I was 16 years old when I moved into my own apartment.
17 years old when I became a mother for the first time.
19 when I began working in domestic violence shelters.
33 when I became a grandmother.
I am now 41, with a wealth of experiences.
Experiences that only a fast paced life could bring.
I had a lot if firsts fairly early in life.
I knew this was so I could lead others through their challenging times and life's transitions.
I was the pioneer, of sorts.
I was the first to usher my friends into parenthood, since by my 20s, I felt like I had some good wisdom under my belt to share.
I was the first to buy a house in my circle and experience what home ownership was all about by 24 years old.
The first to become a parent of a teenager.
The first to become a grandparent.
With each new stage, there is a new level of self discovery.
My life has been full of these such sacred initiations and with them all there was a new depth I uncovered to myself.
Every single thing brought me to a new version of myself waiting to emerge.
I knew very young that I was here to help people. Due to experiencing abuse as a child, this was something that called me...loudly. I knew I was here to help people.
Moreso, Women specifically.
I was one of the youngest social workers in the field, working as a domestic violence worker. I had worked front line or child youth in all 3 shelters by the age of 26.
I also burnt myself out at 26.
I decided then and there I was done with working in crisis intervention and I desired to work with women in a deeper way.
Before the rock bottom.
A few years later I dove into energy healing and other modalities and have never looked back.
Not only now do I have the freedom to speak to a woman about anything that comes through in session, (in social work I had to conform...so not me lol)
But, the woman I work with have the freedom to be completely open, honest and raw with me in a way that you may not get in traditional therapy.
I still do love traditional counselling, therapy, etc - but with my own energetic twist!
As it was meant to be.
My own way. 🔥🔥🔥
