My Story

 

How it Began and Where it's Headed.

 

The journey within my own heart and soul is no where near finished. I truly believe that growth in understanding yourself and this world is a never ending process. Let me share with you how mine started...

 

Ever since I was a little girl, I was naturally gifted with seeing the best in others. One would say, it's a blessing and a curse. My pure and fragile heart always felt so deeply for others and when they couldn't see the best in themselves, my glass- half -full type of attitude gave them a reason to keep me around. Somewhere along the way, I learned to put my feelings and desires aside just to make sure they felt important and knew their greatness. I found myself doing this in friendships, my relationship to my parents and other family members and eventually, even with my romantic partners.

 

I thought that by catering so much to others needs and feelings, I would receive this treatment in return. To be seen or heard, feel important, enough and loved. I even went as far as shifting my own values just to feel important in someone else's idea of a happy life. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was using my natural gift to subconsciously manipulate others to give me what I so desperately wanted....everything I was giving them.

 

By doing this, I learned to give my heart away so easily that I forgot to see the best in myself. I forgot that my greatness was enough, important and worthy. As much as I loved seeing others succeed by helping them reach their potential, the weight of it all became unbearable and I knew that this version of finding my worth wasn't going to last. I came to understand that this in fact was NOT an option in finding my worth.

 

Eventually, I grew to realize that being there for others didn't mean I had to put myself to the side. I could still expose the greatness in those needing help with seeing it for themselves, but I understood that knowing my worth and greatness had to come first in order to do so.

What I've learned thus far is that all of my greatness as well as others greatness, already lives within us. To truly understand, remember and believe in this inner greatness, I was governed by 3 things:

 

1) Seeking out and receiving help from others that supported my emotional, spiritual, mental growth and well being

 

2) The teachings and practice of Yoga

 

3) Letting go of the things that weren't willing to grow with me

 

It was by these things that ultimately unveiled my destiny to use my natural gift of helping others see the best in themselves for good. In living these things for myself, THIS is what formed The Journey Within...

 

The essence of my work is to mindfully facilitate self-growth by helping you identify your core mind, body and spirit greatness. In doing so with an motivational & mindfulness approach to my coaching style, you will understand yourself and your worth in this life. With the gift of my inner wisdom to nurture people, my 10+ years of movement training and the desire to share the tools that have changed my life for the better, you will grow to discover and embrace your inner greatness now and for your days to come.

 

If my story resinates with you at all and you're feeling called to work with me in discovering your greatness, don't hesitate to reach out and learn how I can be an investment and facilitator for your well being. 

 

Love & Light Always,
