✨ A Healing Journey Rooted in Spirit, Nature, and Deep Listening

My path to freedom—from trauma, anger, anxiety, and depression—has been a sacred unfolding. I’ve spent years seeking healing not just for myself, but so I could help others find the same clarity, peace, and wholeness.

Through this journey, I’ve come to embrace a variety of spiritual therapeutic practices, including:

  • Faith in God

  • Spiritual direction

  • Contemplative prayer

  • Forest bathing and time in nature

  • Meditation and silence

  • Energy healing and somatic awareness

These practices have helped me navigate life with greater balance, allowing me to manage anxiety and depression without reliance on modern medications. They’ve become part of a rhythm of life—one grounded in grace, clarity, and connection to something greater.

A Space Where You Can Truly Be Seen

My faith—both in God and in the universal energy that flows through all living things—has only deepened with time. But what matters most to me is creating a space where you feel seen, safe, and gently supported.

In my work, there is:

  • No pressure

  • No religious agenda

  • No judgment or unsolicited advice

Instead, there is space to explore your healing, your faith (or lack of it), your grief, your questions, your transformation.

I’m here to walk with you as you move beyond the barriers that hold you back—into your deepest potential, your true identity, and your own version of spiritual freedom.

All Are Welcome

No matter your background, beliefs, or identity—you are welcome here.
Come as you are. There is a place for you at this table.

Rooted in Nature. Called to Healing.

I was raised in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee, where my parents were wildcrafters—gatherers of medicinal herbs and remedies from the forest. That upbringing grounded me in a deep relationship with the land, with Spirit, and with the quiet wisdom of nature. It was in those sacred woods that I first learned to listen—to God, to the earth, and to the deeper stirrings of my own soul.

I grew up immersed in both the beauty of creation and the complexities of church life. The local faith community was a place where I first felt a sense of calling—drawn to Jesus’ example of compassion and care for the hurting. But that same community would also become a source of deep pain. Alongside an abusive family dynamic, I experienced spiritual and emotional wounding that left scars I would carry for many years.

The healing journey hasn’t been linear. It’s been layered, tender, and holy. Becoming a wife to a minister, raising three children, and earning a degree in social work all became part of my unfolding path. Each step—through love, hardship, motherhood, and education—refined my purpose.

Today, I offer others what I needed most on my own journey: a safe, sacred space to heal, to reconnect with their true self, and to rediscover the Divine beyond the trauma.

Through retreats, one-on-one guidance, and embodied spiritual practices, I walk alongside those navigating:

  • Childhood or religious trauma

  • Life transitions and grief

  • Faith deconstruction and rebuilding

  • A longing for spiritual depth and wholeness

This work is more than a profession. It’s a calling. And it’s an honor to companion others as they find their way back to themselves—and to a spirituality that brings peace, freedom, and restoration.

When seeking a spiritual guide for healing and holistic health, it’s crucial to find a practitioner who genuinely aligns with your beliefs and values. Look for an individual who is both trained and experienced in traditional therapeutic techniques as well as spiritual practices that resonate with you.

 

In your sessions, you will confidently explore and release negative emotions, fears, and past traumas that impact your well-being. Expect to engage in powerful techniques such as energy healing, meditation, prayer, visualization, and other tailored spiritual practices that meet your needs.

 

Approaching this healing work with an open mind and a willingness to explore your inner world is vital. Remember, healing is a transformative journey, and with commitment, you will effectively process and release deeply rooted emotions and patterns.

 

 

If you decide to embark on this transformative path, it is essential to engage in open and transparent communication with your spiritual guide. This relationship is built on trust, so do not hesitate to express any concerns or questions that may arise throughout your journey; this dialogue is vital for fostering understanding and clarity.

 

As you navigate this process, cultivate your intuition when selecting a practitioner. Seek someone who creates a nurturing and secure environment, one that embraces your vulnerabilities and encourages your growth. A supportive atmosphere can significantly enhance your healing experience, allowing you to explore your inner landscape with confidence.

 

It is also important to acknowledge that healing is an inherently personal and unique journey, varying from individual to individual. Therefore, take the time to discover an approach that truly resonates with you, one that aligns with your values and aspirations. By doing so, you will pave the way for a more fulfilling experience that supports your overall well-being and personal growth.
