How I found this path

Digging deep, identifying and sitting with inner wounds, finding closure and ultimately the inspiration to move forward. My life has been a series of these emotional initiations and helping others navigate their own.

Reclaiming myself through spirit-led inquiry has taken time, patience, and inner stillness. For many years I lived in the Bay Area working in various Marketing roles at ad agencies and financial technology companies. I wasn’t in a position to quit my job and travel the world to “find myself.” I was in a one-bedroom apartment, living a life that I had always envisioned would make me whole, yet in reality was soul-emptying.

I began sitting with myself with nowhere to go and nowhere to be on nights and weekends. This was the most beautiful, albeit painful gift I have ever given myself. I spent hours holed up in my apartment or in a park with my dog journaling. I used physical exercise as a way to get out of my head and into my body. I started slowly unpacking years of psychological neglect, nurturing my spirit from the inside out.

Looking back, this was my first “dark night of the soul.” A time that I decided to stop running from myself and get curious about who I really am, what I value, and how I want to measure my life.

When you turn down the volume on everything else in your life, a surprising thing happens: your inner voice emerges. First, I spent months processing my own lived experiences—painful things such as a history of familial substance abuse, a deep fear of rejection, and a dysfunctional relationship with money.

Once I was able to clear the debris in my system, I started to hear my own inner wisdom for the first time. I started listening to what my soul wanted. It was during this period of humble reflection that I found Human Design. A system that beautifully articulated my lived experience—my gifts, blocks, and boundaries, and how I’m energetically designed to work.

It also revealed the truth that I had spent a lifetime evading: I am here to help people find healing and move forward and I’ve been on a journey stepping into that truth ever since.

Today, I lead transformational work through individual, couples, and group therapy. I also teach and share Human Design through my business, Moonrise. I also host a podcast unpacking the changing energetic currents of our collective consciousness called, “The Current.”
