change.

I discovered that my empathy wasn't something I needed to contain, protect myself from or manage. It was a gift I had yet to fully understand.

I had to let go of everything I'd been taught about containing, protecting and managing my empathy. But that alone wasn't enough. I needed to discover and integrate my true Self — and from there, understand my empathy in a whole new way.

Grounded in my own energy and secure in the love and support of Source, I began to understand what I was sensing and feeling, what was mine and what wasn't, and how my natural empathic abilities could guide and serve me.

I learned to embrace and activate those abilities rather than contain them, to receive the love and support that had always been available to me, and to trust the intuitive guidance flowing through me.

The more I understood, the more I felt like myself again.

The exhaustion gave way to renewed energy. Self-doubt gave way to trust. I felt grounded, whole, guided and free.

My empathy hadn't changed. My understanding of it had.

And that changed everything.

Today, I bring more than two decades of study, personal experience and spiritual practice to my work with empaths.

I'm a HeartMath Coach, a Course of Love facilitator, a Certified Magnetic Mind Coach, a Heart Resonance Practitioner, and a graduate of Awakening the Illuminated Heart from Drunvalo Melchizedek's School of Remembering.

I'm also the creator and host of the More Love Podcast, co-host of the It's OK to Be Spiritual Podcast, and creator of the forthcoming Receiving More Love Podcast.

My work is grounded, practical spiritual facilitation, bringing together the science of the heart, our true identity and the experience of living in the flow of Life itself.

Now, I help other empaths discover and integrate their true Self, so they can understand, embrace and activate the natural empathic ability they already possess — and allow their empathy to finally serve them first.

You don't need to become less empathic. You don't need to stop sensing and feeling.

You deserve to feel at home in yourself, to receive the love and support available to you, and to trust your natural empathic ability as you create a life you love.

I'm here to help you experience a whole new way of being empathic.

Your Empathy. Your Superpower. Your Turn.
