My story
For over two decades, I’ve been living what some might call a double life – but it’s less about intrigue and more about being a workaholic perfectionist. I’ve worn many hats in the software design world, from designer to recruiter, all while running my own thriving Pilates studio. My heart truly found its calling in understanding the human body, its movements, and helping others overcome pain.
On the surface, I was successful. But beneath it all, I was caught in an exhausting cycle of chasing perfection, recognition, and achievement. This relentless pursuit cost me dearly – two marriages, two burnouts, and left me battling constant anxiety, not to mention other unresolved traumas. The irony wasn’t lost on me; while my clients were healing, I was suffering from debilitating migraines and chronic insomnia.
Desperate for relief, I became a self-help junkie. Name any methodology for healing migraines, and I’ve probably tried it. Meditation, yoga, every medication under the sun, acupuncture, endless neurology appointments, courses, seminars, books, therapy – you name it, I did it!
Finally relief
Then, years into my journey, I stumbled upon a podcast about Neurosomatic Intelligence. It was a lightbulb moment. This approach taught me to align my mind and nervous system, essentially rewiring my brain. The results were nothing short of miraculous – my migraines disappeared within months, and I gained tools to manage any hint of recurrence.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still working on my perfectionism. But you know what? I’ve learned how to manage what affects my nervous system, keeping myself from getting overwhelmed. And the best part? This personal work has made me so much better at connecting with my clients.
Because I’ve walked this path myself, I can genuinely help others navigate their healing journey. Using trauma-informed practices, I show my clients how to use these powerful tools on their own. Together, we dig deep to uncover those hidden beliefs that might be holding them back, while we work on retraining their brain for positive change. It’s amazing to watch them discover their own path to healing.
Every client’s journey is unique, and I’m here to guide them with both expertise and real understanding. Because sometimes, the most powerful teaching comes from our own healing stories.
Today, I can genuinely say: “Hello Regulated Nervous System, it’s wonderful to finally meet you!”
