MY JOURNEY

On my 27th birthday, I discovered that I was a survivor of child sexual abuse and living with complex PTSD.

Even though I had spent years engaged in somatic work, healing practices, and personal transformation, this revelation shook me to my core. Everything I thought I knew about myself and the world was upended; nothing felt certain anymore.

The following years were spent facing the unimaginable - through therapy, intensive men’s work, and grief work. I rebuilt a relationship with my body with Alexander Technique and the Feldenkrais Method. Over time, I reconnected with joy in my artistic practices: partner dancing, parkour, and piano.

But the most transformative part of my journey became building a relationship with the Divine. How could I trust myself, other people, or the universe after what I had experienced? How could life feel whole when I had seen such violence up close? For a long time, I carried deep bitterness and resentment.

I had no models for this. I grew up in a secular family; in a secular country. I would have called myself an atheist until college, where I began identifying as agnostic - mostly to navigate social life more easily.

Fortunately, the Divine has a way of meeting us where we are. For me, that came through VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing*, which I had begun just before my repressed trauma surfaced. Through Vortexhealing®, I met an avatar named Merlin, who became my spiritual guide and bridge to the Divine.

Vortexhealing® not only set me on a spiritual path; but also gave me access to my most powerful tools for self-healing. The transmissions I received in classes allowed me to work directly on my trauma - and nothing I had learned in nearly a decade of personal growth compared. It was the most empowered I had ever felt.

While I remain deeply committed to my own healing, I now know it is possible to live a peaceful, fulfilling, and beautiful life - not in spite of trauma, not because of it, but alongside it.

In sessions, I primarily work with VortexHealing®, informed by my years in somatic and movement education, relational skills I’ve developed over the years, and my experiences as a teacher and coach. I am particularly fascinated by relational and power dynamics, and I constantly seek to expand my understanding of human behavior and the world around me.

I hope that my work can help you discover more agency, empowerment, and independence; bring new understandings to your emotional landscape; find a deeper center; and bring some levity and lightness into the dark.

About Vortexhealing

  • The philosophy of VortexHealing®* is that all of life is one. However, because we have lost awareness of that, our experience of life is one of separation.

    This experience of separation, over time (and lives) imprints our consciousness and energy systems, creating ‘conditioning’. This can manifest as identities that we believe ourselves to be, chronic emotional positions that we experience the world through, and can even create blockages in our energy systems that lead to weakness or physical issues.

    VortexHealing® is a comprehensive system designed to clear this conditioning on every level it can be found in our energy systems.

    As we clear this conditioning, not only do we experience more emotional clarity, resilience, and physical wellness, but we also begin to awaken to the true nature of who we are.

  • VortexHealing® is a healing art that works with both Divine energies and Divine consciousness to release conditioning.

    The source of this is not the practitioner themselves - they are simply a channel for this work to come through.

  • The VortexHealing® tools can be applied to a wide range of life’s challenges. Much of what we experience is shaped by - and sometimes entirely created from - our conditioning: patterns that influence our behavior, amplify our reactions, and shape the lens through which we see the world. As this conditioning is cleared, we often discover greater inner freedom, allowing us to meet ourselves and the world with more heart, clarity, and presence.

    Conditioning can also contribute to physical imbalance. Working at an energetic level may support the healing of physical injuries or chronic pain by addressing underlying patterns that affect the body.

    That said, VortexHealing® is not the only tool for healing, nor is it a replacement for medical or mental health care. It works best as part of an integrated approach.

    In my experience, it is often remarkably effective when used alongside other modalities and thoughtful self-inquiry - which is why my work is informed by somatic methodologies and relational practices as well. VortexHealing® is a living, evolving lineage that continues to learn from and be inspired by many healing traditions.
